a movie came out that you may be

a movie came out that you may be familiar with Jurassic Park now try to

familiar with Jurassic Park now try to

familiar with Jurassic Park now try to think about the scene in the auditorium

think about the scene in the auditorium

think about the scene in the auditorium where Richard Attenborough is explaining

where Richard Attenborough is explaining

where Richard Attenborough is explaining how his character created the dinosaur

how his character created the dinosaur

how his character created the dinosaur and if you didn’t know he didn’t

and if you didn’t know he didn’t

and if you didn’t know he didn’t necessarily create the dinosaurs but he

necessarily create the dinosaurs but he

necessarily create the dinosaurs but he cloned them by using blood from that era

cloned them by using blood from that era

cloned them by using blood from that era and duplicating its DNA likewise a movie

and duplicating its DNA likewise a movie

and duplicating its DNA likewise a movie called Gattaca predicts the future if we

brother no one cares if you’re black or

brother no one cares if you’re black or white but when your DNA says about you I

white but when your DNA says about you I

white but when your DNA says about you I don’t know about you but personally I

don’t know about you but personally I

don’t know about you but personally I wouldn’t want to live in a society where

those are both fictional movies I mean

those are both fictional movies I mean we have no idea what life would be like

we have no idea what life would be like

we have no idea what life would be like if we did continue genetic engineering

if we did continue genetic engineering

if we did continue genetic engineering or cloning in real life would people

or cloning in real life would people

or cloning in real life would people become genetically genetically modified

become genetically genetically modified

become genetically genetically modified would we start seeing dinosaurs locked

would we start seeing dinosaurs locked

would we start seeing dinosaurs locked up in cages at the Bronx Zoo and that’s

when I said enough with whatis and I

when I said enough with whatis and I wanted answers that’s when I knew I want
