The ethical dilemma of designer babies | Paul Knoepfler

Creating genetically modified people is no longer a science fiction fantasy; it's a likely future scenario.

In this thought-provoking talk, Knoepfler readies us for the coming designer baby revolution and its very personal, and unforeseeable, consequences.
