Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:02,760
There's no hope?
2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,240
Well, there's always hope.
3
00:00:05,660 --> 00:00:07,860
But I won't lie to you.
4
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:12,260
When the leukemia comes back post
-transplant, it's terminal.
5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,440
He's going to die.
6
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:16,800
That's my medical opinion, yes.
7
00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:18,340
How long?
8
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:20,380
They're saying six months.
9
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:23,340
They?
10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,760
The oncologist, the radiologist, all the
doctors that we've been talking to.
11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,680
I'm sorry. I wish...
12
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:34,960
It's the longest.
13
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:37,160
Yes.
14
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:40,420
What's the shortest?
15
00:00:42,660 --> 00:00:46,340
Um, it could be two or three.
16
00:00:50,580 --> 00:00:51,580
Let's do this.
17
00:01:03,310 --> 00:01:04,930
Bobby, come on in.
18
00:01:08,910 --> 00:01:09,910
Have a seat, son.
19
00:01:17,150 --> 00:01:19,410
I'm going to die. The cancer's back.
20
00:02:27,010 --> 00:02:31,170
All right, ten minutes before the bell,
time for question of the day. Who has a
21
00:02:31,170 --> 00:02:32,170
question?
22
00:02:32,770 --> 00:02:33,770
Ah, Bobby.
23
00:02:34,130 --> 00:02:36,370
Yes. What happens when you die?
24
00:02:37,870 --> 00:02:41,190
Ah, that's not a very fun question, I
don't think.
25
00:02:41,450 --> 00:02:43,350
Well, I'd like to know the answer,
please.
26
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:46,370
If you ask your parents, they make you
sound like dead in your world.
27
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:48,270
But I know it couldn't be like that.
28
00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:50,510
So, that's my question.
29
00:02:50,950 --> 00:02:52,410
What really happens when you die?
30
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:54,030
All right.
31
00:02:54,580 --> 00:02:56,300
Who'd like to respond to Bobby's
question?
32
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,540
Ah, Cynthia.
33
00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:00,020
God help us.
34
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,140
Yes. When you die, first I'd like to say
that's an excellent question. The best
35
00:03:05,140 --> 00:03:06,140
one we've had this week.
36
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:08,580
Next to mine, of course, about Maxwell
House coffee.
37
00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:11,860
We do want to know what's wrong with
that last drop.
38
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,220
Well, I think we agreed, Cynthia, that
that'll remain one of life's darkest
39
00:03:16,220 --> 00:03:19,320
mysteries. Now, if you'd like to address
Bobby's question.
40
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,540
Yes. When you die, things happen to the
body and soul.
41
00:03:24,010 --> 00:03:25,010
First, the body.
42
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:28,530
You get buried in your best suit because
you want to look nice at the wake where
43
00:03:28,530 --> 00:03:29,830
everybody comes to stare you dead.
44
00:03:30,490 --> 00:03:34,110
Then, after the funeral, the maggots eat
your flesh, leaving nothing but bone.
45
00:03:34,410 --> 00:03:36,310
This is why you're laid on your side in
the ground.
46
00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:38,510
So when you're nothing but bone, your
pants stay on.
47
00:03:39,170 --> 00:03:42,570
Now, your soul goes to heaven if you're
good, to hell if you're bad.
48
00:03:42,870 --> 00:03:46,030
There are a lot of different rules when
it comes to good and bad. I only know
49
00:03:46,030 --> 00:03:47,030
two so far.
50
00:03:47,450 --> 00:03:48,890
Don't ever smoke cigarettes.
51
00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:51,030
And don't ever touch a penis.
52
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:52,830
That's very bad.
53
00:03:54,030 --> 00:03:56,930
Thank you for your in -depth analysis,
Cynthia.
54
00:03:57,670 --> 00:03:58,850
I hadn't finished.
55
00:03:59,250 --> 00:04:02,110
Well, you've given us more than enough
to ponder.
56
00:04:02,490 --> 00:04:05,630
Let's go on now to another question. We
still have a few minutes.
57
00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:08,270
Zachary.
58
00:04:08,670 --> 00:04:11,530
How come grown -ups never tell us the
truth about death?
59
00:04:27,710 --> 00:04:28,710
What's going on?
60
00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:32,510
My clients went to see Carter, then they
came to see me.
61
00:04:32,910 --> 00:04:34,090
Now we come to you.
62
00:04:34,690 --> 00:04:35,790
Judge Bone is next.
63
00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:37,150
Your clients?
64
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:41,710
Jill, given the condition of Bobby
Hutton, it might make sense to put him
65
00:04:41,710 --> 00:04:45,350
hypothermia now, before the disease...
