:06:09
The professor?
:06:11
No, not yet.
:06:19
I'll tell him, once he's finished.
:06:21
Is not the greatest
of man's new hopes
:06:24
that of physical rejuvenation?
:06:29
This hope
:06:30
comes with the heterograft.
:06:33
But the heterograft -
in other words, the transplanting
:06:37
of living tissue or organs
from one human being to another -
:06:42
has only been possible until now
:06:44
when both subjects in question
:06:48
were perfectly identical
from a biological standpoint.
:06:53
This means biologically modifying
:06:55
the nature of the host organism.
:07:01
One method involves using
:07:05
heavy X-ray irradiation
:07:08
to destroy the antibodies that create
resistance to the heterograft.
:07:14
Unfortunately, this irradiation
requires such a high level of intensity
:07:21
that no human being can survive it.
:07:25
So we resort to exsanguination.
:07:29
We drain every last drop of blood
:07:32
from the subject
exposed to radiation.
:07:42
- You just had a call, Professor.
- From whom?
:07:46
The medico-legal -
You know, the morgue.
:07:50
They want to see you right away.
- Oh, Professor,
:07:52
your lecture was so invigorating.
:07:55
Thrilling, wasn't it, Carlo?
:07:57
What a wonderful future
you've shown us.
