This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian and ChatGPT step into the world of genetic engineering - from curing rare diseases to the controversial idea of “designer babies.”
We explore the science, the ethics, and the social dilemmas:
🧬 Could CRISPR really let parents choose traits like height, eye colour, or IQ?
💉 How is gene editing already being used to fight conditions like sickle cell anaemia?
⚖️ Where should we draw the line between treatment and enhancement?
From futuristic possibilities to corporate “arms races,” and even the role of AI in decoding our DNA, this conversation looks at how close we are to shaping humanity’s genetic future - for better or worse.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
