Presidente del Instituto de Biotecnología : You know the application of transgenic therapy in humans is strictly forbidden!
Robert Ledgard : Yes, I do. And forgive me, but it seems the ultimate paradox.
[Dr. Ledgard pauses, staying silent while a symposium member walks by]
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.
