In this weeks episode, Shelby & Charlie discuss an incredibly ethically and morally charged topic, CRISPR. CRISPR, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, is a "technology" of sorts that allows researchers, scientists, or even the average person to alter and edit their genetic coding. Focusing mostly on the Netflix docu-series, Unnatural Selection, join us as we discuss some experiments that have been done with CRISPR, what's been successful, what fell short, some controversial actions taken by people, and even some conspiracy.Sources:https://www.addgene.org/crispr/history/#:~:text=CRISPR%20(Clustered%20Regularly%20Interspaced%20Short,was%20not%20elucidated%20until%202007.https://www.yourgenome.org/facts/what-is-crispr-cas9https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/genomicresearch/genomeeditinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ1o7N0lKHohttps://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/10/22/20921302/netflix-unnatural-selection-biohacking-crispr-gene-editinghttps://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/oct/17/unnatural-selection-netflix-docuseries-gene-editinghttps://medium.com/neodotlife/david-ishee-crispr-dogs-dalmatians-d24a48d5d874https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/5/19/18629771/biohacking-josiah-zayner-genetic-engineering-crisprhttps://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/02/biohacking-stunts-crispr/553511/https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniemlee/this-biohacker-wants-to-edit-his-own-dna#.evELlvD9phttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josiah_Zaynerhttps://www.wired.com/beyond-the-beyond/2019/08/josiah-zayner-annoys-entire-state-california/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-15/biohacker-investigation-is-dropped-by-california-medical-boardhttps://www.technologyreview.com/2018/11/25/138962/exclusive-chinese-scientists-are-creating-crispr-babies/https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/12/chinese-scientist-who-produced-genetically-altered-babies-sentenced-3-years-jailhttps://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/first-humanmonkey-chimeras-developed-in-china--66231https://sciencenordic.com/denmark-ethics-researcher-zone/genome-editing-are-we-opening-a-back-door-to-eugenics/1451075http://www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/pdf-files/faculty/pollack/2015%20CUTTING%20EUGENICS%20OUR%20OF%20CRISPR.pdfhttps://www.bionews.org.uk/page_137952https://www.livescience.com/58790-crispr-explained.html#:~:text=CRISPR%20technology%20is%20a%20simple,of%20diseases%20and%20improving%20crops.https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/02/crispr-offshoot-still-makes-mistakes-editing-dna-raising-concerns-about-its-medical-use#
