DeSciNYC: How to create SUPERBABIES

​This talk will explore how we can use polygenic scores to select embryos in order to reduce disease risks and influence mental and physical traits. It will also address some of the moral and policy questions this technology raises, as well as how it might evolve and change the trajectory of human civilization.

Jonathan Anomaly was a professor at Duke and Penn for over a decade and now works with a stealth startup offering polygenic embryo screening. You can access a free version of his book, Creating Future People: The Science and Ethics of Genetic Enhancement, here.
