Today, we’re diving into one of the most debated topics of our time: CRISPR gene editing technology. Join me and Neal Baer, M.D.—pediatrician, acclaimed television writer and producer (ER, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), and author of The Promise and Peril of CRISPR, published by Johns Hopkins University Press.
We’ll explore the moral, ethical, and policy challenges posed by CRISPR technology, taking a critical look at the history of eugenics—particularly during the 20th century—where eugenic ideas, both in Nazi Germany and in the United States, influenced forced sterilizations and discriminatory practices. Could the advent of gene editing technologies bring us back to a time when genetic selection was misused again? With input from leading philosophers, geneticists, and bioethicists, we’ll touch on what global regulation should look like, what lessons can be learned from controversial cases like the gene-editing scandal in China, and what predictions experts are making about the future of human genetics.
Join us as we get rebelliously curious.
