Directed by Cody Sheehy and produced by Samira Kiani, MAKE PEOPLE BETTER tells the story of Dr. He Jiankui, a Chinese geneticist who made waves by producing the world’s first genetically-edited babies in 2018. Although Dr. He’s work was feted at first by the Chinese government, the ensuing pandemonium over the ethical implications of his work quickly led to his disappearance. As the scientific community grapples with his boundary-breaking work, so too must they ask themselves whether or not there is a cost to their desire to make people better. In this 1on1, we speak to Sheehy and Kiani about the boundaries between science and ethics and changing public opinion.
