> This is crucial in order to maintain ethical boundaries. After about 100 days after the fetus had been growing, the international team unanimously agreed to remove the fetus through a C-section. Bringing a "new human-gene-influenced monkey into this world would step over the ethical line," said Huttner.
> "To let them come to be born, in my opinion, would have been irresponsible as a first step," Huttner mentioned, "because you don't know what kind of behavioral change you'll get."
1) they thought about it

- alisonkisk 6y agoExcuse me, but "pro-choice" doesn't mean you get to choose whether to abort someone else's fetus.
- anchpop 6y agoIt was a monkey's fetus (I think saying "someone" implies a person rather than a monkey in this context, but sorry if I misinterpreted you). Arguably you shouldn't abort monkey's fetuses but you probably shouldn't genetically modify their embryos then forcibly implant them either. Or eat any kind of meat
