"Noel has given us a moving and often disturbing glimpse into the new social possibilities that can arise from genetic and reproductive technologies. A fascinating and important work."
Donald Kennedy, Ph.D., Editor in Chief, SCIENCE, Professor and President emeritus Stanford University, Former Commissioner, FDA; author, Academic Duty.
"Our society is sadly lacking in broad-based discourse on the ethical implications of technological innovation. BLOODLINES should serve as a model of the way the electronic media can contribute to expanding public discussion of key moral questions. It dramatically highlights some of the crucial dilemmas created by rapidly advancing biomedical science. I wish it could be seen by everyone."
Paul Ehrlich, Ph.D., Professor of Population Studies and Biological Sciences at Stanford University; author, The Population Bomb.
"We have been bombarded with hype about the
ways in which
the new molecular genetics will someday affect out lives. In refreshing
contrast, BLOODLINES brings to life and deftly explores
a series of issues currently at the vanguard of these technologies. In
sensitive, reflective, and sophisticated ways, the film reveals just how
much the "future" conundrums of genetics, law, responsibility,
and human dignity are already with us."
Troy Duster, Ph.D., Professor of Sociology,
New York University, Chancellor's Professor, University of California,
Berkeley, and author, "The Legislation of Morality" and "Backdoor
to Eugenics."
"Reproduction was once one of the most private
and personal of human
activities and amid the revolution we are undergoing in biotechnology,
it
has become anything but. This is a realm of artificial insemination,
in vitro fertilization, egg and sperm donors, pregnancy surrogates,
prenatal screening for genetic traits. In some realms, this saves
individuals from the heartbreak of childlessness. In others, it poses
some of the toughest ethical questions in medicine. BLOODLINES tackles
this all—an immensely provocative and well-done film."
Robert Sapolsky, Ph.D., Professor of
Biology, Stanford University, and prize-winning author of "The Trouble
with Testosterone," "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers" and "A
Primate's Memoir."
"This excellent video explores entirely new territory
at the intersection of law, technology, and society with clarity and respect.
The wonderful photography, the real people, and the bleak midwestern landscapes
set the stage for a wide-ranging discussion of these important issues."
Sally Tobin, Ph.D., M.S.W., Senior
Research Scholar, Center for Biomedical Ethics, Stanford University
"For those who like to consider the complex philosophical
and ethical issues that could arise with third-party reproduction, BLOODLINES
is compelling and very well told. Through individual stories, it brings
to life such challenging questions as whether biology or intention holds
the greater claim to parenthood…It is a riveting piece that should
cause all of us to look at our state’s laws and case law about third-party
reproduction to see if they would lead to the largely fair outcomes we
see in BLOODLINES."
RESOLVE, the largest national association
providing information, advocacy and support to men and women facing infertility.
