China has halted the work of the scientist who claims to have created the world's first genetically edited babies, and says it will investigate.

在一次基因組峯會上，賀建奎稱他改變了一對雙胞胎女嬰的基因，這樣她們就無法感染艾滋病病毒，而這一言論引發了衆怒。

Last Thursday, China's science ministry said it had "demanded that the relevant organisation suspend the scientific activities of relevant personnel".
