Recently, a research team released the latest research results of gene editing of human embryos immunized with HIV virus, which is based on the experiment of embryonic cells of AIDS. Through editing and rewriting human embryonic genes, we hope to achieve the effect of immunity against AIDS. The realistic problem is that the function of genes is not single, linear, but a kind of reticular structure, which often affects the whole body. We don't know what other reactions will occur if we change one, which is probably beyond the control of editors. However, gene editing technology has incomparable medical advantages and irreplaceable positive significance in avoiding and treating major diseases and repairing congenital defects.
