Andrew Martin

00:00:16.391 --> 00:00:19.475

I've always tried to make sense of things

00:00:20.562 --> 00:00:24.144

There must be some reason I am as I am

00:00:26.693 --> 00:00:31.853

As you can see Madam Chairman I am no longer immortal

00:00:34.659 --> 00:00:36.782

You have arranged to die

00:00:37.245 --> 00:00:39.001

In a sense I have

00:00:41.124 --> 00:00:45.371

I am growing old and my body is deteriorating

00:00:47.339 --> 00:00:51.882

And like all of you it'll eventually cease to function

00:00:55.998 --> 00:00:58.133

As a robot I could have lived forever

00:01:01.728 --> 00:01:05.001

But I tell you all today I would rather die a man

00:01:07.999 --> 00:01:10.645

than live for all eternity as a machine

00:01:14.991 --> 00:01:16.818

Why do you want this

00:01:19.994 --> 00:01:23.999

To be acknowledged for who and what I am

00:01:24.876 --> 00:01:26.667

no more no less

00:01:28.001 --> 00:01:31.001

not for acclaim not for approval

00:01:32.801 --> 00:01:35.047

but the simple truth of that recognition

00:01:36.554 --> 00:01:40.002

This has been the elemental drive of my existence

00:01:40.999 --> 00:01:42.001

And it must be achieved

00:01:43.007 --> 00:01:47.001

if I am to live or die with dignity

00:02:00.999 --> 00:02:02.863

What you're asking for is

00:02:04.541 --> 00:02:07.999

extremely complex and controversial

00:02:08.999 --> 00:02:10.869

It will not be an easy decision

00:02:11.715 --> 00:02:13.999

I must ask for your patience

00:02:14.999 --> 00:02:17.999

while I take the necessary time to make a determination

00:02:17.262 --> 00:02:20.999

of this extremely delicate matter

00:02:23.768 --> 00:02:26.001

Then I await your decision Madame Chairman

00:02:31.001 --> 00:02:33.982

Thank you for your patience

00:02:38.999 --> 00:02:39.999

We tried

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.494

اندرو مارتن

00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.475

انا اعتدت ان استكشف الاشياء

00:00:20.561 --> 00:00:24.144

هذا لاننى كما انا

00:00:26.692 --> 00:00:31.853

كما ترىسيدتى الرئيسة لم اعد خالد

00:00:34.659 --> 00:00:36.782

انت خططت لتموت

00:00:37.245 --> 00:00:39.001

فى الحقيقة نعم

00:00:41.123 --> 00:00:45.037

انا اكبر فى السن وجسمى يتحلل

00:00:47.338 --> 00:00:51.881

ومثلكم جميعا فى النهايه سيتوقف عن العمل

00:00:55.012 --> 00:00:58.132

ليس كروبوت يعيش للابد

00:01:01.727 --> 00:01:05.001

لكن ساخبركم اليوم افضل الموت كانسان

00:01:07.441 --> 00:01:10.645

عن الحياة كآلة

00:01:14.991 --> 00:01:16.999

لماذا تريد ذلك

00:01:19.003 --> 00:01:23.325

ليعرف الجميع ماذا ومن اكون

00:01:24.876 --> 00:01:26.667

ليس اكثر او اقل

00:01:28.001 --> 00:01:31.167

ليس للتصفيق والهتاف

00:01:32.008 --> 00:01:35.999

لكن الحقيقة البسيطة فى هذا الاعتراف

00:01:36.554 --> 00:01:40.997

ان اعبر عن وجودى

00:01:40.999 --> 00:01:42.001

ولابد ان احقق ذلك

00:01:43.002 --> 00:01:47.001

ان اعيش واموت بكرامة

00:02:00.953 --> 00:02:02.999

ما تطلبه

00:02:04.001 --> 00:02:07.999

معقد جدا

00:02:08.001 --> 00:02:10.999

وليس بقرار سهل

00:02:11.714 --> 00:02:13.999

لابد ان تكون صبورا

00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:17.999

حتى احدد فى الوقت المناسب حتى اصدر الحكم

00:02:17.261 --> 00:02:20.999

فى هذا الشىء المعقد

00:02:23.768 --> 00:02:26.001

