About this episode
Is humanity closer to unleashing the horror of the Planet of the Apes?
That remains a nightmare scenario for the distant future, but genetic editing potentially takes us a small step closer.
Dave talks to the National Post's Sharon Kirkey about how scientists are adding human stem cells to the brains of monkeys, why they’re actually doing this, and what potential ethical issues there are.
