 Editing Our Genes:  Medical Issues
Once a science fiction fantasy, the power to engineer DNA is now within reach. With that power come complex and sometimes contentious questions about what can - and what should - be done, to change ourselves, and the world around us. Using a new genome editing technique, known as CRISPR/Cas9, scientists are exploring deletion, alteration, and addition of genes to a huge variety of organisms, from yeast to potatoes, to mosquitos to cattle. Perhaps most promising—but also most controversial—are possible uses of the technology in humans. Bioethicist Josephine Johnston joins Kim Hill and local experts for an exploration of the meaning and implications of gene editing technologies, with a particular focus on their possible uses to treat and prevent disease and disability in persons, as well as to shape the genomes of future generations. RNZ Recorded in association with the Royal Society.