حسنا سانتظر قرارك سيدتى الرئيسة

00:02:31.001 --> 00:02:33.999

شكرا لصبرك

00:02:38.999 --> 00:02:39.999

لقد حاولنا

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.522

Andrew Martin

00:00:16.999 --> 00:00:20.177

J'ai toujours essayé de comprendre les choses

00:00:20.307 --> 00:00:23.786

Il doit y avoir une raison pour que je sois qui je suis

00:00:26.222 --> 00:00:28.743

Comme vous pouvez le voir Madame la Présidente

00:00:28.787 --> 00:00:32.614

Je ne suis plus immortel

00:00:34.527 --> 00:00:37.026

Vous vous êtes arrangé pour mourir

00:00:37.136 --> 00:00:40.092

Dans un sens oui

00:00:40.964 --> 00:00:45.964

Je vieillis et mon corps se détériore

00:00:47.225 --> 00:00:49.964

et comme vous tous

00:00:50.027 --> 00:00:52.921

je cesserai un jour de fonctionner

00:00:54.835 --> 00:00:59.401

Comme un robot j'aurais pu vivre pour toujours

00:01:01.314 --> 00:01:04.002

Mais je vous le dis à tous aujourd'hui

00:01:04.185 --> 00:01:07.001

je préfère mourir comme un homme

00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:11.062

que vivre toute l'éternité comme une machine

00:01:14.001 --> 00:01:16.622

Pourquoi faites vous cette demande

00:01:18.883 --> 00:01:21.001

Pour être reconnu

00:01:21.999 --> 00:01:24.449

pour ce que je suis

00:01:24.058 --> 00:01:28.997

ni plus ni moins

00:01:28.102 --> 00:01:32.019

Pas pour reçevoir des louanges ni des approbations

00:01:32.276 --> 00:01:36.999

La simple vérité de cette reconnaissance

00:01:36.999 --> 00:01:40.001

cela a été le moteur essentiel de mon existence

00:01:40.843 --> 00:01:46.366

et cela doit être achevé si je veux vivre ou mourir

00:01:46.453 --> 00:01:49.584

avec dignité

00:01:57.455 --> 00:01:59.999

Mr Martin

00:02:00.089 --> 00:02:04.456

ce que vous demandez est

00:02:04.005 --> 00:02:07.544

extrèmement complexe et controversé

00:02:07.001 --> 00:02:10.001

Ca ne sera pas une décision facile

00:02:10.999 --> 00:02:14.154

Je dois vous demander de faire preuve de patience

00:02:14.197 --> 00:02:17.999

le temps que nous prenions notre décision

00:02:17.155 --> 00:02:21.721

sur cette affaire extrèmement délicate

00:02:23.999 --> 00:02:26.852

J'attends votre décision Madame la Présidente

00:02:31.999 --> 00:02:34.094

Merci de votre patience

00:02:38.001 --> 00:02:41.081

On aura essayé

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.501

Andrew Martin

00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.477

Ich habe immer versucht den Sinn der Dinge zu verstehen

00:00:20.561 --> 00:00:24.148

Es muss einen Grund geben dafür warum ich bin wie ich bin

00:00:26.692 --> 00:00:31.822

Wie Sie sehen verehrte Vorsitzende bin ich nicht mehr unsterblich

00:00:34.658 --> 00:00:36.786

Sie haben lhren Tod vorbereitet

00:00:37.244 --> 00:00:39.997

In gewissem Sinne ja

00:00:41.123 --> 00:00:45.378

Ich werde alt und mein Körper verfällt

00:00:47.338 --> 00:00:51.884

Und wie bei Ihnen allen wird er letztlich seinen Geist aufgeben

00:00:55.012 --> 00:00:58.014

Als Roboter hätte ich ewig leben können

00:01:01.727 --> 00:01:05.815

Aber ich sage Ihnen heute allen ich möchte lieber als Mensch sterben

00:01:07.441 --> 00:01:10.001

als ewig als Maschine weiterzuleben

00:01:14.999 --> 00:01:16.999

Warum wollen Sie das

00:01:19.003 --> 00:01:23.999

