Horizon: The Human Laboratory

on BBC Two England

Tonight's programme investigates controversial contraceptive research carried out on women in Third World countries. It features testimony from women in the slums and villages of Bangladesh and Haiti, examines the belief of some Filipino women that they have been used as guinea pigs, and asks whether Third World testing of contraceptives can be unscientific and unethical. This pre-watershed programme deals with the emotive issue of family planning and its effect on women.
