Biological, ethical, and social considerations of Cloning and CRISPR | RC 55

Today, we're diving into the depths of cloning, not just as a scientific marvel, but as a gateway to broader ethical questions brought forth by advancements like cloning, CRISPR and other genetic engineering technologies. As we navigate this complex topic, we'll ponder the implications of manipulating human and possibly animal tissues. Are we on the brink of redefining what it means to be human? Should we limit our focus to human cloning, or should we expand our scope to encompass all aspects of genetic modification and enhancement?

Join Paul Root Wolpe Ph.D., Director of the Center for Ethics at Emory University and I as we embark on a journey through the realms of science, ethics, and the very essence of life itself. Join us as we get rebelliously curious.
