SUMMARY:Should We Re-Engineer Humanity?
DESCRIPTION:In 2015 we saw a revolution in genetic science. New techniques have drastically simplified bioengineering\, raising urgent questions about what genes we should and shouldn’t modify. In this conversation\, Carl Zimmer and Daniel Kevles will explore the past\, present\, and future of biotech ethics. \nCarl Zimmer (@carlzimmer) is a science columnist for the The New York Times\, and has also been published in Discover\, National Geographic\, Quanta\, among many others. He’s written 13 books\, the most recent of which is Evolution: Making Sense of Life. His next book will be on the science of heredity. \nDaniel Kevles explores the interactions between society and science. He is an historian of science at Yale University\, and has written extensively about a wide range of topics\, including physics\, eugenics\, scientific fraud\, and intellectual property. His most recent book is Living Properties: Making Knowledge and Controlling Ownership in the History of Biology.
