Genomic Engineering - The Quest for the Perfect HumanWhen hear the term 'genetic engineering', what do you think of? Does your mind immediately jump to the extreme thoughts of eugenics and creating 'the perfect human'? Or do you think of more socially acceptable genetic modifications to treat medical diseases such as cancer and inflammation? Well regardless of what you facet of genetic modification you think of, genetic engineering in any form is considered controversial by many. So what exactly is genetic engineering, and how is it be using to both treat disease and to alter some of our available choices for the babies we are producing?

Dr. Eben Kirksey, Anthropologist & Author, “The Mutant Project: Inside the Global Race to Genetically Modify Humans”This week on BioTech Nation, we talk with Dr. Eben Kirksey about the ethical issues behind CRISPR, the gene-editing tool that made headlines with the birth of the first “CRISPR babies” in China. Dr. Kirksey shares his experiences investigating this controversial experiment and highlights the deeper questions it raises. He stresses the importance of public dialogue, urging us to consider carefully who benefits from such powerful technologies as we shape the future of gene editing. 2024-11-0638 minTechNation Radio PodcastTechNation Radio PodcastEpisode 24-42 The CRISPR BabiesOn this week’s Tech Nation, Moira speaks with Anthropologist EBEN KIRKSEY, a professor of anthropology at Deakin University in Melbourne.
