CHAPTER

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. The discussion shifts to current respiratory illness outbreaks in China and the U.S., coining the term 'quademic' for the simultaneous rise of multiple viral infections. Blending health concerns with humor, the hosts critique public health communications and examine the broader implications of immigration narratives in the context of healthcare.
