Enhanced Humans - Good or Bad?

Michael Gong and Ong Kar Jin join Kam Raslan on this episode of A Bit of Culture, and they start the show by talking about enhanced humans. We’re closer to creating Homo Sapiens 2.0, according to Mikey, and so, is this a good thing or a bad thing for humanity? They discuss this, and move on to the second topic - Kam shares a movie that he watched a long time ago called Gabriel Over The White House and its similarities to current American politics. In the second part of the show, Ong Kar Jin asks the team whether it’s okay for publishers to publish works by authors that have already passed away. Another A Bit of Culture episode that you don’t want to miss!
