Video Description

Gene-editing with CRISPR is changing how we define ourselves as humans. It’s not only changing our agricultural and medical industries, but also our literal genus - can we really call ourselves ‘homosapiens’ if we have, (in our DNA), genetically modified our strength, speed, and intelligence? Well, some still might, because CRISPR could be leading us to a class divide, based on who has the access to edit themselves and the rest of society.
