All living organisms execute the instructions written in their fundamental genetic code. Nature has invented ingenious mechanisms to replicate and modify that genetic blueprint—reproducing cells, evolving new species, even killing the original entity. Now that we, too, have the tools to rewrite that code, should we make ourselves smarter, stronger, and healthier? To learn more, Pioneer Works Director of Sciences Janna Levin hosted Nobel laureate David Baltimore and geneticist Feng Zhang to discuss the future of life and death, and the implications of genetic engineering.
