I'm Dr. Griffin Weir. Welcome to the
new Weir Organ Transplant Facility.
:30:23
Thanks for visiting
Replacement Technologies.
:30:28
Doctor, protesters claim
that cloning human organs...
:30:31
... will lead to cloning whole humans.
:30:33
That's not only illegal, we're years
from the technology to do it.
:30:37
A human was cloned over 1 0 years ago.
:30:39
And we know the outcome
of that bizarre experiment.
:30:42
If you recall, the Supreme Court
ordered the clone be destroyed...
:30:47
...and I think that was
the humane thing to do.
:30:49
It led to laws against
human cloning...
:30:51
...and set back the course of
legitimate research by years.
:30:55
Mr. Drucker! You gave--
:30:57
This is Dr. Weir's night, okay?
:30:59
Is it true you want to get
the 6th Day laws repealed?
:31:02
Dr. Weir is interested in medicine,
not politics.
:31:05
Mr. Drucker, the protesters claim you
run RePet at a loss...
:31:09
...to soften people
up to human cloning.
:31:11
You know, we shouldn't forget
that not long ago...
:31:15
...there were almost no more fish
left in the ocean...
:31:18
...and half the world's population
faced the threat of hunger.
:31:21
Cloning technology turned that around.
:31:24
Extremists won't admit
they'd rather people went hungry...
:31:27
...than eat cloned fish,
so they yell about human cloning.
:31:30
Do you think human cloning laws
should be changed?
:31:33
Suppose a 1 0-year-old boy is in the
hospital, dying of liver cancer.
:31:37
Thanks to Dr. Weir's work...
:31:39
...we can save that boy.
:31:41
In the next bed lies
another 1 0-year-old boy...
:31:44
...whose parents love him
just as much...
:31:46
...only he has
an inoperable brain tumor.
:31:49
You cannot clone a brain.
:31:52
The only way to save him
would be to clone the whole person.
:31:55
How do you tell that boy's parents
that we can save the first boy...
:31:59
...but the research that would have
saved their son wasn't done...