Carter! There's been a lot of recent
66
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:48,170
progress in cryonics. It's conceivable
that ten years down the road... There's
67
00:04:48,170 --> 00:04:51,350
no scientific evidence that a person can
be frozen and then brought back to
68
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:54,900
life. I certainly hope that Dr. Pike is
not represented to you in any way. All
69
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:57,860
I've represented is that it's a genetic
possibility. Dr. Pike!
70
00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:05,180
Cryonics is a theory. It isn't even
close to reality.
71
00:05:05,460 --> 00:05:09,340
I understand that, Jill. But the reality
is that Bobby will be dead in six
72
00:05:09,340 --> 00:05:10,340
months.
73
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,560
We're not big fans of reality.
74
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,460
Well, first of all, it's suicide.
75
00:05:13,820 --> 00:05:16,800
And it's against the law. Leave the
legals to me.
76
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:18,880
We're going to see Judge Bone.
77
00:05:19,470 --> 00:05:21,750
I think we got a shot and we want you to
go with us.
78
00:05:22,770 --> 00:05:23,870
Why? What can I do?
79
00:05:24,090 --> 00:05:28,710
Well, you can admit as a doctor of
Western medicine that life suspension is
80
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:31,950
possibility in our future. No, then get
a cryonics expert.
81
00:05:32,210 --> 00:05:33,930
I'm not... We already have seven.
82
00:05:34,610 --> 00:05:37,030
The AG's office will have their experts,
too.
83
00:05:37,570 --> 00:05:40,450
Judge Bone will eventually want to hear
from Dr. C. Trust.
84
00:05:40,890 --> 00:05:44,310
That's Carter and you. All you have to
do is admit that it's possible.
85
00:05:47,930 --> 00:05:48,930
No.
86
00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:50,210
Jill, what's the harm?
87
00:05:50,730 --> 00:05:53,030
If it offers a fraction of hope, then
why not?
88
00:05:53,930 --> 00:05:57,810
I'm sorry, Julia, but I will not walk
into a courtroom and ask Judge Bone to
89
00:05:57,810 --> 00:05:59,030
your son into a freezer.
90
00:05:59,630 --> 00:06:04,990
I will not do that. So what? We should
just stand by and let the leukemia run
91
00:06:04,990 --> 00:06:05,769
its course?
92
00:06:05,770 --> 00:06:07,350
No, I told you.
93
00:06:07,690 --> 00:06:12,270
I want to start some transfusions. I
want to start him on prednisone. I want
94
00:06:12,270 --> 00:06:13,270
schedule some radiation.
95
00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:15,710
I want to maybe then aspirate the bone
marrow.
96
00:06:16,090 --> 00:06:17,230
You said that it's fatal.
97
00:06:17,930 --> 00:06:20,550
All you can do with medicine is buy him
six months.
98
00:06:24,430 --> 00:06:25,510
Forget it. She's out.
99
00:06:26,290 --> 00:06:27,290
We're going without her.
100
00:06:34,130 --> 00:06:35,570
Talk to them about death.
101
00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:38,210
They're asking about it, and I don't
know what to say.
102
00:06:38,730 --> 00:06:41,450
The Bambi's in a better place routine
doesn't work anymore.
103
00:06:41,750 --> 00:06:45,390
Well, I just don't think we should be
filling the minds of nine -year -olds
104
00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:49,810
all this talk of dying. Their minds are
already filled with it. Kids obsessed on
105
00:06:49,810 --> 00:06:53,150
it. You can't pick up a newspaper or
hear the news without hearing about
106
00:06:53,150 --> 00:06:54,150
somebody dying.
107
00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:55,450
But look at these articles.
108
00:06:55,850 --> 00:06:58,890
Teenagers today are thinking more about
their funeral than their wedding day.
109
00:06:59,130 --> 00:07:03,690
Death and dying is in the mindset of our
youth, and we have got to deal with it.
110
00:07:03,830 --> 00:07:07,090
Call Father Barrett. He has a killer
afterlife sermon.
111
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,720
I even plagiarized part of it for Easter
service.
112
00:07:09,940 --> 00:07:13,220
They're still laughing at him over the
shoe business. You're the minister.
113
00:07:13,380 --> 00:07:16,560
You're on the school committee. They
should be hearing it from you.
114
00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:20,880
Have you completely lost your mind?
115
00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:22,220
Not completely, Judge.
116
00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:26,240
You want a court order allowing a child
to be frozen?
117
00:07:26,540 --> 00:07:30,480
To preserve him till medical science can
one day cure his illness.
118
00:07:30,780 --> 00:07:33,640
At which point you plan to thaw him out.
