About this episode
This episode explores the unsettling intersection of genetics, consciousness, procreation, and immortality.
In this episode of Lipstick on Labcoats , we explore the unsettling intersection of genetics, consciousness, procreation, and immortality. From CRISPR labs and embryo engineering to epigenetics and inherited memory, science is beginning to approach questions once reserved for philosophy and spirituality. Can trauma echo through generations? Is DNA a form of biological immortality? And if consciousness is ultimately energy and information… what actually survives after us? A dark, philosophical journey into the modern laboratory — where creation, identity, and eternity collide.
