Summary Australia is at the forefront of new genetic technology that will let us "design" our descendants. Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD, allows scientists to screen embryos conceived through IVF. But what is the potential of this technology and who should decide how to use it? This compelling documentary follows a couple who are trying to have a child with the right genetic make-up to save their son's life. It also talks to parents who have used PGD for gender selection and to leading scientists and ethicists from around the world. Going beyond sensationalist media headlines, this fascinating and thought-provoking film presents a wide range of perspectives on a complex and emotionally charged issue
