Lab-Made Humans? Three-Parent Embryos, Genetic Engineering, and the Future of Humanity with Dr. David Prentice
Originally published at Bioethics BabeWhat happens when science gains the power not only to heal human life, but to redesign it?
Scientists are now creating lab-made embryos from stem cells, experimenting with three-parent embryos, pursuing gene editing technologies like CRISPR, and exploring ways to grow human life outside the womb. What once sounded like science fiction is rapidly becoming reality.
In this episode of Bioethics Babe, internationally recognized stem cell researcher and bioethics expert Dr. David Prentice of the Science Alliance for Life and Technology (SALT) exposes the ethical dangers behind lab-made embryos, designer babies, germline gene editing, fetal tissue research, embryo selection, IVF commodification, and modern eugenics.
We discuss:
- Lab-made embryos
- Three-parent embryos and genetic engineering
- CRISPR and heritable gene editing
- Designer babies and embryo selection
- Stem cell research myths and realities
- Human fetal tissue research
- Artificial wombs and the future of reproduction
- Modern eugenics and prenatal screening
- Human dignity, bioethics, and the future of humanity
At what point does medicine stop treating disease and start redefining what kinds of humans are acceptable?
