We are delighted to welcome you to our next scientific series event which is taking place on Thursday 7th March 2024 at 8:30pm on zoom. No scientific knowledge needed!
Modern genetic engineering (called CRISPR) is now a reality and is being used in patients to correct faulty genes. This discovery has the potential to transform our healthcare, but is this a step too far? Is this the future or the start of an ethical slippery slope? How far should we go to alter our genes and what is the Jewish view on such Technologies?
