**Gene Editing Offers Hope for Millions After Saving a Critically Ill Baby: Scientists Now Accepting Applications for “Super Babies”**
In a groundbreaking development that has left the scientific community both thrilled and slightly terrified, gene editing has officially saved a critically ill baby, leading to a surge of interest in “Super Baby” applications. The baby, affectionately dubbed “Gene-ius,” was saved by a team of scientists who reportedly used a combination of CRISPR technology and a secret recipe for grandma’s chicken soup.
Dr. Ima Genius, the lead scientist on the project, stated, “We were just trying to fix a few genes, but then we accidentally gave the baby the ability to recite Shakespeare while doing calculus. Oops!” When asked about the implications of gene editing, Dr. Genius added, “We’re not just saving lives; we’re creating future world leaders. Or at least, really good TikTok stars.”
Parents everywhere are now lining up to get their hands on gene editing for their own children. “I just want my kid to be able to do math without crying,” said local mom Karen Overachiever. “If they can also fly and shoot lasers from their eyes, that’s just a bonus!”
Meanwhile, the FDA has announced that they will be accepting applications for “Super Babies” starting next month. “We’re looking for babies who can already do basic math and have a strong social media presence,” said FDA spokesperson Pat N. Pending. “We want to ensure that these babies are not only genetically superior but also marketable.”
As the world holds its breath in anticipation of the next generation of gene-edited prodigies, one thing is clear: the future is bright, and it’s probably wearing a cape.
