Specifically, I look into the ethical implications &#8211; both good and bad &#8211; of CRISPR technology. Many scientists consider CRISPR technology the answer to a number of the world&#8217;s foremost problems, such as crop shortages and death by disease. Others, however, are quick to warn that using this technology may lead us down a slippery slope to designer babies and new-age eugenics. In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Megan Hochstrasser of the Innovative Genomics Institute joins me to discuss CRISPR technology and it&#8217;s ethical implications.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, a big thanks to my friend Max Pozek for creating the intro and outro music for this episode of the podcast.
