HM Televisión presents documentary on Jérôme Lejeune

HM Televisión released a documentary titled The Strength of Love: Jérôme Lejeune (1926-1994) on October 22. The film chronicles the life of the French physician and researcher to mark the centenary of his birth.

The documentary details Lejeune's 1958 discovery of Trisomy 21. It describes how his medical findings regarding the origins of Down syndrome were later used in debates over abortion laws in France to justify selective abortion. The film portrays Lejeune's subsequent commitment to defending human life and his personal and professional response to these developments.
