First broadcast on the ABC in 2009, Pieces of Me, tells the moving story of the Neave sisters, who have all inherited the BRCA2 breast cancer gene. This means they have an 80% risk of developing breast cancer and a 60% chance of getting ovarian cancer by the time they reach 50. An intimate reflection, Pieces of Me explores the social and ethical implications of owning the knowledge of a genetic pre-disposition to a disease.
We look at the controversy surrounding genetic patents in Four Corners - Patently a Problem, and Australian Story - For the Holy Grail reveals a remarkable personal story behind a breakthrough in the treatment of cancer. In Catalyst - Exercise is Medicine, we see how effective exercise can be in treating diabetes, heart disease, depression and cancer.
