Synopsis

ncreasingly financed by private funds, most genetic research takes place in the United States, the haut lieu of science entwined with the economy, where a veritable culture of genetics is developing. Bio-technology companies are directed by ambitious scientists associated with influential businessmen who raise the capital needed to invest in research that offers practically no return and is very costly, but which represents a colossal potential market. Genetic research combined with high-finance poses explosive questions for the world of health. Will contemporary American free economy and the system of values accompanying it take over the medical field? This film tours the USA to meet research workers, businessmen, sociologists, intellectuals and patients to survey this question.With Craig Venter, Jeremy Rifkin, Alan Gelb (Sally Show)
