Listen "Katie Mead: CRISPR"
Episode Synopsis
Once a concept only to be found in science fiction movies, gene editing is now making its way into the realm of possibility. However, scientific discovery isn't the only part of the conversation when it comes to CRISPR editing; the bio-ethical questions surrounding gene editing are hardly settled. From the idea of customizing babies to what constitutes a disability, policymakers are torn on how to approach CRISPR. We sit down with Katie Mead to discuss both the scientific process behind CRISPR and the ethical dilemma overshadowing it.
