Josiah Zayner is a biohacker who’s famous for, among other things, injecting himself with the gene-editing tool CRISPR. At a time when the technology exists for us to change, or hack, our own DNA, what are the ethics of experimenting on ourselves, and others at home? Arielle Duhaime-Ross has been following Zayner’s story and talks to him about how he’s thinking about human experimentation today. Plus: new efforts to come up with a code of conduct for biohackers, from legislation to self-regulation.If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe to Reset for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify,Stitcher, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or your favorite podcast app to get new episodes every week.Links to resources discussed: From Arielle Duhaime-Ross’ original report for The Verge:https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/4/11581994/fmt-fecal-matter-transplant-josiah-zayner-microbiome-ibs-c-diffFrom Vox.com: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/8/13/20802059/california-crispr-biohacking-illegal-josiah-zaynerFrom The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/02/biohacking-stunts-crispr/553511/Josiah Zayner’s company website http://www.the-odin.com/Global Community BioSummit https://www.biosummit.org/
