A new company called Preventive says it has secured $30 million to study how to safely create genetically edited babies. The research focuses on genome editing, in which the DNA of embryos would be modified. The proponents involved say it would prevent disease. But critics say there are doubts about the usefulness of this tech as a form of medicine. From an ethical side, there are also concerns about a possible spiral towards eugenics if parents can pick and choose traits. Kassandra and Daniel dig into the topic with Katie Hasson, from the Center for Genetics and Society. #dwbusiness #dwdip
