Chinese researchers alter embryo DNA: Do results cross ethical tripwires?
24 April 2015, 12:00 am

                    The study has added urgency to recent calls from scientists, ethicists, and leaders in the biotech industry to take immediate, serious steps globally to weigh the legal, ethical, and social implications of manipulating DNA within heritable cells. A recently developed tool for editing an organism's genetic make-up has led scientists in China to cross a boundary that researchers have avoided since the dawn of genetic engineering 42 years ago - altering genes in fertilized human embryos.

theyve had humans crossed with chimpanzees since the 50's,  its pretty sad.

With some dedicated "tinkering" they could indeed, over time, develop a human with all the best, strongest, smartest, fastest traits...the super human...
I think that was already tried before but with failed results. Of course they didn't have DNA genome sequences to work with either.
We'll see either way....
