25. To be fair...

In 2017 a group of scientists successfully "edited" a gene in an embryo linked to heart issues.

We recently successfully transformed hydrogen into a metallic state which could provide great value to society.

We have recently had huge advancements in artificially growing human tissue.

We are refining ways to target cancers by way of biomarkers. This is showing positive signs.
