Reproduction 2.0

Human reproduction is entering a new era. Join Prof Sir Doug Turnbull, Professor Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, Dr Norah Fogarty and the Science Museum Group’s own Dr Roger Highfield to uncover how far science has progressed – from the very first test tube baby in Oldham, to creating GM babies and even artificial embryos. Find out how ‘three-parent babies’ could eliminate serious genetic diseases and have a say on the morals of ‘playing God’, in a discussion with leading scientists. Where will this revolution in procreation take us next?
