To achieve anything in life,
one has to keep life simple.

:23:09
Don't you think?
:23:12
Irrigation.
:23:15
It'd be an exaggeration to say we can
make up a new set of fallopian tubes...

:23:20
..using just anything that's handy.
:23:26
Those tubes are highly specialised
little organs.

:23:30
But with the kind of help
we can offer the process,...

:23:33
..it is possible to...
modify several other organs:

:23:38
..the odd vein,...
:23:40
..or, as today,...
:23:41
..we're using
a femoral lymphatic vessel...

:23:45
..to take over the function
of conveying the egg...

:23:49
..from the ovary to the uterus.
:24:05
What are you taking?
:24:06
Let me see.
:24:08
"Dextroamphetamine resin."
:24:11
"Dosage form: capsule."
:24:13
"7.5 milligrams."
:24:15
"Use: short-term treatment of obesity."
:24:18
"Minor side effects:
dry mouth, palpitations,...

:24:22
..restlessness,
unpleasant taste in mouth."

:24:25
"Major...
:24:27
..side effects:
:24:38
..sleeplessness, rapid heartbeat,...
:24:42
..euphoria."
:24:47
Do you want one?
:24:49
Where did you learn all that?
:24:52
Doctor, the Physician's Desk Reference
is my favourite bedside reading.

:24:57
As a matter of fact,...
:24:59
..they tell me that there's a high incidence
of drug use amongst doctors.
