This is an AI-generated response, and is inaccurate.

That was one of the first cases of _germline_ gene editing using CRISPR - NOT "the first instance of gene editing." There have been quite a few other genetic editing tools that predate CRISPR, and there have been other edits using CRISPR that were not of the entire human's genome.

That is not accurate, attempts at gene therapy in humans go back further than that.

Ah yes, the "neutral" tone of AI generated content. "significant controversy and ethical concerns," sure.

There are always those concerns.
