Episode 512: "The Future of Fertility"


Listen Later

In the late '90's, scientists cloned a sheep. Today they are creating multicellular organisms out of 1 celled organisms, and have figured out a way to take any cell in the body and make it into a 'gamete' cell that can create new life (in vitro gametogenesis). Sounds like what used to be called science fiction is turning into science fact, and although the concept is to 'revolutionize fertility', my concerns are the moral and ethical considerations of such experimentation.
