| Description |
Cali and Nira are non-identical twins. Before they were born, their genes were edited to make them immune to a disease associated with memory loss. The procedure had never been attempted before. It was a choice based on theory. A choice with an unknown outcome. A life, lives, altered. The human race has never been the same.
Inspired by the true story of the world’s first genetically edited twins Lulu and Nana, born in October 2018. |
