On the inaugural edition of OPEN for DEBATE on PBS39 Lafayette students ask how a scientific breakthrough called CRISPR-cas9 can change the future. From super foods to super humans, the 30-minute broadcast explores the applications and consequences of editing human genes. This edition, called "Editing Life," features an exclusive interview with UC Berkeley scientist Dr. Jennifer Doudna who discusses her co-discovery of this world-changing genetic technology. Distinguished experts in bioethics, health insurance, public policy, intellectual property, and business explore the implications and applications of CRISPR-cas9.
