A film about one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of the 21st century: CRISPR, a technological revolution which gave people unprecedented control over the building blocks of life. CRISPR-CAS9, “gene-scissors” extracted from bacterial immune systems, allow people to do things previously thought impossible—to cure diseases, change the entire biosphere, and even design their own children. From this arise great ethical challenges. How will this new power change society and it`s relationship to nature?
A discussion with Sophia Guttenberger (Umweltinstitut München e.V.) will follow the screening.
The film will be shown in English with German subtitles, it is free and open to the public.
