This guy did so to two children, giving them an experimental immunity gene IIRC. He promptly faced jailtime for medical malpractice.
He apparently is back in the news for wanting to do alzheimers testing on mice and then zygotes. this time all above board, he says.

That's all wrong. He edited out the receptor for HIV. This is natural in some people. He did it for cash. He's not a doctor. The infraction is editing the human germline, which is not illegal in the USA, but is in most countries.
