Human baby gene editing is here?

Human baby gene editing is here?
No ones sure if it's actually been done yet or not, but that's the claim. A chinese scientist states that he has modified embryo with CRISPR to make them impervious to HIV infection. The reason, the sperm donor (father) was HIV positive.

Apparently the scientific community is in a bit of a uproar. It seems like the position is "too much, too soon" and in this case "unnecessary". 

I don't really see that much wrong with it. We new it would be eventually used.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
