Only eight babies from 22 families hardly justify the massive investment, and three children still carry mutated DNA that could cause future problems. The lack of public updates to date indicates a troubling level of secrecy.
There's a 50% chance that the first human genome will be artificially synthesized by October 2044, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
