Recently, South Africa has taken steps that could lead to the creation of "designer babies." While this term may sound unusual, it reflects a significant advancement in genetic science. In May, South Africa announced a revision to its national health research guidelines.

This development could represent a major breakthrough in genetic modification. However, editing human genes that can be inherited has always been a controversial topic. Many people are concerned about the social implications and the risks involved.
