Comment on First human trials of designer protein therapies stun US neuroscientists

Comments

Wasn't there just a post a few days ago about how Chinese researchers ignored a bunch of ethical and safety guidelines to run some of this research and ended up killing a girl?

The article just brushes aside that incident and seems to assume that because China is doing this experimentation, it's ahead in regards to gene therapy targeting the brain.

"Multiple controlled trials" is quite different from an under-the-table, privately funded bespoke therapy for a single patient.

The article mentions that incident and links to it too.

from the article:

Several people died recently in early-stage gene therapy trials in China.
