Belsham.
Reporter, Jonathan Holmes.
Broadcast on 11 August 2003 on ABC-TV.
This program spotlights an Australian company which is aggressively enforcing a
suite of patents that affect 95 percent of every living creature's DNA, ie. the
non-coding or junk DNA.This development has deeply worried some scientists who
fear that the public good is falling victim to private profit. In this program,
reporter Jonathan Holmes talks to the man who heads the Australian biotechnology
company and who travels the world clinching new licensing deals for his
shareholders. As the biotech revolution powers ahead, Holmes investigates
whether a system meant to encourage investment and to reward invention may
instead deny help to those who suffer genetically inherited diseases.

Australian scientists in Sydney made medical history by creating a life-saving
brother for a child with an incurable genetic disease. Features the case of a
Tasmanian couple who, with their help, have this life-saving baby, at their
third try. The pioneering IVF treatment, which is legal only in N.S.W., hit the
news headlines, sparking an ethical storm. Examines the moral and ethical issues
that genetic manipulation raises, including the potential uses and misuses of
genetic technology. Raises also the spectre of an extreme form of eugenics, as
seen in the World War II Nazi push to create a master race through human
genetics. Some view eugenics as another form of PGD. Presents the diverse views
of eminent ethicists and the Catholic Church, world wide.
