Genetic Engineering: Designer Babies and Beyond

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the complex ethical landscape of genetic engineering, focusing on the controversial topic of designer babies. As science pushes the boundaries of what’s possible—from editing genes to eliminate diseases to selecting physical traits—where should we draw the line? We discuss the promises and perils of CRISPR technology, the societal consequences of genetic enhancement, and the philosophical questions surrounding human identity and equality. Join us as we unpack the science, ethics, and future of a rapidly evolving field that could redefine what it means to be human.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kurzgesagt-podcast-science-revealed--6600013/support.
