Genetics and Reproduction: Genetic Diseases to Designer Babies

This programme explores the revolution in genetic medicine, and highlights the social and ethical implications of the emerging reproductive technologies. Where will this new technology take us, and where will it stop? This programme starts by looking at types of genetic diseases, and considers recent medical advances and their applications. Through personal stories, students will realise the difficult decisions that parents confront when there is a family history of genetic disease.
