Over the next two episodes, we're proud to present 'Lost Cells', a short investigative podcast series. The production is an original SWI swissinfo.ch trilingual podcast made in collaboration with Piz Gloria Productions, Futur Proche, and Studio Ochenta.

This gripping investigative podcast series uncovers the human stories behind the promises and failures of private stem cell banking in Switzerland.

In episode five, families across Europe feel like they’re being held hostage. Who owns their cells? Do they have any rights? They fight back with the only thing they do have: their own tenacity and an international network of sleuths.

SWI swissinfo.ch is a public service media company based in Bern, Switzerland.
