Originally broadcast as an episode of the BBC television program Horizon
"After years in the wilderness, stem cell research is back. Horizon follows three young people with currently untreatable conditions as they search for a miracle cure. Sophie, paralysed from the waist down after a car accident, visits a private bio-tech company based in California which is about to start the first human embryonic stem cell trial. Dean who suffers from a potentially fatal, inherited heart condition visits a London team which is beginning a trial that will inject stem cells directly into the heart wall to see if the damaged muscle will regenerate itself. And Anthony Bath, whose leg was amputated after an accident on the rugby field, visits the Finnish team pioneering a technique using stem cells from a patient's fat to grow tailor made bone that their bodies won't reject. Each journey highlights the remarkable work undertaken by scientists that hints at a future where these conditions are no longer seen as incurable"--Publisher's website.
