Inside Out South West - 16/11/2009

Samantha Smith reports on the Dorset mother whose son has been kept alive by a machine for nine years and the questions she has over whether the medical profession should continue to fight so hard to extend his life. We follow a young Cornish girl as she goes to a boot camp aimed at getting unfit teenagers strong enough to meet army recruitment standard. And we follow the trials and tribulations of a Devon beekeeper as he struggles through a long wet summer to keep new hives at Saltram house thriving.
