FFH carries "Cancer Cell Research: The Way of All Flesh". This is the original BBC documentary about Henrietta Lacks. We found this one to be an excellent conversation starter.

She has asked me to locate introductory videos on Bioethics, and also videos on cloning, stem cells, genetic engineering (especially of embryos and children with disabilities--should they be aborted?), and euthanasia. They can be scientific in orientation, this is fine. If any video resources are available on these subjects that also discuss the topic from a religious perspective, I would be interested in those too. We have "Whither Biogenetics," but it is only 26 minutes. On embryos and children with disabilities, we have "Who Should Decide," but it is 15 minutes in duration. On cloning, we have a 31 minute film entitled "Cloning," and "After Darwin," but they sound a little dated. I know that Icarus Films has acquired the Fanlight titles and that Films for the Humanities and Sciences has quite a few but just want to hear if anyone has strong opinions on one film over another. Any and all suggestions welcomed.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
