CRISPR, Cancer & Creating Life: Are We Playing God? Prof. Keith Fox vs Dr. Sam McKee

Should humanity be reprogramming the building blocks of life? What ethical and theological questions emerge when we begin to design artificial organisms? In this episode of Unbelievable?, we dive into the fascinating realm of synthetic biology - from engineering microbes that could help us colonise Mars, to the profound moral and spiritual debates about whether science is overstepping its bounds. Philosopher of science and cancer researcher Dr Sam McKee joins Prof Keith Fox, Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Southampton, for a lively and thoughtful discussion. Where one sees risk, the other sees potential, and both offer deep insights into what it means to “play God.” Explore the intersection of science, faith, and human responsibility in this provocative conversation.
