Ghazi and Will take this episode to drill down into a subject that has taken Will a little by surprise. 

We look into genetic modification and get to grips with just how far we’ve come in a short space of time. Surrounded by controversy and moral dilemma should us as humans have the power to rewrite the genetic make up of the organic matter that makes the natural world, should we be allowed to play God?

Modifying dogs, mice and making monkeys glow seems like pointless mischief when the broader aspects consider 30% lengthening of life, bringing back sight and the growth of back up organs.

All these options considered with the positive and negative connotations that come along with these changes, we must ask where is the line drawn, who draws it? We must ask about benefits of rectifying faulty genes and enhancement of fully functioning ones, is re-writing the book of life really the right thing to do?
