Masada-klippan och den befästa fästningen där de judiska seloterna gjorde sitt sista motstånd mot Romarriket har en närmast mytologisk betydelse i dagens Israel. Fortfarande svär unga israeliska soldater sin trohet uppe på Masada – en plats som blivit en symbol för motstånd, offer och nationell identitet.Det judiska upproret, som inleddes år 66 e.Kr., blev en katastrof för det judiska folket. År 70 förstördes Jerusalem i grunden av romarna, och den sista fasen av upproret utspelade sig på Masada. Under åren 73–74 belägrades fästningen av den romerska armén i en militär operation som fortfarande imponerar historiker. Genom att anlägga en enorm ramp uppför berget och omringa platsen med ett system av läger och vallar tvingade romarna de judiska försvararna till ett sista desperat beslut.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden diskuterar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved den dramatiska slutstriden vid Masada. Belägringen är inte bara central i berättelsen om de judiska upproren, utan även ett unikt exempel på romersk belägringsteknik. Rester av romarnas anläggningar – vallarna, lägren och framför allt den väldiga rampen – finns ännu kvar och ger oss en sällsynt inblick i antikens krigskonst.Den mest omdiskuterade aspekten av Masada är berättelsen om det kollektiva självmord som enligt den judiske historikern Flavius Josefus ska ha ägt rum, där seloterna valde döden framför romerskt slaveri. Men hur pålitlig är denna källa? Moderna forskare menar att berättelsen måste tolkas med försiktighet – det finns inga oberoende bekräftelser på att självmordet faktiskt ägde rum.Konsekvenserna av de judiska upproren blev ödesdigra. Det judiska folket skingrades, och en lång exil inleddes. Först mot slutet av 1800-talet väcktes idén om en återkomst till det historiska hemlandet, och det var först år 1948 som staten Israel grundades. Masada lever kvar – som symbol och myt, men också som ett fysiskt monument över romersk krigföring och judiskt motstånd.Bildtext: Masada är en symbol för judiskt motstånd och är mest känd för det romerska belägringsdramat år 73 e.Kr.

Oft weht ein frischer Wind vom Atlantik die Loire entlang bis nach Nantes, daher macht man sich am besten im Zwiebellook auf die Entdeckung einer der spannendsten Städte Frankreichs. Denn nach dem Zusammenbruch der Werften und zuarbeitender Industrien musste sich Frankreichs heute sechstgrößte Stadt neu erfinden- das Rezept dafür: Kunst und Kultur. So verwandelt die Veranstaltungsreihe „Le Voyage à Nantes“ die Stadt jeden Sommer in eine bunte Open-Air-Galerie, viele von den Skulpturen und Installationen bleiben. Einer grünen Linie auf dem Boden folgt man von Kunstwerk zu Kunstwerk. So spaziert seit über 15 Jahren ein 12 Meter großer Elefant mit „Passagieren“ über das Gelände und in einer Halle können Besucher weitere Tiere wie einen gigantischen Reiher, einen Kolibri und eine Spinne bestaunen. Sie sind Teil eines neuen Projekts , des „Arbre Héron“, des „Reiherbaums“. Noch ist allerdings unklar, ob und wann das Ganze umgesetzt werden kann. Ein weiteres Projekt aber nimmt langsam konkretere Formen an- dem berühmtesten Sohn der Stadt, dem Schriftsteller Jules Verne, soll voraussichtlich 2028 ein neues großes Museum gewidmet werden. Fünf Stunden etwa dauert die Bahnreise von Nantes nach Lyon, der Hauptstadt der Region Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, die an den Flüssen Rhone und Saône liegt. 1998 erklärte die UNESCO große Teile des historischen Stadtzentrums zum Weltkulturerbe - auch weil in der Altstadt Vieux Lyon eine sehr homogene historische Bebauung erhalten ist. Mit der Standseilbahn kann man hinauf auf die Colline de la Fourvière fahren – oben wartet bei gutem Wetter eine fantastische Aussicht über die ganze Stadt. Wer es etwas ruhiger haben möchte, sollte einen Abstecher ins Viertel Croix-Rousse machen, auf den anderen Hügel in Lyon. Hier lebten und arbeiteten die Seidenweber seit dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert, im Museum „Maison des Canuts“ gibt es Vorführungen an alten Webstühlen. Ein paar U-Bahn-Stationen weiter können sich Film- und Kinointeressierte auf die Spuren der Brüder Lumière begeben- im Viertel Monplaisir ist in der einstigen Lumière-Villa ein Museum untergebracht. In dem unter anderem Kurzfilme aus dem endenden 19. Jahrhundert zu sehen sind- und natürlich der erste Lumière-Film von 1895: „La Sortie de l'Usine Lumière à Lyon“.

