Genetic modification of human embryos controversy
editIn 2015, the journal sparked controversy when it published a paper reporting results of an attempt to alter the DNA of non-viable human embryos to correct a mutation that causes beta thalassemia, a lethal heritable disorder.[2][3] According to the paper's lead author, the paper had previously been rejected by both Nature and Science in part because of ethical concerns; the journals did not comment to reporters.[4]
