CrowdScience

World Service, 8.30pm

How is gene editing being

used and what might be

possible in the future,

wonders one CrowdScience

listener, and the presenter

Caroline Steel tries to find the

answers. In this programme,

subtitled How Far Could Gene

Editing Go?, we learn about

new gene-editing tools and

huge opportunities for the

prevention and treatment

of human diseases, with

trials under way on a wide

range of diseases, including

sickle-cell anaemia. But will

we be able to extend human

longevity, swap our eye

colour or enhance athletic

performance? And even if we

can do all these things, should

we? Ben Dowell