À l'heure où le changement climatique menace les récoltes et les ressources en eau, une jeune chercheuse africaine propose une solution concrète. À 30 ans, la Sénégalaise Aminata Sarr vient d'être distinguée par le Prix international L'Oréal-Unesco pour les femmes et la science, qui récompense chaque année 30 jeunes chercheuses africaines. Son innovation vise à produire davantage, avec moins d'eau et moins d'énergie — enjeu crucial pour les zones rurales du continent. RFI : quand est née votre passion pour les sciences ? Aminata Sarr : Cela a commencé dès le bas âge. J'ai toujours aimé tout ce qui est en rapport avec la nature. Même quand j'étais jeune, sur mon ordinateur, les images que je créais étaient toujours liées à la nature. Quand j'ai eu l'occasion de m'orienter vers la production végétale et agronomique, j'ai donc choisi d'aller à l'université pour étudier l'agriculture. Ensuite, j'ai poursuivi avec une thèse. J'ai commencé cette thèse au Burkina Faso, dans le domaine des énergies renouvelables. Je travaille actuellement sur la production agricole et énergétique, et sur l'efficience de l'utilisation des ressources en eau en agriculture. Beaucoup de femmes n'ont pas cette même opportunité. Êtes-vous bien vue par votre entourage ? C'est vrai que beaucoup de filles n'ont pas eu cette chance, surtout là d'où je viens. J'ai grandi à Saint-Louis, à Goxumbac, situé sur la Langue de Barbarie, une zone où vivent majoritairement des pêcheurs. Parfois, les filles ne vont pas à l'école ou alors, elles arrêtent très tôt. Moi, j'ai eu la chance d'avoir une famille qui m'a comprise. Il y avait ma maman, qui nous poussait à aller de l'avant, surtout dans les matières scientifiques. Il y avait aussi ma grande sœur, qui a commencé avant moi. Une fois à l'université, j'ai également rencontré un professeur qui m'a encouragée à aller de l'avant, notamment dans le domaine de la recherche. Aujourd'hui, je travaille sur les systèmes agrivoltaïques, qui permettent de faire de la production agricole et énergétique en même temps. Vous êtes citée en disant que la science peut créer un monde où les populations les plus défavorisées vivent dignement. Quelle solution avez-vous formulée pour contribuer à mettre fin à la faim en Afrique ? D'abord, il y a le système agrivoltaïque. C'est une technique qui permet à la fois la production agricole et énergétique sur une seule surface. Nous avons aussi constaté que, pour l'agriculture, il faut optimiser ces systèmes. Nous avons donc développé une méthode permettant de trouver la configuration qui maximise à la fois la production agricole et énergétique. Nous y avons également intégré un système d'irrigation automatisé, que nous avons développé pour assurer une utilisation plus efficace des ressources en eau. Vous parlez donc de panneaux solaires, de capteurs ? Oui. En ce qui concerne les ressources en eau, nous utilisons des capteurs connectés à des microcontrôleurs pour appliquer l'eau de manière automatique. Les quantités d'eau dont la plante a besoin sont ainsi appliquées automatiquement, sans intervention de l'agriculteur. À lire aussiQuatorze scientifiques africaines honorées par la fondation l'Oréal-Unesco   Les agriculteurs savent donc quand irriguer, combien d'eau utiliser et comment économiser l'eau ? Effectivement. Le système permet d'appliquer automatiquement la quantité d'eau dont la plante a besoin, uniquement au moment nécessaire. Seule la quantité strictement nécessaire est utilisée. Comment cette solution peut-elle concrètement contribuer à réduire la faim en Afrique ? Pour faire de l'agriculture, on a besoin d'eau, et les ressources en eau diminuent de plus en plus. Quand elles diminuent, la production agricole est en danger. Il y a donc un risque de baisse de la production. L'eau doit être utilisée de manière durable. Pour lever ces contraintes liées à l'accès à l'eau, nous avons travaillé sur la mise en place de systèmes d'irrigation automatisés afin de renforcer la production agricole et de faire face aux effets du changement climatique et à la surexploitation des ressources en eau. En milieu rural, les producteurs n'ont pas toujours une idée précise de la quantité d'eau à appliquer, ce qui peut conduire à une surexploitation. Ces systèmes permettent donc une utilisation plus durable de l'eau, et donc une agriculture plus durable. Quand vous dites que la science peut sortir les gens de la pauvreté, à qui pensez-vous en particulier ? A des familles, à des agriculteurs que vous avez rencontrés ? Je pense notamment aux populations en milieu rural. Les producteurs y tirent l'essentiel de leurs revenus de l'agriculture. La question est donc de savoir comment aider ces populations qui sont dans le besoin. C'est dans ce sens que je dis que la science peut permettre d'améliorer les conditions de vie des populations les plus défavorisées. Et, juste pour revenir sur votre prix, il s'accompagne d'une enveloppe de 10 000 euros. Quel usage comptez-vous faire de cet argent ? Cet argent sera utilisé pour vulgariser les résultats que nous avons obtenus, notamment à travers la participation à des conférences et la publication d'articles scientifiques. L'objectif est de permettre aux populations d'avoir accès à la méthode que nous avons développée. Quel message souhaitez-vous adresser aux jeunes filles africaines qui rêvent elles aussi de faire de la science, mais n'osent pas encore ? Que pouvez-vous leur dire pour les encourager ? Je veux leur dire que les femmes ont toute leur place dans la science. Elles peuvent rencontrer des contraintes et des difficultés, mais elles doivent croire en elles. Elles doivent toujours se forcer à aller de l'avant, à travailler encore davantage pour aller de l'avant.

