Why are some people unable to hear from birth, even though their inner ear appears intact? One possible cause lies in the so-called OTOF gene. It plays a central role in transmitting sound signals ...

What if you could screen embryos for diseases before they became babies? What if you had the power to choose the traits your baby would have? Would you use it? These practically polar opposite ...
