As Gods: A Moral History of the Genetic Age - Matthew Cobb

Just because we can, does it mean that we should? Technology is developing so fast and enables so many new opportunities, but is there reason to occasionally pause and consider broader implications? Prof. Matthew Cobb is today's guest, and he discusses the history of recombinant DNA techniques and the times where researchers stepped back and had serious conversations about this powerful technology. He then poses the same questions to instances of gene drives, human germline editing and gain-of-function research.
