HARDtalk:
James Watson
On
BBC News 24's HARDtalk tonight (Tuesday 29 April 2003), Jon Sopel
talks to James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA.
Around
fifty years ago today two men walked into a public house in Cambridge
and told the barman they'd discovered the meaning of life.
Their
discovery remains the basis for the most controversial scientific
and ethical issues today: genetic engineering, designer babies,
human cloning and so-called Frankenstein foods.
They
had unlocked the secrets of DNA. James Watson is one of those who
discovered DNA.
HARDtalk is
on BBC News 24 at 11.30pm.
All the
BBC's digital services are now available on Freeview,
the new free-to-view digital terrestrial television service, as well
as on satellite and cable.
Freeview
offers the BBC's eight television channels, interactive services
from BBCi, as well as 11 BBC radio networks.
