Synopsis
Documentary about the genetic engineering of humans. Soon, each of the 100,000 genes that make up the human genome will have been identified as part of the multi-billion dollar Human Genome Project. Using futuristic DNA chips, geneticists claim to have found the gene for good-parenting, genes for obesity, Alzheimer's disease, red hair and happiness. This program separates the science from science fiction, and discovers whether the rich will be able to order the perfect designer baby -- with looks, health, intelligence and talents needed to succeed in a brave new world.
