This is fantastic news.
My hope is this method can be used to cure other diseases and that we have funding and that if viable, it’s made affordable.

Hopefully this is used to cure disease and not for the ultra wealthy to make genetically modified “super babies.”

Wow. That is stunning. I lost a dnd player because they only disclosed an infant grandchild is dying and left to devote more time to family. If something like that could save them, the ripple effect on impact over other peoples is huge.

The report said that the personalized treatment cost 1 million USD. Who bore the cost? Why are details like these conveniently left out?

Using the word “cure” is a little premature. The boy has seen unprecedented therapeutic benefit, but since CRISPR doesn’t edit every cell, it’s possible for the liver cells with the edit to dwindle and, thus, lose the therapeutic effect.

Here is hoping that this can be automated and mass produced (scalable) and be affordable at thr same time.
