March 14, 2018 Planet Vision: A Collaborative Way to Address The Health of Our Planet
Bringing people together to care for our planet and ourselves, without the baggage of politics or animosity is the goal of Planet Vision, launched by the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Executive Director Dr. Jonathon Foley explains to Jane McMillan how addressing how we use water, energy and food in our everyday lives could get to, and solve, the root causes of 80 percent of what imperils our natural world. Easy to implement in our own lives, and an invitation to be on a team with solutions as its goal, Planet Vision can be found at planetvision.org and through calacademy.org.

March 14, 2018 Babies of Technology
At least two bio tech firms are asking the FDA for permission to test CRISPR gene editing technology on humans as disease treatment, as early as this year. And, it was only this past summer that CRISPR gene editing was first tried on live human human embryo cells in the U.S., none of which was ever intended for implantation. But, the fast advancement of this medical technology has some concerned about a lack of standardized controls, especially in the area of so-called designer babies. Multiple parent surrogacy is already putting this issue front and center, and the rights of the children of these reproductive technologies is the subject of the book Babies of Technology. Jane McMillan is joined by its author, Dr. Mary Ann Mason, UC Berkeley Professor.
