Listen "Should We Change Our Genes?"
Episode Synopsis
So much of our personality, behaviors, appearance, and every day well-being is influenced by our genetic makeup. If we knew that a certain collection of genes made one's life worse, should we pursue and act on technology that would allow us to alter them?
There are a number of difficult moral questions surrounding the topic of genetic engineering. We discuss the extent to which our features are heritable, arguments for which features should or should not be altered, the implications of removing or altering certain traits, the importance of having these conversations ahead of the technology, and more. Stay curious and join the conversation!
