Really enjoyed @mjflepage and the podcast team discussing the latest gene editing controversy on @NewScientistPod this week. Listen to the end! @newscientist @rowhoop @PennySarchet

@mjflepage says a controversial paper published in Nature has been widely criticised after showing how powerful this technology could be in creating disease-resistant humans.
