Athamanatha Kitsune and Cam Cam interview Liz Parrish, the CEO and founder of BioViva Science and an early pioneer of gene therapy self-experimentation.
“When you’re talking about genetic therapies, you’re talking about the gateway to the freedom, autonomy and agency of one’s body that is really necessary for anything else, it’s really a civil rights issue.” – Liz Parrish
“I have the right to go jump out of an aeroplane with one simple signature, but I don’t have the right to genetically modify my body in this country in the way that I see fit.” – Liz Parrish
“People don’t understand how genetic engineering could save the species. 99.9% of species have gone extinct.” – Liz Parrish.