Seimui patvirtinus 2026 metų biudžetą, traukiasi finansavimas įvairioms kultūros institucijoms. Kokie bus 2026-ieji kultūrai, sumažėjus finansavimui?Šią savaitę paskelbti Lietuvos nacionalinės kultūros meno premijų laureatai. Pasak eksperčių Lolitos Jablonskienės ir Eglės Kačkutės, šių metų sąrašas – išskirtinai subalansuotas.Lietuvoje savo poziciją jau įtvirtino „Jaunojo tapytojo prizas“, galbūt nuo šiol kasmet sulauksime ir „Vidurio amžiaus tapytojo prizo“ laureato. Pirmą kartą surengtas konkursas siekia atkreipti dėmesį į sovietmečiu ar ankstyvuoju posovietiniu laikotarpiu augusios ir besiformavusios tapytojų kartos kūrybą ir šių menininkų patiriamus iššūkius.Italijos nacionalinė virtuvė įtraukta į UNESCO nematerialaus paveldo sąrašą. Apie šio pripažinimo reikšmę bei kokią vietą italų gyvenime užima maistas – pokalbis su Italijos Respublikos ambasadoriumi Lietuvoje Emanuele de Maigret.„Istoriją visgi rašo nugalėtojai, didvyriai, tik išskirtiniais atvejais didmoterės“, – komentare sako poetė, muziejininkė Renata Karvelis.Būti geru kuratoriumi – tai turėti daug priešų, įsitikinęs architektas, profesorius, kritikas Pippo Ciorra. Šiuolaikinio meno muziejuje MAXXI Romoje dirbantis italas gerai pažįsta Lietuvos meno ir kultūros lauką, o šį rudenį Kaune lankėsi Nacionalinio architektūros instituto kvietimu. Dvi panašaus profilio įstaigos tampa partnerėmis. Ką tai reiškia Kaunui ir Lietuvai?„Anksčiau bijodavau, nes galvodavau – jei kito žino, kad tave išprievartavo, tampi pažymėta.

