by either ape towards humans as at present
constituted in this year of our Lord 1973.

:59:07
Let me remind you
that this was by a majority vote.

:59:13
The male's attitude is that
of a well-disposed academician

:59:17
who studied the alleged
downfall ofthe human race

:59:20
with the true objectivity of a good historian.
:59:23
The female's case is different in that she
committed actions against the human race

:59:28
of a sort which, if committed today,
would be called atrocities.

:59:35
But would they be so called
in 2,000 years' time

:59:37
when it is alleged that humans
will have become dumb brutes

:59:41
with the restricted intelligence of animals?
:59:44
lt has been pointed out
that what apes will do to humans

:59:47
is no more than what humans
are now doing to beasts.

:59:51
Nonetheless, the commission is
sympathetic to Dr Hasslein's conviction

:59:56
that the progeny ofthese apes
could in centuries to come

:59:59
prove an increasing threat to the human race
1:00:02
and conceivably end by dominating it.
1:00:05
This is a risk we dare not ignore.
1:00:08
Therefore, the commission
unanimously recommends

1:00:14
that the birth ofthe female ape's
unborn child should be prevented

1:00:18
and, after its prenatal removal,
1:00:20
both the male and female should humanely
be rendered incapable of bearing another.

1:00:27
l now declare this commission dissolved.
1:00:31
Savages! They are savages!
1:00:36
Jabbing needles into my pregnant wife!
1:00:38
l've done that too, dear. And worse.
1:00:43
Taylor thought we were savages at first.
1:00:48
Did they make you tell them
about Taylor, too?

1:00:52
They made me tell them
everything, Cornelius.

1:00:56
Brutes!
1:00:58
Shall l tell you something?
