We talked a little about CRISPR technology in class today. Here’s an interesting episode of the podcast Radiolab that explains CRISPR, its potential uses, and ethical concerns surrounding its use: http://www.radiolab.org/story/antibodies-part-1-crispr/
Here’s an approximate breakdown of when various topics are discussed:
0:00 – 12:00 ← discovery and origins of CRISPR (including fun sound effects and a no-prior-knowledge-required explanation of its function)
12:00 – 14:00 ←how CRISPR can be used in people
20:00 – end ← ethics of gene editing

Re: CRISPR Gene Editing Podcast
Thanks for posting this!
The journal Nature recently wrote an article entitled CRISPR, the disruptor (PDF version), which addresses ethical issues, etc. I'd never heard of it before.
