Wasn't he the guy who was trying to find a way for HIV-positive couples to have HIV-negative babies?

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago

Antiretroviral therapy for pregnant women already is a safe and effective way to avoid HIV transmission to the baby. It's part of standard treatment guidelines https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1701216324003748

So the guy has genetically engineered babies as a potentially risky and certainlycontroversial solution for a problem that already has a safe and non-controversia solution.
