Hello! We are introducing the first-ever episode of Bioethics Dialogues! In this episode, your co-stars, Nirali and Sanya, are discussing CRISPR-Cas9 and the ethical implications of it. CRISPR-Cas9 is a controversial gene editing technology that can be used to modify the genome or turn genes on/off in both cells and organisms. We are engaging in a debate-style conversation to provide our own insightful thoughts on this technology and we encourage you to join us to learn about CRISPR and form your own opinions on it!

Thank you for your time and please enjoy!
