UNIVERSE CITY - Designing Children
- 9 years ago
Listen up you mudbloods! There is a new morally dubious technique to gentically modify embryos, and spoiler: it doesn't work well. Raj explains how the CRISPR/Cas9 method of editing the genetic code fails harder than the fences at Jurassic Park. Jono hopes the future gentically pure race of superhumans will be smart enough to understand this process, and realize it is a bad idea. Joe sides with the Goldblum philosophy: "life finds a way."
