In this episode, Nucleus Genomics founder Kian Sadeghi reveals why the era of "designer babies" is already here—and how it will allow humanity to end genetic disease before birth. We dive deep into the real reason 23andMe failed (it’s not what you think), how whole-genome sequencing can defuse the ticking time bombs in your DNA, and why embryo selection is the most powerful tool we have to double human life expectancy. Plus: Kian’s most heretical belief in biotech and the top three traits he would optimize in his own child.
