Journalist Stephen S. Hall discusses his cover story in Wired Magazine, “The Mutant Future of Food,” (online as "CRISPR Can Speed Up Nature--And Change How We Grow Food"). Hall breaks down the cutting-edge gene editing technology called CRISPR and how it’s being studied and applied to fruits and vegetables, giving them qualities like being high yield, herbicide resistant, and having a flawless appearance. Hall is joined by bioethicist Jackie Leach-Scully of Newcastle University and the Nuffield Council on Bioethics. Leach-Scully explains the current legal status of gene editing in humans and the ethical implications of what this technology could mean for the future of our species.  This segment is guest hosted by Beth Fertig.
