This is indeed happening. So what is your point? You want my opinion on such editing?

I don’t want anyone’s opinion on gene-editing. It’s a fact. It can be observed. These scientists are editing a unique clump of cells that are the beginning of human development.

Nobody is denying the potential of the cell developing into a body, being ensouled and then becoming a human being.I don’t want anyone’s opinion on gene-editing. It’s a fact. It can be observed. These scientists are editing a unique clump of cells that are the beginning of human development.
That too is a matter of perspective.You are really good at arguing! I am very impressed!
I am regularly clobbered for my own misstatements on this board.
I have learned to quickly retract when I cannot back my statements.
One can only hope that the retracted statements are not vital to the argument in general. Is your entire position dependent upon that which you cannot back up?

So your entire position is not making any statements so that you don’t need to back them up ? You are indeed a great debater! I am very impressed!I have learned to quickly retract when I cannot back my statements.

You are the one claiming they have no souls.
You are the one being asked to back the statement.
You are the one refusing to do so.
Now, are you going to retract or defend?

You are the one who is refusing to state that a fertilized egg has a soul or not.
I definitely believe it does not have a soul. What do you believe?
State your belief or leave.

But I am not the one that needs to defend their statements…you are.

You have a definition that does not apply.
Prove it.I definitely believe a fertilized egg does not have a soul.
Back your positive assertion with facts.
Or retract your statement.

I define human being as someone with a human body and a human soul - which part does not apply?You have a definition that does not apply.

“The process is astonishingly simple. In the embryo’s first moments, the Hox genes are dormant, packaged like a spool of wound yarn on the DNA. When the time is right, the strand begins to unwind. When the embryo begins to form the upper levels, the genes encoding the formation of cervical vertebrae come off the spool and become activated. Then it is the thoracic vertebrae’s turn, and so on down to the tailbone. The DNA strand acts a bit like an old-fashioned computer punchcard, delivering specific instructions as it progressively goes through the machine.”
“A new gene comes out of the spool every ninety minutes, which corresponds to the time needed for a new layer of the embryo to be built,” explains Duboule. “It takes two days for the strand to completely unwind; this is the same time that’s needed for all the layers of the embryo to be completed.” This system is the first “mechanical” clock ever discovered in genetics. And it explains why the system is so remarkably precise." Source
Childish behavior will only erode your credibility.I definitely believe a fertilized egg does not have a soul. What do you believe?
The mature thing to do here is own up to the statement, either defend it or retract it.

A human being has a developmental starting point. It is the fertilized egg. That can be gene-edited. The soul does not matter.
