Unnatural Selection: The Future of Human Directed Evolution
Description
We are living the science fiction. What was thought to be impossible only half a century ago is now becoming reality. With the development of technology like CRISPR-Cas9, we are able to “pop the hood” of human genome and edit ourselves. The promises and perils of such technology are immense, the new Netflix series, Unnatural Selection, has picked up on that.