Hace más de un siglo, los argentinos comenzaron a explotar las minas de carbón de la región de Ischigualasto, una zona desértica del oeste del país, situada entre las estribaciones de los Andes y las Sierras Pampeanas, en la frontera entre las provincias de San Juan y La Rioja. A partir de una publicación del Automóvil Club Argentino en 1943 el lugar empezó a ser conocido con el nombre de Valle de la Luna, debido a las caprichosas formaciones geológicas que lo jalonan. Hoy en día, los yacimientos paleontológicos de la Cuenca de Ischigualasto-Villa Unión se extienden por dos espacios protegidos contiguos, el Parque Nacional Talampaya, en La Rioja, y el Parque Natural Provincial Ischigualasto en la provincia de San Juan. Ambos parques han sido declarados Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO por la importancia científica de sus yacimientos, en los que se puede estudiar el origen de los dinosaurios y de los mamíferos.

Que devient le droit à l'éducation quand 272 millions d'enfants quittent l'école trop tôt ? Quand 240 millions d'élèves voient leur apprentissage interrompu par des catastrophes climatiques ? Quand l'intelligence artificielle transforme le travail plus vite que les systèmes éducatifs ne s'adaptent ?À l'occasion du 65ᵉ anniversaire de la Convention contre la discrimination dans l'éducation, l'UNESCO publie un nouveau rapport qui appelle à repenser le cadre juridique du droit à l'éducation.« Il ne s'agit pas uniquement d'accéder, mais aussi de réussir et d'apprendre », explique Borhene Chakroun, directeur de la division de l'apprentissage tout au long de la vie à l'UNESCO, dans un entretien accordé à ONU Info.Comment mieux protéger les plus vulnérables ? Comment préparer enseignants et sociétés à des crises plus fréquentes ? Comment garantir une IA réellement responsable et centrée sur l'humain ? Et surtout, que risque-t-on si rien ne change ?

