Robert Ledgard : Yes, I do. And forgive me, but it seems the ultimate paradox.

Robert Ledgard : We intervene in everything around us. Meat, clothes, vegetables, fruit, everything! Why not use scientific advances to improve our species? You know how many diseases we could cure with transgenesis? Or the genetic malformations that could be avoided?
Presidente del Instituto de Biotecnología : Don't continue. I know the list by heart and I think of it every day.
