CRISPR and the Narrowing Neurotypical Range

Atul Gawande discusses the potential dangers of CRISPR, emphasizing that the real concern lies in the larger culture it becomes a part of. He highlights the unique insights and capabilities of George Church, a genomics pioneer with narcolepsy, and how we are narrowing the neurotypical range in various ways. Gawande explains that CRISPR's multigene nature makes it challenging to selectively choose certain capabilities, as they are often the result of interactions among many genes.
