he claims to have altered the dna of newborn twins to make them resistant to hiv and says the families understood the risks. fellow scientists are outraged saying he crossed an ethical line. chinese officials have launched an investigation into the research. >>> back in the u.s. time now for a look at your weather for this wednesday. let's start in the northeast. the snow falling in new hampshire and the rest of northern new england is picturesque, but it's also heavy and bringing down some power lines. it's blamed for dozens of accidents including a charter bus that skidded off interstate 91 in vermont. and looking at today's temperatures, boston should reach 44 today and atlanta, 46 in atlanta. chicago and minneapolis will shiver in the 20s. portland and seattle reach the low 50s, and later today the big weather story will be the heavy rain that is expected in southern california and the central california area as well. >>> coming up, the new flying taxi of the future from audi. >>> but first the alleged hazing ritual that could send four high school football players to prison for th

one of her newborn twins is out of danger after having complications during delivery. and then double to run around i might babies were distressed at birth. the incubator has been detained because they're not as bad right now. christine somebody is the brain behind this lifesaving incubate or the team named jenius. that ugandan scientist is helping this public health facility in central uganda to manage your majesty's among the new borns. as of today we have managed to save over ninety two babies who looked into the eyes of the. and some of them passed out at some point so. there was there is and we have seen the worst there is. equipped with more than three hundred seventy since the incubator has over two hundred fail so features. from the atmosphere regulates temperature and monitors the baby's brain and somebody took six months to get two more years to stink it. and he's already working on another one with improved technology on that new incubator it's going to be able to carry four babies in different chambers. and each baby. is going to be monitored by an artifici

researcher is troversy in the medical field right now after announcing that he edited the dna of newborn twins the scientists whose work has no been verified said he altered genes from embryos during fertility treatment. it is controversial and allowed in some countries and that includes the u.s. when it comes to embryos intended for pregnancy. >> scientists claim they have developed a tool that rewrites the blue print of life. he said he altered dna under microscope editing the gentetic code. >> i know this is probably going to b the first. so if i have any problems, it may ruin the entire field. >> he said gene editing was done ring in-vitro fertilization. severalompanies took part. it was to disable a specifying gene, in this case, to disable the aids viru an american ethics expert said genediting isoth pre mature and unethical. >> we have a lot of work to do to prove and establish thatpr t edure is actually safe. i would say that no babies should be born at this point in time following t use of this technology. the risk i is that could permanently alter dna for future genetions. but the re

ongoing efforts to take human beings adults who have consensus to this in contrast of course the newborn twins and change their d.n.a. by gene editing to protect them from the virus she should have done that first at the very least to convince himself that his crisper is are safe he didn't do that he just went straight for the numbers i think that's really unfortunate ok so it's not your position that this technology should never under any circumstances be used to it to humans you just think it did needs to be controlled very much so let me give you an example there is a gene the loss of which protects humans from heart disease. do i see a future where after an extended set of rigorous studies beginning in adults first of course we start a serious conversation about potentially protecting newborn children from their risk of cardiovascular disease by removing the gene if we can convince ourselves that our say sure but i am there similarly a gene like this which causes all timers you know somebody who has the gene has an eighty percent chance of getting a full timers do i see a future where we d

he claims he altered the dna of a pair of newborn twins during invitro fetalization.scientists are outraged saying if true, he crossed a huge ethical line. he shared details at a summit in hong kong. >> so there are in total eight couples enrolled for this study. and one dropped out. the criteria requires the father to be hiv positive and the mother to be hiv negative. >> well, the scientist reportedly concealed information from colleagues and his bosses and took advantage of loosely-worded regulations. chinese officials have now launched an investigation into his research. >>> well, speaking of babies. >> yeah. >> "parents" magazine has come out with what it thinks will be the hottest baby names for 2019. >> among the big names for the little ones next year, names connected to "game of thrones." >> oh. >> expect to see a lot of little girls named for the characters including ariya, calessi and leanna. >> also hot, whatever harry and meghan name their baby. all right. just leave it open.