A instabilidade volta a marcar a actualidade na Guiné-Bissau, onde o Procurador Geral da República do governo de transição declarou "nulas" as eleições de 23 de Novembro e a família de Domingos Simões Pereira exige uma prova de vida do líder político detido pelos militares. Em Cabo Verde, as autoridades estão a formar profissionais do turismo para prevenir casos de exploração sexual de menores. Já São Tomé e Príncipe celebra a inscrição do Tchiloli como Património Cultural Imaterial da Humanidade pela UNESCO. Na Guiné-Bissau, o  Procurador-Geral da República do governo de transição declarou “nulas” as eleições presidenciais de 23 de Novembro. Amadú Tidjane Baldé, que se reuniu na quinta-feira, 11 de Dezembro, com representantes da Comissão Nacional de Eleições (CNE), afirmou que não existem “condições técnicas” para concluir o processo eleitoral, alegando faltar elementos essenciais para a reconstituição dos resultados. A decisão surge num momento em que a candidatura de Fernando Dias, que reivindica vitória nas presidenciais, pressiona a CNE para convocar uma reunião plenária e oficializar os resultados “o mais rápido possível”. A disputa pelo controlo do processo eleitoral agrava o clima de incerteza no país, desde que os militares assumiram o poder a 26 de Novembro. Junta militar procura legitimidade externa Esta semana, a junta militar que tomou o poder no país reuniu-se com organizações internacionais para discutir a crise e solicitar apoio externo. Os militares garantiram que pretendem libertar a Guiné-Bissau da influência do narcotráfico, um argumento que não convence as organizações da sociedade civil. Para Vigário Luís Balanta, secretário-geral do Movimento Cívico Pó di Terra, a narrativa da junta militar carece de credibilidade. Balanta reforça que o narcotráfico é “o principal factor de instabilidade” no país e que somente com apoio internacional será possível combater um fenómeno que, segundo afirma, tem capturado o regime e destruído a democracia guineense. Organizações de direitos humanos exigem libertação de presos políticos A Liga Guineense dos Direitos Humanos lançou uma campanha para exigir a libertação dos presos políticos detidos após a tomada de poder pelos militares. Entre os casos mais preocupantes está o de Domingos Simões Pereira, líder do PAIGC, detido numa esquadra de Bissau. A família afirma não ter qualquer contacto com o político há “pelo menos 15 dias”. Em declarações à agência Lusa, a filha, Denisa Pereira, revelou que os familiares “temem pela vida” de Simões Pereira e exigem uma “prova de vida”. CEDEAO analisa crise na Guiné-Bissau A instabilidade guineense será discutida este domingo numa cimeira extraordinária da CEDEAO, a realizar-se em Abuja. No entanto, a antiga diplomata portuguesa e ex-candidata presidencial Ana Gomes mostra-se céptica quanto à capacidade da organização regional intervir de forma eficaz na resolução da crise política na Guiné-Bissau. Cabo Verde reforça combate ao abuso sexual no turismo Noutro ponto da região, o Instituto Cabo-verdiano da Criança e do Adolescente (ICCA) iniciou acções de formação dirigidas a profissionais do sector turístico. O objectivo é capacitá-los para identificar, prevenir e actuar perante casos de abuso ou exploração sexual de crianças e adolescentes no contexto de viagens e turismo - um problema crescente associado ao fluxo internacional de visitantes. Tchiloli de São Tomé e Príncipe torna-se Património Cultural Imaterial da Humanidade Num raro ponto positivo para a África lusófona, a UNESCO reconheceu oficialmente o Tchiloli, tradicional teatro são-tomense, como Património Cultural Imaterial da Humanidade. A inscrição ocorreu durante a 20.ª Sessão do Comité Intergovernamental para a Salvaguarda do Património Cultural Imaterial, que decorre em Nova Deli, Índia, e encerra este sábado, 13 de Dezembro. O reconhecimento internacional representa um marco para a cultura de São Tomé e Príncipe, garantindo maior visibilidade e protecção a uma expressão artística única que combina teatro, música, dança e narrativa histórica.

The Trump administration is ramping up its efforts to derail the government of President Nicolas Maduro, which he has accused of turning Venezuela into a "drug-running regime". The leader of the country's opposition, Maria Corina Machado, travelled to Norway in secret to collect her Nobel Peace Prize. We ask if her influence could wane now that she is out of the country. Also in the programme: intense rain is wreaking havoc on thousands of Gazans living in displacement camps; and UNESCO declares Swiss yodelling a form of Intangible Cultural Heritage.(Photo: Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado attends the opening of the official Peace Prize exhibition at the Nobel Peace Center, in Oslo.

Italian cuisine gained a new honor this week when it became the first gastronomic style to be recognized as “intangible cultural heritage” by UNESCO, the United Nation's cultural body.

María Corina Machado se encuentra en Noruega para recibir el Premio Nobel de la Paz 2025 y se espera que se reúna con el primer ministro, después de que su hija recogiera el premio en su nombre, ya que el gobierno de Maduro le prohibía la salida de Venezuela. La patronal propone subir el salario mínimo a 1200 euros brutos al mes en 14 pagas, una oferta que Comisiones Obreras califica de ridícula, mientras los sindicatos piden 1273 euros, argumentando las empresas que el salario mínimo ya alcanza el objetivo del 60% del salario medio.

