Dear Lulu and Nana,
Welcome to the world, very special girls!!!

You can send a note to Lulu and Nana at dearluluandnana@gmail.com

You are very special, not because of your DNA, but simply because you are human. While you will (likely) hold the distinction of being the world’s first CRISPR gene edited children, it is your humanity that makes your arrival worthy of praise, love…
