Human Genetic Enhancement with Sinead & James

from C B m E & U · host Centre for Biomedical Ethics

Send us Fan MailIn episode 2, and series first, James and Sinead banter their way through the ethics of human genetic enhancement. Many people think of this as designer babies, but whether we should genetically modify people requires us to ask deeper questions: what is it to live a good life? Is wanting a better life for your child always a good reason to change your child? Where is the line between wanting a better life for someone, and trying to control too much? Is it fair to others to become a superhuman? What karaoke song is best? Remember people, be savvy!
