This documentary, led by Sally Phillips, delves into the topic of Down’s syndrome and the moral considerations surrounding pregnancy screening. It examines the science and rationale behind a proposed new screening test for Down’s syndrome, which may soon be offered by the NHS. Motivated by her personal journey of raising her son Olly, who has Down’s syndrome, Sally investigates the ethical dimensions of the national screening policy. By engaging with leading experts in the Down’s syndrome community, top scientists, and individuals with Down’s syndrome, Sally tackles a complex issue that raises fundamental questions for society: what kind of world do we aspire to create, and who do we envision as part of it?
