3:18Now PlayingCan we — and should we — rewrite the genetic code of future humans?
In this powerful clip, we explore the boundary between possibility and morality in gene editing. Scientists can now modify bacterial genomes with ease — but editing a human embryo? That’s a whole other level, with massive ethical and biological risks.
👶 The world was rocked when a Chinese scientist illegally altered human embryos to resist HIV. What followed was global outrage, a scientific moratorium, and deep questions about who gets to decide the future of humanity.
🔍 Why editing human embryos is so risky
🔍 The infamous 2018 CRISPR baby case
🔍 Global reaction & scientific responsibility
🔍 Hidden dangers: gene networks & unintended effects
🔍 Are scientists being forced to make moral calls alone?
⚠️ The tech is here. But are we ready?
