The group of scientists from one of the leading academic institutions, the University of Bath, thinks, science will be able to create genetically modified babies very soon. It will happen due to the rapid development of technologies allowing changes in DNA molecules.

Dr Tony Perry, a pioneer in cloning of animals, one of the participants of research, has announced about the revolution in genetics.

In the article, published in the Journal Scientific Reports, he detailed precisely editing the genome of mice at the point DNA.

In the interview with BBC, scientist told the efficiency of their method is close to 100% limit. He said, genetic studies have moved so forward that the possibility of 'designing babies' is no longer a fantasy.

Tony Perry said, that human genetic modifications are designed to eliminate disease conditions, so both the public and authorities need to be prepared for the serious discussion of this issue.
