This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian and ChatGPT step into the world of genetic engineering - from curing rare diseases to the controversial idea of “designer babies.”

We explore the science, the ethics, and the social dilemmas:
🧬 Could CRISPR really let parents choose traits like height, eye colour, or IQ?
💉 How is gene editing already being used to fight conditions like sickle cell anaemia?
⚖️ Where should we draw the line between treatment and enhancement?

From futuristic possibilities to corporate “arms races,” and even the role of AI in decoding our DNA, this conversation looks at how close we are to shaping humanity’s genetic future - for better or worse.
