Recent advances in genetics, reproductive technologies, data analysis and artificial intelligence allow us to treat and cure hereditary disease and solve many biological problems.
This class is based on Jamie Metzl's book (same name) that describes an exhilarating but frightening future involving screening, altering and writing genetic code, which is driven by competition and parent's instinct to give their children every advantage.
The class will address the science, his predictions and alternative visions. Bryan McKersie leads this study group that meets Mondays beginning January 17 through February 7.
Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.
