In Episode 22, Clare and Masha are discussing the amazing 1997 film, Gattaca.
In our conversation we look at the science and ethics of gene editing, including the advocacy for an update in the law to eliminate hereditary disease.
We explore the fascinating theories of genetics and the impact on us of our DNA, with particular reference to Robert Plomin's book, Blueprint, as well as passing reference to Robert Sapolsky's work on free-will.
We link this with ideas of meritocracy and social mobility, and cite ideas and statistics from Michael Sandel's books, Justice and The Tyranny of Merit.
