I am a special consultant to the CBC, and hence, have seen how hard its staff works to bring forth important educational information in the fields of biotechnology and bioethics. Among its enterprising approaches are documentaries. The CBC’s first film was Lines That Divide, an in-depth look at the the human cloning and embryonic stem cell controversies—featuring yours truly as one of the talking heads. Now, coming soon, Eggsploitation, an expose of the dangers of human egg extraction for IVF and cloning research. I haven’t seen it yet, but when I do, I’ll report here. Oh yes, I am told I am in this one as well.
