Katie: The Science of Seeing Again - Channel 4 Tues 7 Feb

With all the recent news about stem cell research into restoring vision in some sight conditions, (includng this story on VWS), Channel 4 are showing a programme tomorrow night following Katier Piper, a model who lost the sight in her left eye after an acid attack.  She has injections of embryonic stem cells into her eye,  which could potential restore her sight.  The programme also deals with the ethics issues in the procedure, which some think is morally wrong as it uses cells from human embryos.

The programme airs tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 4 and will be available on 4oD online a day later.
