This talk will explore how we can use polygenic scores to select embryos in order to reduce disease risks & influence mental & physical traits. It will also address some of the moral & policy questions this technology raises, as well as how it might evolve & change the trajectory of human civilization.
Jonathan Anomaly was a professor at Duke & Penn for over a decade & now works with a stealth startup offering polygenic embryo screening. You can access a free version of his book, Creating Future People: The Science & Ethics of Genetic Enhancement, here.
