Ethics

CRISPR human gene editing is quickly advancing with the advent of Lulu and Nana, allegedly the first CRISPR babies to be HIV-resistant. CRISPR technology can directly manipulate the genomes of humans, but also plants and animals, creating a wide-range of applications from bioterrorism to climate healing. What are the medical, economic, environmental, and social consequences of genetic manipulation?  In this lecture, Dr. Arvin Gouw will discuss the application and implications of CRISPR technology.
