Bloodlines: Technology Hits Home
http://www.pbs.org/bloodlines
The BLOODLINES project (which includes a one-hour PBS documentary, an interactive web site, outreach and a guide) reveals how new life technologies are raising ethical, legal and social dilemmas as cutting-edge science intersects with the law. What does it mean to be a parent? To be human? To have rights? The BLOODLINES project tells us what is at stake when public policy trails behind medical science, and human dramas set the precedent for an uncertain future. Are we creating a world that we won't want to inhabit?

Estate Project for Artists With AIDS

The Estate Project for Artists with AIDS was created in 1991 with a mandate to study the special needs of artists in America living with AIDS. The Estate Project has evolved into an initiative with a unique purpose: to encourage artists with HIV/AIDS (and other life-threatening diseases) to continue their creative output for as long as possible and to make the necessary legal provisions that will protect their work from being compromised following their deaths.
