Review of Frozen Angels

Frozen Angels (2005)
8/10
Frozen Angels at Hot Docs
9 May 2005
This film recently played at Hot Docs, and both filmmakers attended the Q & A after screening. Definitely a thought provoking film, and the filmmakers don't shy away from letting the audience think about the 'moral' issues involved in this alternative methods of starting a family. I was personally struck about how similar the issues are around 'birth family relationships', whether the family is formed through adoption or surrogacy. Definitely disturbing what the world 'ideal' is when choosing an egg donor, and how it could be so at odds with the genetic make-up of the couple raising their so-called 'perfect' offspring. The film makes you think twice about an unregulated market, and dare I say, even think (in the Cdn. case) that out National controls on reproductive technology have some merit.
