Will we control our own biological future through genetic modification?
In short: As the human species continues to evolve, we face a pivotal choice. This video explores the three potential paths for our future and the ethical implications of directing our own evolution.
Medical ethicist Harvey Fineberg examines the possibility of neo-evolution, a state where human evolution is no longer left to chance. He outlines three distinct trajectories: a complete cessation of evolution, continued natural evolution, or the intentional use of genetic modification to enhance human intelligence, speed, and physical capability.
