Synopsis

Where might DNA science lead? The conclusion of this series offers "a look into the Pandora's Box with the person who opened it": James Watson, who defends genetic engineering in plants and "enhancements" in humans to combat disease and disability. The hour recalls the abuses spawned by the "eugenics" movement of the early 20th century, and the genetic experimentation undertaken by the Nazis. Asks narrator Jeff Goldblum: "Where do you draw the line?" Watson rejects any coercian in genetics, but adds: "If we don't play God, who will?"
