Scientists Take a Harder Look at Genetic Engineering of Human Embryos
from Science, Spoken · host SpokenLayer
The distant future of designer babies might not seem so distant after all. The last year has been full of news about genetic engineering—much of it driven by the the cut-and-paste technique called Crispr. And at the top of the list: news that Crispr could modify human embryos, correcting a relatively common, often deadly mutation. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
