Interesting Conversations In English  ✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/conversations-in-english-15/

Today’s English language listening practice is all about science fiction made real. If you’ve ever watched any of the planet of the apes films, what you hear in this podcast will definitely make you think twice. Today’s conversation in English will contain a lot of useful vocabulary and hopefully keep you interested in the topic.

The  moral and ethical questions that the genetic science talked about in  today’s English lesson should keep people up at night. It's almost the  plot line for a horror movie, where someone innocently asks "What could possibly go wrong?"

Once  again, science is pushing way ahead of societal norms. I only came  across the research because of my interest in the human brain. Once I  started researching the topic for this podcast, I could not stop looking for more. It seems there is a lot of active research taking place.

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

⭐ Isaac Asimov, Scientist and Author

Most  people will hardly know what’s happening and most people are not being  asked if they are OK with what the scientists are doing. Just because  you can do something does not mean you should. The research I’ve found  is definitely not mainstream news.