La Fed taglia i tassi di interesse per la terza volta nel corso del 2025: il costo del denaro scende di un quarto di punto in una forchetta fra il 3,50% e il 3,75%, ai minimi degli ultimi tre anni. Per il 2026 la banca centrale stima solo una riduzione dei tassi di 25 punti base, in deciso rallentamento rispetto agli ultimi anni. Da quando ha avviato il suo ciclo di tagli nel settembre 2024, la Fed ha ridotto il costo denaro sei volte (la prima è stato un maxi taglio da mezzo punti, tutte le successive da 25 punti base). Il commento di Donato Masciandaro, docente politiche monetarie università Bocconi, editorialista Il Sole 24 Ore.Manovra, tassa su tutti i pacchi e tobin tax al raddoppioIl contributo di 2 euro per le microspedizioni riguarderà tutti i pacchi, anche quelli che partono e arrivano in Italia perché una richiesta riservata ai soli arrivi extra Ue si tradurrebbe nei fatti in un dazio, all'interno delle politiche doganali che sono di competenza esclusiva dell'Unione europea. Il raddoppio della Tobin Tax, dal 2 per mille attuale al 4 per mille sui mercati non regolamentati e dall'1 al 2 per mille su quelli regolamentati, dovrebbe essere immediato, dal 2026, senza il percorso progressivo triennale ipotizzato dagli emendamenti di Fratelli d'Italia. La struttura attuale della tassazione sulle transazioni finanziarie porta nelle casse dello Stato 546 milioni l'anno secondo il bollettino statistico del Dipartimento delle Finanze: un raddoppio secco potrebbe dunque portare coperture ulteriori alla manovra per circa 1,5 miliardi di euro in tre anni producendo dunque circa il 60% dei fondi che servono.L'intervento di Gianni Trovati, Il Sole 24 ore.Confagricoltura: più fondi in manovra per rilanciare il settoreAll'assemblea annuale di Confagricoltura, Tenutasi ieri a Roma, nel giorno in cui arriva l'annuncio ufficiale della cucina italiana Patrimonio Unesco, il presidente Massimiliano Giansanti celebra un riconoscimento definito «atteso ma non scontato» e lo attribuisce anche agli agricoltori che garantiscono la produzione primaria. Il traguardo Unesco, accolto al Teatro Argentina, diventa però il punto di partenza per una richiesta politica forte: Giansanti chiede all'Europa una visione nuova, capace di proteggere le produzioni agricole con una politica agricola comune adeguata ai tempi, in grado di garantire stabilità economica, sicurezza alimentare e reddito alle imprese. L'appello è netto: «All'Europa non chiediamo solo regole, chiediamo una visione che unisca sostenibilità e reddito, sicurezza alimentare e transizione energetica, innovazione e lavoro di qualità», e che coinvolga agricoltori, finanza, energia, previdenza, assicurazioni, lavoro e ambiente in una «alleanza nuova».Il commento di Massimiliano Giansanti Presidente Confagricoltura.

Urpferdchen, Schildkröte, Krokodil - Fast 50 Millionen Jahre alt sind die Fundstücke, die in der Grube Messel bei Darmstadt seit 50 Jahren ans Licht gebracht werden, Zeugnisse des Lebens einer längst vergangenen Zeit. Vor 150 Jahren wurde diese einzigartige Fundstätte entdeckt, und seit nunmehr 30 Jahren gehört die Grube Messel zum Weltnaturerbe der UNESCO. Dieses mehrfache Jubiläum wird nun gefeiert, und das Frankfurter Senckenberg-Museum hat zu diesem Anlass eine neue Ausstellung konzipiert. Was verraten uns die Fossilien aus dem ehemaligen Vulkansee über Evolution, Landschaft und Klima? Was können wir aus dem Eozän für heute und morgen lernen? Und was überhaupt bringt der Status Welterbe? Darüber spricht Karen Fuhrmann mit Philipe Havlik, Geschäftsführer der „Welterbe Grube Messel gGmbH“, Bernd Herkner, Paläontologe und Direktor des Naturhistorischen Museums Mainz, Manuel Schweiger, Leiter des Nationalparks Kellerwald-Edersee und Maria Böhmer, Präsidentin der deutschen UNESCO-Kommission.

