This
program examines arguably the most human instinct of all: the instinct to
protect, which, combined with other qualities, prompts people to risk
everything for the sake of others. Three gripping stories—a mother who
wrestled a cougar to save her son, a soldier who braved enemy fire to rescue
a comrade, and two men who helped a woman in a wheelchair escape the
collapse of the World Trade Center—are spotlighted. The effect of the
familial gene pool on the impulse for self-sacrifice is considered as well,
along with the role of mirror neurons in promoting empathy and a bent for
fair play shared by humans and vampire bats alike. A BBCW Production. (50
minutes)
