Who Gets to Call an Edited Embryo Healthy?

Origin Genomics said it wants to show that the benefits of editing disease-causing genes in human embryos can outweigh the risks and support the birth of healthy babies.

Two Measles Deaths Break the Old Assumption

The CDC confirmed two measles-related deaths among 3,659 US cases in 2026, a 35-year high, while Pennsylvania reported more than 900 cases.

Reuters reported that McDonald’s is exploring AI-assisted pricing while retailers increasingly use customer data and software to tailor prices, promotions, and offers.

The Appointment Is on Time. The Road Is Closed.

Israeli forces closed an entrance gate at Deir Istiya in the occupied West Bank, forcing Zahriya Abu Hijleh to be carried between ambulances during an urgent hospital transfer before she died.

$20.7 Billion Does Not Refill the Missile Rack Overnight

The Pentagon awarded RTX’s Raytheon a $20.7 billion contract for AMRAAM missiles as US officials and military planners faced concern about available missile inventories.
