BBC Superhuman 6of6 The Baby Builders DivX AC3 (www.mvgroup.org)
We live surrounded by 20th Century technology, yet still have bodies that were designed for the Stone Age. The biggest challenge for modern medicine is to reconcile the two. This groundbreaking series shows how pioneers at the cutting edge of medicine are shaping the physical future by harnessing the body's extraordinary capacity for self-repair and re-invention.
Superhuman shows the beauty and faults that lie within the human body, how it operates both in sickness and in health, and the extraordinary ways that it adapts and responds to the world. Stunning graphic embeds and imaging techniques illustrate how modern science is making the possibility of becoming superhuman a serious reality in the 21st Century.
6..The Baby Builders
Inherited genetic diseases are the second most common reason why babies die but people who carry defective genes, such as the ones that cause cystic fibrosis, are being helped by a technique called PGD - pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. This involves growing embryos in the lab, screening them for cystic fibrosis before placing one in the womb. The programme also explores ways in which eggs can be grown outside the body which could help an enormous group of people such as cancer patients who want to avoid exposing their eggs to chemotherapy. Genetic diseases might also be prevented by the genetic engineering of sperm - an idea that Professor Lord Winston discusses.
