No I'm serious. You take vaccine for instance. 30 years ago the entire concept of vaccine was unheard of, and now we save lives every day. But that isn't the whole answer.
What do you mean?
That sooner or later the best way to cheat death, will be to create life.
Now you've gone too far. There's only one God, Victor.
No. Leave God out of this. Listen. You love someone they have a sick heart. Wouldn't you give them a healthy one.
Impossible!
No, it's not impossible. We can do it. We're steps away. If we can do that if we can replace one part of a human being. We can replace every part. And if we can do that we can design a life. We can create a being that will not grow old or sicken. One that will be stronger than us, better than us, one that will be more intelligent than us, more civilized than us.
In our lifetime?
How close did you get, Professor?
Too close.
Professor, I beg you, let me see these notes!
No! My work now and it's application, lies exclusively in the preservation of life. I abandoned my researches many years ago.
Why?
Because they resulted in abomination.
