Designer Genes with Joan Bakewell.
Man now has the capacity to manipulate DNA, the very code for life itself. In doing so, he has created plants and creatures which would never have existed were it not for genetic engineering. Is this new knowledge a force for good, or a Pandora's Box with alarming implications? Joan Bakewell examines both the scientific and philosophical implications of our capacity to alter life on earth. Director CLAIRE HOBDAY
