Just because we can ..doesn't mean we should!

Now tie this documentary into Ectogenesis research and you have the perfect storm, leading straight to Dr Frankenstein's laboratory, and a dystopian future.

The problem..get a group of extremely clever but blinkered genetic scientists together and they will become self reinforcing in their attitudes & beliefs about the work they're doing, ie. Groupthink! They will overlook and/or justify any possible harmful consequences as risks worth taking regardless, the research becomes everything.. err NO it's really not!

No-one can take into account every possible scenario, many of which will be driven by money and irreversible. However, one of the most worrying aspects; many scientists doing the research seem the least concerned about its consequences, that is WHY we need strong ethical regulation..period!

The documentary also follows the fate of a Chinese researcher that stepped way outside their regulations, who is then made out to be a scientific 'martyr' by other scientists ..why?
