A few years ago a new technology is born: Genetic therapy. A revoultionary technology that can edit DNA with incredible precision. Now a question we’ve been asking for decades is becoming very real. If humans had the technology to control the source code of life, what happens when we turn it on ourselves? Once we sart tinkering, where do we stop? And that’s where things get complicated. This technology is crucial to finding cures for countless diseases. Is this the way we want to nurture the next generation of children? This makes man his own god.
