Fix me
Horizon follows the emotional journey of three young people with currently untreatable conditions to see if within their lifetime, they can be cured. Sophie is desperate to discover if there's a medical breakthrough which will get her walking again. Anthony hopes to regrow his leg, while Dean is desperate for a cure for his damaged heart. They've all heard about the potential of stem cells to heal the body. Now they've been given access to the scientists who could transform their lives.

- ""After years in the wilderness, stem cell research is back in Fix Me. Horizon follows three young people with currently untreatable conditions as they search for a miracle cure. Sophie, paralysed from the waist down after a car accident, visits a private bio-tech company based in California which is about to start the first human embryonic stem cell trial. Dean, who suffers from a potentially fatal, inherited heart condition visits a London team which is beginning a trial that will inject stem cells directly into the heart wall to see if the damaged muscle will regenerate itself. ; Anthony Bart, whose leg was amputated after an accident on the rugby field, visits the Finnish team pioneering a technique using stem cells from a patient's fat to grow tailor made bone that their bodies won't reject. Each journey in Fix Me highlights the remarkable work undertaken by scientists that hints at a future where these conditions are no longer seen as incurable."--container cover."
- ""This program looks at stem cell research and its potential, following three young people with currently untreatable conditions. The three are: Dean Thurd, whose inherited dilated cardiomyopathy could kill him at any time; Anthony Bart, whose leg was amputated after a rugby accident; and Sophie Morgan, paralysed from the waist down after a car accident. All three hope that adult stem cell research will lead to breakthroughs in the treatment of their conditions"--SBS-TV website."
