After a few hours,
the eggs in culture divide...

1:25:06
..and are ready to be put back
into the female.

1:25:13
There they grow into embryos...
1:25:16
..which, in a month's time,
the normal gestation period,...

1:25:21
..will become baby rabbits.
1:25:23
In this instance...
1:25:25
..a black litter from a white mother.
1:25:29
Their black colour proves
that they have been cloned...

1:25:32
..from the blood cell of a black rabbit.
1:25:49
But isn't it difficult
to get the egg back into the female?

1:25:53
Transferring the eggs isn't a problem. We
do it all the time with laboratory animals.

1:25:58
The really tricky part is the microsurgery.
1:26:02
Getting the donor cell into the egg.
1:26:05
You're lucky if one in ten survives.
1:26:09
And this can be done with humans?
1:26:11
If the technique were precise enough.
1:26:14
- It's monstrous, Doctor!
- Why?

1:26:17
Wouldn't you want to live in a world
full of Mozarts and Picassos?

1:26:21
Of course, it's only a dream.
1:26:24
Not only would you have to reproduce
the genetic code of the donor,...

1:26:28
..but the environmental background
as well.

1:26:35
Is Mengele trying to reproduce himself?
1:26:39
No. He has brown eyes and he comes
from a very wealthy family.

1:26:45
Let's examine the family background...
1:26:49
..of the donor.
1:26:54
The father is 65 years old.
A civil servant.
