Like most other parents of their day,
they were determined that their next child -

:11:08
- will be brought into the world
in what has become the natural way.

:11:13
Your extracted eggs, Marie, -
:11:17
- have been fertilized
with Antonio's sperm.

:11:21
After screening, we're left, as you see,
with 2 healthy boys and 2 very healthy girls.

:11:28
Naturally no critical predispositions
to any major inheritable diseases.

:11:33
All that remains is to select the
most compatible candidate.

:11:37
First, you may want us to decide on
a gender. Have you given it any thought?

:11:40
We would want Vincent to have
a brother, you know, to play with.

:11:47
Of course you would. Hello Vincent!
:11:50
You have specified hazel eyes,
dark hair and . . . fair skin.

:11:55
I've taken the liberty to eradicate
any potentially prejudicial conditions:

:11:59
Premature baldness, miopia, alcoholism,
addictiveness to susceptibility,-

:12:03
-propensity for violence, obesity...
:12:06
We didn't want . . .
I mean, diseases, yes, but . . .

:12:10
We were just wandering if it's good
to just leave a few things to chance.

:12:15
We want to give your child
the best possible start.

:12:18
Believe me, we have
enough imperfection built-in already.

:12:21
Your child doesn't need any additional burdens.
And keep in mind, this child is still you.

:12:27
Simply the best of you.
:12:30
You could conceive naturally a 1 ,000
times and never get such a result.

:12:36
That's how my brother Anton came into the world.
A son my father considered worthy of his name.

:12:55
- I'm proud of you, son.
- What'd I tell you. See how much he's grown?
