Designing Life: The Brave New World of Genome Editing
Vous êtes conviés à une table ronde animée par Paul Kennedy de l'émission Ideas de CBC sur les implications de la technologie CRISPR-Cas9, un outil de génie génétique à fort potentiel permettant de modifier plus facilement et plus précisément les séquences d’ADN. Si cela peut à terme permettre d'éliminer certaines maladies, certains problèmes éthiques surgissent. Veuillez prendre en note que la conférence sera enregistrée.

[En anglais seulement] The CRISPR-Cas9 method of genome editing has given researchers unprecedented power and ease in altering the building blocks of life. The uses of this technology for combatting disease appear obvious, but the implications of establishing control over the genome are also potentially staggering. A panel of expert observers will engage in a conversation about the meaning of this technology for all of us. The panel will be hosted by Paul Kennedy of CBC’s Ideas. Kindly note that this event will be recorded.