When President Trump signed the bill to reopen the government on November 12, he also enacted a law that will—unless changed within a year—effectively ban hemp-derived THC beverages and other products nationwide. Virtually overnight, the government had moved to close the book on a broadly popular industry worth an estimated $30 billion—even as adults in many states can, for now, still legally shop for their hemp beverages alongside beer and wine. As President and Founder of the Hemp Beverage Alliance, Christopher Lackner represents brewers, distributors, retailers, can manufacturers, and others who have a stake in these drinks that have become increasingly mainstream. His focus now is on lobbying for any outcome that can keep this new industry on its feet, grounded in sensible regulations and responsible business practices. In this episode, Lackner and host Jamie Bogner discuss: how the 2018 Farm Bill loophole led to a lucrative, popular industry that became “no big deal” why sensible limits on THC in beverages—perhaps 10 milligrams per 12 ounces—may be a way forward why hemp beverages don't belong in marijuana dispensaries the need for rules that keep out bad actors why skeptics of hemp-derived THC products should pay a visit to Minnesota how an all-you-can-drink hemp-beverage fest became the chillest affair ever what brewers and consumers who support hemp beverages should be doing now And more.

Most parents know what goes into raising children: the time spent changing diapers in inopportune places; the hours of worrying—about what to feed them, how to educate them, how to protect them and keep them healthy; the countless hours devoted to dance classes, summer camps, pediatricians, and piano lessons—all investments meant to give them the best chance in life. Most of us would do anything to help our kids become the most successful and happiest versions of themselves. But what if we could start earlier? At the molecular level. What if we could ensure our babies were healthier, smarter, and stronger, before they even took their first breath? Right now, several biotech companies are doing just that. They offer embryo screening for couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). These companies don't just score embryos for disease risk, which has become standard practice for anyone undergoing IVF—they go further. Nucleus Genomics promises “optimization” of traits like heart health and cancer resistance, as well as intelligence, longevity, body mass index, baldness, eye color, hair color, etc. It even suggests it may predict a predisposition to become an alcoholic. In the future, we may be able to more than just screen and select. We'll be able to make tweaks to our own embryos in order to “optimize” them. This isn't something out of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. It's the very real, and near, future. Some would argue it's already here. It all creates profound and critical questions. So we hosted a debate: Is it ethical to design our unborn children? And are we morally obligated to do so when the risks of abstaining include serious diseases? Or does designing babies cross a line? Is it wrong to play God and manipulate humanity's genetic heritage? Arguing that designing babies is not only an ethical choice, but indeed a moral imperative, are Jamie Metzl and Dr. Allyson Berent. Jamie is a technology and healthcare futurist, who was a member of the World Health Organization Expert Advisory Committee on Human Genome Editing. He's also written several best-selling books on this subject, including Hacking Darwin: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humanity. Allyson is a veterinarian who has become an incredible force for genetic research since her daughter, Quincy, was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome. She serves as chief science officer of the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics and chief development officer at a biotechnology company, where she helps accelerate gene therapy programs for Angelman syndrome. Arguing that designing babies is unethical are O. Carter Snead and Dr. Lydia Dugdale. Carter is a bioethicist and law professor at Notre Dame. He served as general counsel to the President's Council on Bioethics under George W. Bush and as an appointed member of UNESCO's International Bioethics Committee. He is also an appointed member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, which advises the pope on bioethics. Lydia is a physician, medical ethicist, and professor of medicine at Columbia University, where she serves as director of the Center for Clinical Medical Ethics. She is also Co-Director of Clinical Ethics at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center. It's a critical debate you won't want to miss.  The Free Press is honored to have partnered with the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression to present this debate.
