Content Note: On this episode we talk about population level genetic engineering, an idea that has an extremely fraught history, including some horrific detours into forced sterilization and Eugenics.
While we try to keep things light on this podcast, we fully understand that these topics can be sensitive. We hope that this episode tackles the topic with nuance and clarity, and welcome your thoughts.
We also understand if some people might want to skip this one. While we only touch upon the darker aspects of genetic manipulation in passing, it still might be uncomfortable territory for some.
