controversial biologist Dr. Robert Edwards. So, Dr. Edwards, what do you think
of Professor Watson's claim that what you're doing here
is extremely dangerous? That it may lead to a future
in which humans could be manufactured? You make us sound
like we're making... sausages. This is one of
our leading scientists, who, with DNA, made one of the key discoveries
of our age, whereas you, with all due respect, seem to have
promised a lot and delivered... very little. I'm not dismissing
James Watson or his achievements. So is this all
just about stirring the pot? - Are you... just seeking attention?
- No. No. No. Consider spectacles
or... or false teeth. - That's what we're...
- Bloody spectacles
