Episode description

Recent breakthroughs in science and medicine have demonstrated that we may be much closer to being able to artificially grow and replace human organs than ever before. 


But, those developments are also challenging long established ethical guidelines around the use of embryos, or embryo-like cells.


Today, science writer and contributor to The Monthly Elizabeth Finkel on the latest scientific breakthroughs, and the argument that our ethics need to evolve alongside our knowledge of the world.

 

Guest: Science writer and contributor to The Monthly Elizabeth Finke.
