A young man's story of love and family conflict, of lives ravaged by a father's alcoholism, of betrayal, tragedy, redemption and triumph. Australian Tony Boyle's powerful story is set amid the rugged cliffs and pristine white beaches of Kangaroo Island, off the South Australian coast. . Matt Ryan, a young man in love with his childhood sweetheart, Cassie Baldwin, fights to overcome the forces arranged against their relationship and for the lives ravaged by his father's alcoholism. Despite the dark legacy of this disease and the untimely death of loved ones, the compelling story offers hope and spiritual renewal while questioning stereotypes about alcoholics, addicts and real life heroes. Matt and Cassie find solace in their love for each other against struggles with an age old family clash, conflicts with local police over an illegal business and disapproving family members.
El espectacular avance que las ciencias de la vida han experimentado en la segunda mitad del siglo XX ha supuesto la apertura de un debate plagado de preguntas que difícilmente podíamos plantearnos décadas atrás. ¿Qué es la vida?, ¿estamos autorizados a modificarla en algún sentido? ¿podemos alterar de algún modo nuestra descendencia?, ¿es lícito sacar provecho económico de la información contenida en nuestros cromosomas?, ¿son aceptables las madres de alquiler?, ¿puedo aspirar a tener clones de mí mismo? Son algunas de ellas, pero no como meras especulaciones, sino como realidades tecnológicamente posibles en la actualidad. La ingeniería genética ha abierto la Caja de Pandora de nuestros temores ancestrales. En la confusión nos hemos visto obligados a legislar rápida y desordenadamente sobre temas de una dificultad tecnológica y conceptual más que considerable. Uno de los retos más importantes a los que ha tenido que enfrentarse la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos, formulada en una época en la que la ingeniería genética apenas balbuceaba, poniendo a prueba su validez, es el de su adaptación al progreso tecnológico. Es cierto que en ella no se encuentra un artículo específico que reconozca el patrimonio genético humano como algo inmodificable, pero sí se encuentran los principios que deben tenerse en cuenta a la hora de tomar las decisiones más controvertidas: el derecho a la intimidad, el derecho al reconocimiento de la personalidad jurídica, el derecho a la libertad de conciencia, etc. En definitiva la Declaración es un texto útil que ha de ser enriquecido permanentemente actualizándolo.
