Agree to SisAgree: Opposing opinions, shared respect
Episode 20: The Gene Scene
What happens when science gives us the power to rewrite the code of life itself? Sharon and Karen dive into the fascinating and sometimes frightening world of gene editing in this thought-provoking episode.
The conversation begins with recent headlines about scientists "bringing back" dire wolves through genetic modification—a claim that's not quite accurate but raises profound questions about how far we should go with this powerful technology. Should we use gene editing to eliminate conditions like deafness or Down syndrome when many people with these conditions don't view them as problems to be fixed but as integral parts of their identities? This leads to broader questions about diversity, what it means to be "normal," and whether pursuing genetic "perfection" might actually diminish humanity rather than enhance it.
