Two females made history, with a gene editing tool they invented, to help sick people, etc, but something like it or that itself could be used to make super athletes, what some have feared, it might have already been done, like the guy in the eddie murphy movie, when u advertise a product, manufacture it, or make a statement, u have to prove it...esp when money is involved...two countries, both islands, qualified out of the blue, a coincidence??

Take that, U.S. legal system. In a decision that reflects the views of many (but far from all) experts on genome editing, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Wednesday awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to American biochemist Jennifer Doudna of the University of California, Berkeley, and French microbiologist Emmanuelle Charpentier of the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, for their 2012 discovery that a bacterial immune system called CRISPR can be repurposed to edit DNA, the molecule of heredity.

The award smashed records and made scientific history as the only science Nobel ever won by two women.
