    Laws were changed after this incident:

    In 2020, the National People’s Congress of China passed Civil Code and an amendment to Criminal Law that prohibit human gene editing and cloning with no exceptions

    So, in case you actually meant that weird ignorant remark you made about Uyghurs, the answer is no and no.

      Lemmitors downvoting you because actually learning about the case conflicts with their “cHiNa BaD” circlejerk.

      It was a joke… You don’t get to jail for experimenting with slaves in China.

      Thanks for the information – good to know. I assume that like American law, he couldn’t be punished for something that wasn’t illegal when he did it?

      Regarding the Uyghur comment the other guy made, definitely a bit tasteless but I don’t think it’s that ignorant given the genocide China perpetrated against them.

        What he did was illegal. Even without specific laws about genetic modification or cloning, he did perform experiments with babies without the necessity approvals from ethics and safety, without informed consent from the parents and likely misusing funds allocated to other research.

        3 years is still to short.

              Yeah I do assume racists are racist when they pull random claims that non-white countries are ontologicaly evil with no proof, it shows the racists bias.

                Or Russia! Remember that saying anything bad about Russia is also racist.

                Or maybe it’s not the color of the skin what the issue… But that would mean independent thinking, which is frowned upon by tankies. I’m assuming you’re a tankie because you say things a tankie would say. It’s generally a very weak way to make assumptions, but given it’s exactly what you’re doing, seems only fair.

                  Not like you my independent, free thinker who regurgitates all narratives slurped out of the arsehole of the upper classes media conglomerates, your thoughts and race realism theories on the inherent evilness of countries that your free thinking mind has decided to dehumanize and other despite not actually knowing the reality of it outside of what you read; you are the true thinker!

                  Tell me more about how you’ve come to the conclusion that the CPC doesnt care about its own internal rule of law or defacto punishments after the fact despite the article suggesting nothing of the sort; im sure it will enlighten me in a way me or my tankie comrades havent considered. (Lets ignore the fact the CPC imprisoned the person who did this and banned his colleagues from ever practicing medicine, as the facts of this dont matter to you, only the headline that you can infer to confirm your advanced kkklan race realism theory)

                    You’re going to have to tell where you got that, haven’t said anything like that. I said it seems little punishment, is that what you’re trying to make into a massive racial insult?

                    Or maybe… You just jump into the “racist!” Bandwagon regardless of context?
