The downside is that this magnificent technology is not without sizable risks. On this episode, we’re joined by Amy Webb, CEO of The Future Today Institute and co-author of The Genesis Machine: Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology. Here, we discuss the pros and cons of synthetic biology — ways it might be used to eliminate (or create) new pandemics, how donor transplant lists for vital organs will be made obsolete as we print brand new supply on demand, the possibility of resurrecting extinct species or hacking Neanderthal DNA to make Homo sapiens more physically robust, how massive scaling of lab-grown meat can feed the world without the need for slaughtering animals and the resources necessary to sustain them, and much more.
