05 | Artificial Evolution: Gene-Edited Babies - Science Friction
Description
In 2018, a Chinese scientist made an announcement that shocked the world — and landed him years in prison.
In a special episode of Artificial Evolution, Health Report reporter Shelby Traynor traces the story of He Jiankui, the researcher who helped to produce genetically edited babies.
His actions invited condemnation from scientists worldwide and opened new fronts of scientific and ethical debate.
