New biotechnologies - Revolution or evolution?

When we think about revolutions, we think of systemic changes in
politics, economics, and lifestyles. Revolutions transform how we
live, work, interact, and communicate. In the past, political
uprisings and new technologies, from the steam engine to the
smartphone, have led to such transformative changes. Now, a
revolution driven by novel biotechnologies (gene editing,
neuroprosthetics, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence in
biotech) has the potential to not only change the way we live but
the very foundations of our lives – our biology. But is the
so-called biorevolution a real "scientific revolution"? In the new
episode of "We're Doomed, We're Saved," Andreas Horchler and Louise
von Stechow look at the biorevolution from different angles,
examining its transformative potential and comparing it to
revolutions that came before. Content and Editing: Louise von
