What are the moral and ethical implications of genetic hacking/modification? What is CRISPR? How does it work? How could it be applied? Nathan McConkey joins me on episode 010 of Beyond Boundaries to talk about Genetics. It is a fascinating conversation, in which I do my best to keep up. Also, for those of you CrossFitters listening, there is a point in the podcast where Nate references rhabdomyolysis - And I was like, you know what, this is my podcast, so we are gonna go down this rabbit trail. So there is that.
At one point in the podcast, I reference a Ukrainian clinic that is using DNA from three different people to create a baby. You can learn more about that at the link below.
