- Summary:
- Completed ten years ago, the $4 billion Human Genome Project promised cures for diseases and a new world of personalised medicine. It would lay bare the six billion letters of our genetic make up. But where are we now? Horizon follows three people who hope the mapping of the human genome will transform their lives. Cystic fibrosis sufferer Sophie, recovering alcoholic Tom and cancer patient Emma, each go on a journey to understand their own conditions and how science is finding ways to help them. What they discover will affect us all. Is personalized medicine and gene therapy just around the corner? Will the Human Genome Project change our relationship with ourselves forever? Horizon investigates.
