In the Christ and Culture podcast with Ken Keathley and Benjamin Quinn, we explore how the Christian faith intersects all avenues of today’s culture through conversations with leading thinkers.
Today’s Episode:
If you could edit your DNA, would you (or should you)? This question used to be the stuff of science fiction, but no longer. Genetic engineering is here. Dr. Jeff Hardin is a genetic engineer. We chat with him about where the science of genetic engineering is right now. What are the positives? What are the dangers? Should we concerned about the pairing of radical individualism and the increasing availability of this technology? (The conversation starts at 10:25)
PLUS, in “Headlines” (1:20), Dr. Anna Daub talks with Dr. Ken Keathley about the ‘Barbie’ movie. How does the gospel answer the questions it raises? And in “On My Bookshelf” (30:55), Dr. Daub recommends a book she’s reading right now.
