GENOME EDITING WEAPON SCARIER THAN ATOMIC BOMB

“A person can create a person with any given characteristics.

He can be a genius mathematician, he can be a musician, but he can also be a military man

a man who can fight without fear and pity and compassion, and without pain,”

said Russian President Vladimir Putin during the World Festival of Youth and Students in October 2017.

At the same time, he said that genome editing is a weapon that is “scarier than an atomic bomb.”
