Welcome to Synthetic Biology! How realistic is Jurassic Park, Gattaca, or Bladerunner? Today the boys unravel the mysteries to see how close we really are to editing the genome! Tom gives us a background on CRISPR-Cas9, the primary method of gene therapy while Mitch looks at artificial organs and biofuels. The boys debate the ethical considerations of such technologies and the current news that might make all of this a reality! EVA - 失望した
