Link to Visions of the future: 2- The biotech revolution documentary
Documentary Description
Genetics and biotechnology promise a
future of unprecedented health and longevity: DNA screening could
prevent many diseases, gene therapy could cure them and, thanks to
lab-grown organs, the human body could be repaired as easily as a car,
with spare parts readily available. Ultimately, the ageing process
itself could be slowed down or even halted.
But what impact
will this have on who we are and how we will live? And, with our
mastery of the genome, will the human race end up in a world divided by
genetic apartheid?
