If he survived, he would have severe mental and developmental delays and would eventually need a liver transplant. But half of all babies with the disorder die in the first week of life.

I'm NOT evil. And I resent any suggestion to 'edit' me.

I second that motion.

I totally agree, Gene and Gene. I can't imagine editing either one of you; in word or otherwise. Though, now that you bring it up, it is a bit ironic that the name Gene itself is very often an edited version of the name Eugene. You? Gene?

But, I was hoping to share information about what strikes me as a significant scientific and medical breakthrough. This child has likely been cured of an otherwise fatal and debilitating genetic defect. Time will tell, but it's promising. And it is the result of recent scientific advances in gene editing and the development of a method for implanting the modified genetic code into the living baby. Thankfully, nobody named Gene was physically injured.

Article started well then wanted me to pay. I am not going to get a subscription to The NY Times. May find some information elsewhere. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm sorry about that. I'm supposed to be able share ten stories each month to non-subscribers by using a special link. As I recall, Mags told me about it not working, too. I just forgot. I've attached the article in PDF format if you're still interested.

Thanks for the PDF. Ya, I couldn't access it either.
