The UK's recent approval of "Three parent babies" leads into a discussion on the pros and cons of genetic modification of human beings and what our future lives might be like as the technology advances.
We then feature the science of taste, why Ben is "taste blind", and what occurs when you fill a stove pot with 400 psilocybin mushrooms and then accidentally drink the brew.
