Babby is healed with first personalized gene-editing treatment

To accomplish that feat, the treatment is wrapped in fatty lipid molecules to protect it from degradation in the blood on its way to the liver, where the edit will be made. Inside the lipids are instructions that command the cells to produce an enzyme that edits the gene. They also carry a molecular GPS — CRISPR — which was altered to crawl along a person’s DNA until it finds the exact DNA letter that needs to be changed.

I'm not sure if the babby is human anymore. I'm sorry, but I'd have a hard time believing my child had "the disease" to begin with. Hope they got a second and third opinion. I'd like to know if the parents were partakers of the clotshots.

So,"Babby" has zero chance.
