In Brazil, researchers say they are seeing a disproportionate number of microcephalic infants with what appear to be severe deformities, many with four striking malformations at once: a large degree of brain tissue loss; unusually smooth, wrinkleless brains; many calcium deposits; and smaller cerebellums, which play a role in motor control.

When the CRISPR technology first came to light, governments and scientists everywhere assured the public that it would be employed only selectively, to fight disease and to rectify congenital deformities, editing out the mutated BRCA1 gene that predisposes women to breast cancer, for instance, or eliminating the ability of the Anopheles mosquito to carry the parasite that transmits malaria.
