In this week's episode, we welcome back Dr. Michele Mekel to discuss CRISPR-Cas9 which enables scientists to edit parts of the genetic material of living organisms. This discussion focuses on the ethical, anthropological, and biological implications of this technology. For future healthcare providers, we talk about things to think about as this technology begins to be used in applications never before thought possible.
