Baby is healed with first personalized gene-editing treatment

As a father, the idea of being told my 1 week old baby is going to die would be my worst nightmare. The fact these doctors and scientists saved this childs life is a monument to modern medical science. This is absolutely insane. Hopefully the child doesnt need a liver transplant, but this is a great leap forward.

This question is logically sensible but considered emotionally abhorrent. If you haven't been tested for autism you should consider taking a quiz.

> that the child will die at some point

So what? So a father shouldn't celebrate medical advances that mean their kid doesn't have to die after a week? And if it does, they should just be like "Ah, that's life!"

I never said any of this

I didn't say you did. I was trying to understand your point, and so was inferring what you could possibly have meant with your original comment.

Oh, sorry. I definitely think a father can (should?) celebrate medical advancements like this, and definitely shouldn't undermine death like "Ah, that's life". My point is that people often worry about their children's death when they themselves are still alive. Death seems okay if it's when they don't get to see it
