This highlights why it was so irresponsible to create CRISPR babies, and why you take things slow in science. Don't let the analogies about bio being programmable just like a computer fool you - it's not that easy or that simple. Bio is messy and complex.

Note: looks like these findings are from preprint, and so still need to undergo peer review. This is a phenomenon that was anticipated however based on the science, even though as the article states there some controversy around the specific mechanisms at play.
