Families
From Assisted Conception. How have they fared?
Families tell their story
with Dr Alexina McWhinnie. University of Dundee,
Scotland (6 videos and a book), 2001
"The continual development
of new medical techniques in the area of infertility
and reproductive medicine is the subject of
much discussion and media interest. This area
of medicine however is complex, multifaceted
and involves several discipline - clinicians,
embryologists, laboratory staff, nurses and
counsellors. As such it can be bewildering and
sometimes difficult to understand"

of Deception (IVF Story) |

Leon the Pig Farmer |
The hero, Leon,
is a guilt ridden middle class Jewish boy who
discovers first that he is the product of artificial
insemination and second, that due to a clinic
mix-up, Golders Green net curtain saleman, Sydney
Keller, isn't even his father. His real dad
is a warm hearted Yorkshire pig farmer.
The movie is a funny, inventive and charmingly
performed look at fatherhood, the way people
have identities thrust upon them and acceptance
of sterotypes. |

“Switched
at Birth”
What
if someone told you that your nine year
old daugther belonged to someone else |
| In 1988 an American couple
came forward with firm evidence that the
nine year old daughter they had raised
since birth was actually someone elses
- and that their own child was out there,
somewhere, living with another family.
Once it was confirmed that
their had been a mix-up at the hospital
and two new borns had been switched, the
hunt that made international headlines
led them to tracking down their biological
daughter, living happily with the man
she loved as her father.
That discovery ignited one
of the most complicated and emotionally-charged
child custody cases in history. |
