SBS’s “Insight” tackles the increasingly relevant topic of DNA testing this Tuesday in an episode pointedly titled, “DNA Doesn’t Lie.” The program takes a hard look at the growing trend of using DNA technology to uncover family secrets, asking the tough questions about the potential costs and rewards of such pursuits. Is finding the truth—and sometimes, unexpected family—always a life-changing experience for the better? Is the search, and the knowledge it brings, ultimately worth it?
“Insight,” known for its forum-style discussions and focus on personal stories, takes a multi-faceted approach. It presents a range of individual accounts, allowing viewers to hear directly from those who have grappled with these complicated decisions and their fallout. The program also examines the wider societal impact of DNA testing and the ethical quandaries it presents.
