Summary:

Spina bifida is one of the most common birth defects in the world. It's a problem in the development of the spine that causes disability and partial paralysis. Actor Ruth Madeley has been living with spina bifida all her life but, like many people, she still knows very little about it. In this moving film, she asks why does she have it when her sister doesn't? And what are her chances of passing it on if she has children? Ruth meets the international experts pioneering techniques to treat spina bifida, and follows some of the brightest minds in the field as they attempt in-utero surgery to correct for the condition.
