    BioTalk20: GMO Babies and the 2016 Election

    The first GMO baby was born this year using the "3-parent IVF" method called "maternal spindle transfer". If not for the Aderholt amendment to the 2015 omnibus spending bill, which prohibits the Food and Drug Administration from entertaining any submission that proposes "research in which a human embryo is intentionally created or modified to include heritable genetic modification", that baby would have likely been manufactured in the United States. Let's keep human genetic experimentation out of our country!

    BioTalk16: Genetic Enhancements, A "Biological Arms Race" That No One Can Win

    Last year the UK became the first in the world to offer controversial 'three-parent' fertility treatments. This year they approved the use of CRISPR to edit genomes of human embryos. In the latest episode of BioTalk, we discuss how scientists and governments have re-engineered language to sell the public on embryo-re-engineering (http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/scientists-governments-re-engineer-language-to-sell-public-on-embryo-re-eng/). We also look at the long-term implications of genetic enhancement. Specifically, how enhancement leads to coercion and the loss of human dignity (http://www.catholiclane.com/the-seductive-siren-song-of-genetic-enhancement/).

    BioTalk13: Aborted Fetal Body Parts in Scientific Research

    Speaking with chemistry and physics instructor, Dr. Stacy Trasancos. Stacy reminds us that it really doesn't take any undercover investigating to find proof that abortion providers have been supplying scientists with aborted fetal body parts — sometimes even whole, intact, live fetuses — for research, much of which, like Planned Parenthood, receives funding from the Federal Government. This information is and has been widely available in scientific literature dating back decades.
