Fix Me Summary

Horizon Season 48 Episode 3 Synopsis

The potential of stem cells for the future of medicine seems scarcely plausible. They offer the prospect of a new 'regenerative medicine' that may before long be able to regrow amputated limbs, create hearts in a lab or heal people paralyzed by spinal cord injuries. It's that huge. But because we're just at the point where some of that promise translates into clinical procedures, there are vultures around -unregulated doctors who play on patients' hopes via glossy websites. This Horizon documentary, called Fix Me, follows Sophie Morgan, paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident, as she sets out to discover if there's a treatment out there for her, or whether the claims are too good to be true. It's an enlightening journey, as are those of the two other subjects - an amputee, Anthony, and Dean, a man with a potentially fatal heart condition.
