"Behold, a Lady...."

"My God it worked."

"God had nothing to do with it."

"Have you thought of the moral implications"

"I only think of our survival, of the species survival."

"We can not ignore what she will go through. We have to think about her, about what time and experience will reveal to her- unless. She does have all the faculties of a ...normal woman?" 

"Yes, I do not have the means, here, to limit cognitive functions without also affecting the offspring. She has all the capacities of the human woman."

"You mean to say that had you the ability--"

"I mean to say that she is completely normal in as much as a woman constructed in a lab can be."

"That is not an answer."

"That is all I will give! Mr. Hapsis, I ask you to remember what we are about here. We can not indulge in the dialogue of philosophers. We have not been given a choice. She is the currency by which we pay for survival. And I tell you, I think survival has come cheap. One life sacrificed, one life given. Have you no perspective? Can you not even fathom what she will become. The second mother to her species. She is the second coming of Eve. And I will crush under heel, any serpent in my garden."
