Science is good but this technique have no outcome as long term effect of gene editing is unknown. Science may stuff price of this real experiment.

They should have spoken up about it, but why should we expect scientists to speak up? The Catholic Church allowed pedophilia to go on for generations, or longer, while concurrently spewing morality to the masses. It seems the church should be the moral compass, not scientists.

Its china you don't speak up unless told to.

Nope. Welcome to the Brave New World just being public.
