Streamed live on 13 April 2016.

After we made today’s guest, Paul Knoepfler, author of GMO Sapiens: The Life-Changing Science of Designer Babies, explain what CRISPR is, what it can do, and what we might or might not want it to do right now to make genetically modified babies, we covered a lot of fascinating territory that included genetics, biotechnology, ethics, better-baby contests — and why these are all really important, timely things to be discussing.
