The much maligned Jiankui He Chineses scientist Was he right ?

Last year, a scientist named Jiankui He scandalized the scientific world by using Crispr to edit CCR5 in human embryos, in an attempt to make children immune to HIV. The experiments crossed a plethora of ethical lines, in addition to not working that well. In response to the global outcry, China proposed new, stricter, regulations on gene-editing in humans.

But  now  almost everyone seems to be  on the Crispr bandwagon.

is it  sim[ply white people's racism and  Not made  here  syndrome  which leads such condemnations .

How much  of the  condemnation the  south korean scientist  and  his  cloning  experiments really deserved?
