Chinese researchers incited new debate over genetic engineering of human embryos with a report that Tabitha M. Powledge says the major journals shunned: "The new paper appeared in the Springer journal Protein & Cell and is open-access. Why, you ask, not in Nature or Science, which loooooove hot papers? These top journals do want hot papers, they do, but apparently don’t want them as hot as this one. Both journals turned it down – on, it is said, ethical grounds."
