DNA: The Promise and The Price

2x60 mins

Two films exploring the brave new world of genetics, the potential benefits, and the risks.

Drawing on the results of a specially commissioned international poll the programme reveals what people across the world really think about the promise of genetics, and asks if there is a price to be paid when scientists are allowed to meddle with our genes and 'play God'.
