Breakthrough genetic procedure could treat birth defects in embryos

Wednesday, August 2, 2017 - 18:22 in Health & Medicine

Researchers say they've made a breakthrough in gene editing. For the first time, researchers have successfully repaired a genetic mutation in human embryos, which has the potential to prevent a birth defect. CBS chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook weighs in.
