Why do Western biologists think what they do is the only ethical thing? no one has a monopoly on ETHICS AND MORALITY

 Why do Western biologists think what they do is the only ethical thing?



The  latest is  the case  of  use of Crisper by  He Jiankui

Chinese biologist who stirred a storm of controversy over his move to edit the genes of human embryos did not show up at a Hong Kong seminar he had previously agreed to attend.
He Jiankui, an associate professor at the Shenzhen-based Southern University of Science and Technology, is now better known as the “father” of the world’s first baby twins with genes artificially edited so they are immune to the HIV virus.
He was absent from the opening ceremony of the Second International Summit on Human Genome Editing held at the University of Hong Kong on Tuesday morning. However, the biologist is scheduled to give a talk on Wednesday. An expert with the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Center for Bioethics told local media that He’s justification for editing human embryo genes – to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS by “creating” humans immune to the infectious disease – was “deplorable”. as HIV/AIDS could be prevented and treated via other means proven to be effective.

Gene-editing is banned in the US because the DNA changes could be passed onto future humans and it risks harming other genes as well as people’s immune systems, the Associated Press reported on Monday.

David Baltimore, chair of the organizing committee of the Hong Kong summit and 1975 Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine, noted in his opening remarks on Tuesday that scientists can only do gene-editing experiments on human embryos for a maximum of 14 days to avoid the ethical complexity and complications that could arise from any prolonged research.

 the same  people  who find it  moral and  ethical to  kill millions of people  with their  military industrial complex decide what is ethical and  what is  non ethical based on  this stupid  Judeo christian religion.

For a communist atheist or a rational agnostic this does not apply.

 no one has a monopoly on  ETHICS AND MORALITY
