Is this the end of sex?

Sep 11, 2016


Advances in in vitro fertilization, big data analysis, genetic screening and precision gene editing are likely to radically transform how humans reproduce in the coming years.

The assisted reproduction revolution has the potential to eliminate genetic diseases and help our children live longer, healthier, more robust lives but also raises fundamental existential and ethical questions. Science fiction writer and futurist Jamie Metzl explores today’s cutting edge science and the future of assisted reproduction with some of the world’s leading experts: Progyny CEO Gina Bartasi, fertility specialist Dr. Serena Chen and Stanford law professor and bioethicist Hank Greely.
