Paternity

When Judy agrees to marry Declan his happiness is complete. But from the first night of their marriage cracks appear in their relationship until eventually Judy reveals the demons which haunt her. When a child dies, the questions that follow unravel a past which rocks their security to its foundations. What have they inherited? What are they passing on to future generations? This story of love and deception challenges the morality of what is done in the name of infertility treatment today and exposes the dilemmas and conflicts which society must address.
