Transcript
00:00Everyone stop! The mouse just escaped and I'd only just got her pregnant.
00:04Dr. Edwards, Gene Purdy. I'm here about the lab manager's post.
00:078am, don't be late. We have an obstetrician to catch.
00:11Mr. Steptoe will be an excellent member of our team.
00:14This team which you've not yet explained to me.
00:16Oh, we're going to help make babies.
00:19I've shocked you.
00:20Making babies in test tubes!
00:23You truly believe you can do that?
00:25We're making the impossible possible.
00:28We are. You'll see.
00:34You're aware we will unite the world against us?
00:39What you're doing is disgusting.
00:42I'm helping people, mum.
00:43Doesn't make it right.
00:47Is it in the interest of science?
00:49Yes.
00:49Infertility is a scientific problem.
00:51It only affects a very small number of women.
00:53Small number?
00:58Women presume we can have children.
01:01There is a biological and social expectation.
01:04Nothing can make that absence worse.
01:07I'm very sorry.
01:09But we have the possibility of making it better.
01:16There have been women here before you.
01:18I just want a baby.
01:20And there will be women here after you.
01:22But without you, none of this works.
01:27Wait.
01:28What? Why?
01:29It's our first. It's all.
01:31First of many.
01:50I dislike having to decide who will get help and who will not.
01:55But what we're doing, it matters.
02:03I've got a message for you, sir.
02:04Pregnancy test positive.
02:06I just want to say congratulations.
02:08Oh, she's not pregnant.
02:09We've made someone else pregnant.
02:11And it's bloody brilliant.