Um anerkannt zu werden als das und wer ich bin

00:01:24.875 --> 00:01:26.669

nicht mehr nicht weniger

00:01:28.001 --> 00:01:31.173

nicht für Beifall noch Zustimmung

00:01:32.008 --> 00:01:35.999

nur für die einfache Wahrheit dieser Anerkennung

00:01:36.554 --> 00:01:40.002

Das war der wesentliche Antrieb meines Daseins

00:01:40.999 --> 00:01:42.081

Und das muss ich erreichen

00:01:43.002 --> 00:01:47.148

damit ich mit Würde leben oder sterben kann

00:02:00.953 --> 00:02:02.872

Was Sie sich erbitten

00:02:04.001 --> 00:02:07.209

ist extrem komplex und umstritten

00:02:08.001 --> 00:02:10.999

Es wird keine einfache Entscheidung

00:02:11.714 --> 00:02:13.001

Ich muss Sie um Geduld bitten

00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:17.178

während ich mir die für eine derart delikate Entscheidung

00:02:17.261 --> 00:02:20.001

erforderliche Zeit nehme

00:02:23.768 --> 00:02:26.999

Dann warte ich lhre Entscheidung ab verehrte Vorsitzende

00:02:31.001 --> 00:02:33.999

Danke für lhre Geduld

00:02:38.001 --> 00:02:39.999

Wir haben es versucht

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.752

Andrew Martin

00:00:16.349 --> 00:00:20.478

Siempre he tratado de comprender las cosas

00:00:20.562 --> 00:00:24.315

Debe de haber una razón por la que soy como soy

00:00:26.086 --> 00:00:31.001

Como ve Señora Presidenta ya no soy

00:00:31.614 --> 00:00:32.907

inmortal

00:00:34.742 --> 00:00:36.786

Ha hecho arreglos para morir

00:00:37.037 --> 00:00:39.873

En cierto sentido sí

00:00:41.124 --> 00:00:42.834

Estoy envejeciendo

00:00:42.876 --> 00:00:46.504

y mi cuerpo se está deteriorando

00:00:47.338 --> 00:00:49.174

Y como el de todos ustedes

00:00:50.383 --> 00:00:53.261

tarde o temprano dejará de funcionar

00:00:54.888 --> 00:00:56.473

Como un robot

00:00:56.556 --> 00:00:59.225

yo podía haber vivido para siempre

00:01:01.519 --> 00:01:04.001

Pero yo les digo a todos el día de hoy

00:01:04.023 --> 00:01:06.483

que prefiero morir hombre

00:01:07.999 --> 00:01:11.446

que vivir toda la eternidad como una máquina

00:01:15.116 --> 00:01:16.091

Por qué quiere eso

00:01:19.006 --> 00:01:20.747

Porque quiero que me reconozcan

00:01:21.372 --> 00:01:24.334

como lo que soy

00:01:24.876 --> 00:01:27.504

ni más ni menos

00:01:28.999 --> 00:01:31.001

no por fama no por aprobación

00:01:32.509 --> 00:01:35.386

sino por la simple verdad de ese reconocimiento

00:01:36.001 --> 00:01:40.999

Este ha sido el impulso elemental de mi existencia

00:01:40.934 --> 00:01:44.187

Y lo debo de lograr si he de vivir

00:01:44.938 --> 00:01:46.993

o morir

00:01:46.773 --> 00:01:48.001

con dignidad

00:02:00.995 --> 00:02:03.001

Lo que Ud está pidiendo

00:02:04.624 --> 00:02:07.877

es extremadamente complejo y controversial

00:02:08.001 --> 00:02:10.964

No será una decisión fácil

00:02:11.798 --> 00:02:14.999

Le debo pedir paciencia

00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:17.345

mientras tomo el tiempo suficiente para tomar una decisión

00:02:17.428 --> 00:02:21.999

sobre esta tan extremadamente delicada cuestión

00:02:23.768 --> 00:02:27.999

Entonces aguardo su decisión Sra Presidenta

00:02:31.001 --> 00:02:34.999

Gracias por su paciencia

00:02:38.999 --> 00:02:39.999

Hicimos el intento
