In the episode, "CRISPR, Germline Editing, and Market-based Eugenics: A Glance at Modern-day Science Ethics (S2, E8)," I share the history, non-ethics, and worldwide scandal of the troublemaking CRISPR along with its off-target philosophy.
With the 2020 Nobel Prize honoring two women in Chemistry last year for their co-discovery of the gene-editing technology CRISPR, the world of medicine is set on the brink of change. But are we ready? The world science community is still in debate on whether a binding moratorium should be instated to prevent germline editing, but researchers forge ahead on private funding, all with the intention of annihilating "defective genes" from the future, including the mentally ill.
Tune in to hear my rant as I challenge these decisions in their "prudent path forward" as I affirm how I am not as crazy as you think. With the sword of truth, I stand by my declaration that mental illness is NOT genetic.
