Anchetă în China după moartea unei fetițe de 6 ani în timpul unei terapii genice experimentale. Părinţii au plătit 800.000 de dolari

A six-year-old girl died during an experimental gene therapy in China, prompting an investigation by Jiao Tong University. The therapy aimed to correct a genetic mutation but resulted in a severe immune reaction. Parents paid over $800,000 for the treatment, which was not disclosed in subsequent research publications. Experts criticize the researchers for downplaying risks and continuing the trial despite low success chances. The university has pledged a thorough investigation and potential consequences based on findings. The case raises ethical concerns about genetic research in China, reminiscent of past controversies.
