Many bioethical dilemmas face us today. 24 years after the critically acclaimed, dystopian classic, Gattaca, we now have the ability to see and experiment with the human genome. It’s not whether or not parents should be able to cherry-pick a child’s looks, health, or intelligence, we're already there. The real question is... what happens if we create a designer race? If you've never heard of CRISPR, listen closely. CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: It's a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell. After that, the next step in CRISPR gene editing is usually to alter that piece of DNA. But then what? Is evolution under attack, or is this simply a different version? Dr. Arthur L. Caplan is a Professor of Bioethics at New York University Langone Medical Center and the founding director of the Division of Medical Ethics.

Will rich people be able to buy a coronavirus vaccine before everyone else? Should we pay people to be part of clinical trials? Is a market for vaccine vouchers a terrible idea? On this episode, we tackle the complex questions around developing and distributing a coronavirus vaccine in a capitalist system. And to get some help with the answers, Luigi and Bethany speak with medical ethicist, Dr. Arthur L. Caplan, from the NYU School of Medicine.

In this episode, I speak with Professor Arthur L. Caplan, the Drs. William F and Virginia Connolly Mitty Professor at the NYU School of Medicine in New York City and the founding head of NYU’s Division of Medical Ethics. We talk about brain death, moral worth, the ethics of the non-human, and the concept of the "self" as humans increasingly turn our bodies and biology over to technological interventions. Dr. Caplan discusses medical privacy as the right to know becomes increasingly in tension with the right to privacy, how the practice of medicine interacts with humanist practices, and what is keeping him up at night.
