A disabled film maker's exploration of the scientific future for disability and the use of modern fertility techniques to engineer a healthy child of his own. But along the way he discovers the rise of neo-eugenics, the idea of selecting only the “best” genetics for new-borns, a development which will impact us all and make his kind extinct.
