Horizon - man and science today.

The Washkansky heart transplant triggered enormous public concern for the ethics of 'interference' with the human body. But we are at the beginning of a biological revolution where events are bypassing or out-dating today's moral problems.
Just how much can we hope to add usefully to the human body? Could a limb or even a brain be transplanted? Can organs be stored so that the life of one man is not dependent on the death of another?
Tonight's Horizon avoids the moral issue, and looks at the optimistic - and perturbing - practical possibilities.
