Unnatural Selection background

Unnatural Selection

DNA, the fundamental building block of life, is now amenable to alteration through various means including research conducted by Harvard geneticists, major corporations, and independent biohacking enthusiasts operating in their garages.

New advancements in gene-editing technology are poised to usher in a technological revolution that could radically alter humanity's future. From eradicating diseases to selecting desirable traits and biohacking, there is intense debate about the moral, social, and environmental implications of these groundbreaking experiments. In this provocative four-part limited series, UNNATURAL SELECTION explores how science meets ethics as it travels from Mississippi to Italy, New Zealand, Burkina Faso, Ukraine, and beyond, meeting innovators, critics, ethicists, and beneficiaries who are racing to harness the power of these technologies for good or ill.
