You have probably heard of all these risks. This is also why gene-edited babies are strictly prohibited throughout the world.

This crossed the line, but the deed was done. Judging from human history, humans are creatures that break through their limits again and again.
Once the number of gene-edited babies in various countries expands, they will inevitably place pressure on us.
At one of our internal meetings, someone said this about Comrade Song He: Among a hundred million high school students over ten years, there might not even be one Song He. But once gene-edited babies mature, we could easily and cheaply raise hundreds or even thousands of Song Hes.
If a thousand Song Hes appeared in the enemy camp, how could we compete with them? It was an absurd scenario, but at the same time, it was an extremely serious and realistic threat.
Some people were already working toward this goal. Comrade Song He, you must still remember Veronica. Besides obtaining medical technology from you, Veronica's mission was also to obtain your genetic samples. Someone was working to collect genetic samples from
