The scientist who created modified babies with DNA faces the death penalty

Colleagues of Chinese scientist He Jianqui, who claims to have created genetically modified twins who are resistant to the AIDS virus, say he is threatened with severe, even fatal punishment because of the research that many consider disgusting.

The scientist, who has reportedly been arrested in a state-owned apartment in Shenzhen since December, could face corruption charges ʹ a crime punishable by death in his country, reports the Daily Mail. Professor Robin Lovel-Bage, from London's “Franks Creek”, says some people have lost their heads due to corruption. At the same time, William Ni, a China-based researcher in Amnesty International, says China is executing more people than any other country in the world, while the death penalty system has spread throughout the country, the Kosovo Press broadcasts.

He is believed to be under continued supervision of the armed guards. The Daily Mail claims that He is a physician according to the profession, not a biologist, and that he was not qualified or capable of doing his own research in question. He is believed to have used his 40 million-dollar fortune to finance this project and committed privately qualified scientists to conduct a research that is otherwise slightly known, except that he violated all rules and instructions on ethics and legitimacy in the field of genetics. Genetic modification is prohibited in Britain, the U.S. and in many other parts of the world, and researchers show that if Jianqui's claims are true, his <x0-monstruous experiment” is not morally protected. Twins Lulu and Nana are suspected of being born in October and are believed to be the goal of their genetic modification was to be resistant to the side of the virus. These potentially dangerous changes in DNA can be passed on to future generations, and this field of research is still in its infancy and is unknown. The claims of Chinese scientists have yet to be fully confirmed.
