A CHINESE scientist who claimed to have created the world's first gene-edited babies has defended his controversial work – and says another experimental pregnancy has already begun. The experiment – which supposedly resulted in the birth of gene-edited twin girls – has been branded "monstrous" by some experts. Earlier this week, He Jiankui told the world that he had altered the DNA of embryos to create two babies that were protected against HIV, the AIDs virus. There's been no hard evidence for the feat yet, as Jiankui says the parents of the twins want to remain anonymous. This type of science is banned in the UK, because it's often considered unethical and unsafe. Unsurprisingly, Jiankui has faced heavy criticism over his experiment. But speaking at a genome summit in Hong Kong, Jiankui said he was "proud" of his work. He also said that "another potential pregnancy" of a gene-edited embryo was in its early stages. There's plenty of scepticism around Jiankui's … [Read more...] about Defiant Chinese scientist says SECOND woman pregnant with ‘gene-edited baby’ – and more are on the way

Pokemon GO: How to Get a Sinnoh Stone
The fabled day of cross-gen evolutions has come to Niantic’s mobile ARG Pokemon GO. Now, while not every single evolution has come to the game as of yet, we do know how to evolve the likes of Rhydon, Magmar, and Electabuzz into Rhypherior, Magmortar, and Electivire. Of course, players will want to first save up their candy, as each evolution requires 100 candy, which is no surprise. For some, the surprise may be the addition of a new Pokemon GO evolutionary item: the Sinnoh Stone. Players will need it to evolve every new evolution related to the Sinnoh Region (one exception could be Glaceon and Leafeon due to Eevee’s random nature).To get a Sinnoh Stone, players will need to complete field research and unlock a Research Breakthrough. While this rewards players with a rare encounter, it will also give players the Sinnoh Stone. Considering there are over 20 species of Pokemon that are reliant upon this item that takes seven days to get, fulfilling the Sinnoh … [Read more...] about Pokemon GO: How to Get a Sinnoh Stone

We've seen her do it a couple of times before but... the nurse is pregnant. And June assumes her form, with the baby still inside her. So, um, how does … [Read more...] about The Innocents creators explain exactly HOW shapeshifting into a pregnant nurse works in the Netflix show
Monster Hunter World Gets Honest Trailer Treatment
With Monster Hunter World having received near-universal acclaim from fans and critics alike – our own review of the game is overwhelmingly positive, for instance – one might be under the impression that the title doesn’t have as much inadequate content as usual to provide enough fodder to fill out an Honest Trailer. Despite this, the team over at Smosh Games was able to make it work all the same by using the action-RPG’s strengths as source material for some pretty hilarious jokes and gags. As seen below in the Honest Trailer for Monster Hunter World, Smosh Games’ humor is immediately on point, introducing the action-RPG as a product “from the people that brought you evil houses [Resident Evil], streets that fight [Street Fighter], and crying devils [Devil May Cry]” that has been born out of a “series about a Japanese Jurassic Park.” From there, Smosh comments on the various absurdities of MHW, including its “insanely … [Read more...] about Monster Hunter World Gets Honest Trailer Treatment
