Exploring Synthetic Life and Health Crises
This chapter investigates the concept of 'mirror life' and the risks associated with creating synthetic organisms, while also addressing ethical implications and historical attempts to engineer life.

Blending health concerns with humor, the hosts critique public health communications and examine the broader implications of immigration narratives in the context of healthcare.
