Today: „Designer Babys“: Diese Startups versprechen optimierte Kinder
Der Markt für polygenes Embryoscreening boomt in den USA. Damit können bereits Embryos auf Krankheiten getestet werden. Und: Ein US-Konzern streitet mit Grönland um Ölförderrechte.
The US company Greenland Energy aims to extract oil in Greenland's Jameson Land basin. To do so, the exploration company requires permission from the Greenlandic government. In late July, Greenland Energy brought accommodation equipment to the Nerlerit Inaat harbor via ship without authorization. The Greenlandic government publicly warned and announced that drilling would not commence until the winter of 2027.
In a podcast, Handelsblatt commodity expert Judith Henke explains why she also considers this timeline improbable – and why one should not underestimate the actions of Greenland Energy: "It was simply a sign, apparently, that one does not want to adhere to the borders and rules of other countries in this land, especially when it comes to oil."
The podcast focuses on startups promising healthier and smarter babies to their customers. The development of the market for polygenic embryo screening and the criticism companies face are discussed.
