What David Liu has said
“We are not always beholden to the misspellings in our DNA. Baby KJ's story really made people realize that it is possible — although not easy — to diagnose a child with an otherwise fatal genetic disorder, generate a customized gene-editing agent that can correct that mutation, and administer it in time to save the life of a baby.”
