In maybe 20 or 30 years time - I might be proven wrong. He might be rigorously monitoring his works, and we might have a proper scope of what happened in 2018 through his willingness to cooperate with the larger scientific community. But at the end of the day - I believe it doesn’t right his wrongs.

And so I have argued in the past that he does all of this for fame. The loud announcement seven years back about a breakthrough in germline gene editing - to the current day “unhinged” tweets on X; it just feels like a shout for attention.

And to argue that he did it for the science, or the “greater good” - would not be entirely correct. If it really were to be the case - surely we would have documentation or at least some data (transparency) to trace what he has done, or even monitoring the babies after the experiment.

And therefore to argue that he was doing it for the parents and their future generation would not be correct, as there is no consideration for the parents whether they actually want their children to be put under this “novel” experiment - nor actually considering the aftermath, whether it works.
