Professor Tara Spires-Jones (The University of Edinburgh) explores the neuroscience behind a new blood test for Alzheimer’s disease and what it means (and doesn’t mean) for treatment. If you were likely to develop dementia, would you really want to know? Llona Kavege (The University of Edinburgh) dispels the hype around Brave New World like baby-making machines and tackles the pressing social and ethical implications of tinkering with the beginning of life. Part of the Edinburgh Medical School’s 300th Anniversary.
