Details

a comedic and surreal exploration of genetic determinism with singing, an original score and live band. is there such a thing as a cancer gene and what exactly are the implications for women choosing to have healthy breasts and other organs surgically removed? is biomedical science (from genetics to pharmaceuticals to surgery) greedy, fatalistic and, ultimately, nihilistic? how do optimism, faith and fear impact on our thoughts and choices, and how do they influence the health of our genes and impact on us all?
