Three documentary programmes looking at recent research into life before birth, and its consequences. 2: Sea in the Blood
Thalassaemia - meaning ' sea in the blood ' - is the name given to a once mysterious disease which was found in Mediterranean countries. More recently it was shown to be one of the most common genetic diseases in the world.
Today, as a result of the applica-, tion of the most advanced methods of biology, more is known about this form of anaemia than any other disease. But this knowledge will not simply affect the sufferers; there is no doubt that its consequences for genetics are widespread and will affect us all. In less than a generation it is likely that many people will face difficult, many think dangerous, choices as a result of the new biology.
Robert Reid looks at the work, how it affects people in underdeveloped countries, how it is 'already affecting people in Britain ', and what its wider effects might be.

Even with something as concrete as an Act of Parliament, which ties theory and practice tightly together, you find the knot quickly becomes loosened when real delinquents come into contact with real institutions. The dull truth is that the law only works when it is in line with the beliefs of those who have to implement it ..."
In the ninth of ten documentaries LAURIE TAYLOR examines the debate about treatment and punishment for young offenders with film of the Massachusetts Experiment of 1969 when the ' Houses of Correction ' for juveniles were closed down and replaced by treatment in the community.
