002: Fearfully and Wonderfully...Engineered?

Listen Later

A discussion on the present and future use of gene editing therapies. Where can this development in medical science take us and where should we draw the line? What’s being done with this research now? How does our Christian perspective give us insight into these challenges?

Also, apologies for some audio issues in this episode. I wasn’t able to clean it all up, but the problem is solved by the next episode.
