This emotional and personal series guides the viewer through the fascinating area of IVF, in which pioneers have transformed our understanding of human embryonic development and created a technological revolution in the way we make babies.
With unique access to fertility clinics across the UK and abroad, each episode combines groundbreaking science with real human drama.
From children born from three genetic parents in a bid to outwit the effects of ageing to time travel babies born from frozen embryos, this series is a voyage of scientific and emotional discovery. Professor Robert Winston has fought passionately throughout his working life to help couples have children, but he is also acutely aware of the potential pitfalls this scientific revolution can bring.
