CRISPR co-inventor and UC Berkeley biochemist Jennifer Doudna was also at the summit. Her reaction to this potentially worrisome genetic milestone?

"Disturbing."

Just wrapped a fascinating interview with former #HongKong Chief Secretary Anson Chan.

We talked about the #UmbrellaMovement and passing the torch of democracy to a new generation.

She also has this message for China:

"I would like to say to Beijing -- trust the people of Hong Kong, trust our young protest leaders. They are our future, and use Hong Kong as a testing ground for introducing full democracy." 

The interview will air today on News Stream 8pHKT on CNN International. Don't miss it!
