On the Eighth Day: Perfecting Mother Nature

A documentary series of two one-hour films about new reproductive and genetic technologies. Part One, Making Babies, asks for whom reproductive technology is being developed and why. It suggests that by changing how we reproduce, we may be changing what it means to be human. Part Two, Making Perfect Babies, offers a critical look at developments in reproductive and genetic technology. It suggests that the day of the genetically designed baby has left the realm of fantasy and is quickly approaching.
