307: As Fragile As An Eggshell

Genetically Designed People.
 
Genetic engineering has been a thread throughout Star Trek ever
since the classic first season episode of The Original Series,
"Space Seed," which introduced Khan Noonien Singh. The Next
Generation has its own share of thought-provoking episodes that
focus on genetic engineering and genetically designed
people.

In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Justin Oser, Joe Keegan, and
Amy Nelson talk about episodes of The Next Generation featuring
genetically designed people and what their portrayal tells us
about the show's perspective on different types of genetic
engineering. The episodes discussed include "Unnatural
Selection," "Up the Long Ladder," "The Hunted," and "The
Masterpiece Society."
