Summary
(Producer) In what is already being called "the biotech century," a revolution in scientific research and development is changing people's lives at a fundamental level. This program presents an in-depth look at this ongoing transformation, exploring the future of genetic engineering from cloning to medicines to forensics. Dr. William Haseltine, CEO of Human Genome Sciences, talks about gene-based drugs. The program also investigates the caes of Dolly, the first animal to be cloned from an adult cell, and Dr. Sam Sheppard, cleared of murder charges long after his death with the help of DNA blood tests.