119
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Exactly.
120
00:07:35,340 --> 00:07:37,560
Leukemia could take Bobby Hutton, that's
a certainty.
121
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,900
Cryonics could save him, that's a
possibility.
122
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,360
We're asking the court to favor the
possibility of life over the certainty
123
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:47,359
death.
124
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,880
Mr. Beale, do you have a response?
125
00:07:50,620 --> 00:07:55,120
Actually, your honor, it's difficult for
me to even speak.
126
00:07:55,820 --> 00:07:59,940
The last time I was called to Rome, your
hospital wanted to take the heart of an
127
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:02,280
Alzheimer's patient and give it to
somebody else.
128
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,380
You denied that request.
129
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,320
And since then, I've learned that the
gentleman with Alzheimer's has been made
130
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,360
the mayor of this community.
131
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,920
Now I've been dispatched here again
because you're endeavoring to turn a
132
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,120
-year -old boy into a science
experiment.
133
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,080
Let's leave off the sarcasm, counsel,
and address the... Actually, in this
134
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,600
Your Honor, I'd like my sarcasm to be on
the record. Judge, I admit that this is
135
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:27,600
a desperate measure.
136
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:30,100
Bobby Hutton is, in fact, also
desperate.
137
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,340
Well, if you want to freeze him after he
dies, fine.
138
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:34,940
But I can't find any way... Then it'll
be too late.
139
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,440
Leukemia will destroy his body. His only
chance is to be frozen now.
140
00:08:39,659 --> 00:08:43,159
There is a law against the... There's
always a law, isn't there?
141
00:08:43,820 --> 00:08:48,000
If cryonics can offer hope to Bobby
Hutton, let's give it to him. Damn the
142
00:08:48,140 --> 00:08:49,140
This is Rome!
143
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:52,940
Cryonics does not offer him any real
hope. It has no chance... That's a
144
00:08:52,940 --> 00:08:53,940
for the experts.
145
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,340
Let's hear from the experts.
146
00:08:55,820 --> 00:08:57,620
Let's see if that hope exists.
147
00:08:59,420 --> 00:09:00,420
Ten o 'clock tomorrow.
148
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,940
I'll hear from your doctors.
149
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,360
Adjourned.
150
00:09:09,660 --> 00:09:10,660
What's wrong with you?
151
00:09:10,980 --> 00:09:11,859
Excuse me?
152
00:09:11,860 --> 00:09:13,680
Pumping up grieving parents with
cryonics?
153
00:09:14,110 --> 00:09:17,750
They came to me. You're a doctor. You're
subject to the Hippocratic Oath. The
154
00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:20,310
first rule being do no harm, and you
counsel suicide.
155
00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:25,250
You asked me about cryonics. I explained
it. I did not recommend it. I did not
156
00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:28,970
counsel suicide, and your prejudices
against science aside, don't you ever
157
00:09:28,970 --> 00:09:33,570
charge into my office again attacking me
as a doctor. As a doctor, you have a
158
00:09:33,570 --> 00:09:37,930
moral duty. The Hippocratic Oath is
about survival, clinging to life. That
159
00:09:37,930 --> 00:09:41,330
principle is completely served by
cryonics. No, it's perverse. It's
160
00:09:41,330 --> 00:09:43,660
nature. You want nature, Jill? Here.
161
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,720
That's death.
162
00:09:46,780 --> 00:09:47,800
That's perverse.
163
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,620
You're the shock tactic, Carter.
164
00:09:50,420 --> 00:09:52,280
Cryonics is medical experimentation.
165
00:09:52,940 --> 00:09:57,000
The kid is dying. Because he's meant to
die, Carter. We're not going to change
166
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,420
that. Maybe we can. No, I'm not going to
sit back while you and your ghouls turn
167
00:10:00,420 --> 00:10:04,020
a nine -year -old kid into an experiment
for the science fair just so you can
168
00:10:04,020 --> 00:10:06,200
sit around the pool bragging at your
coroner's convention.
169
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,320
You self -righteous, arrogant, narrow
-minded bitch.
170
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:11,879
That's right.
171
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,760
I said it. If you come up with a way to
save Bobby Hutton, I'll back off. Until
172
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,020
then, how dare you tell me or anybody
else not to try?
173
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,460
By resurrection, we don't really mean
the raising of the physical body.
174
00:10:29,380 --> 00:10:30,380
It's spiritual.
175
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:31,960
That wasn't my question.
176
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:36,220
Does the soul float up as soon as you
die, or do you have to go to a mortician
177
00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:37,220
first?
178
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,100
As soon as you die, your soul goes
straight to heaven.
179
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,680
Can the soul go to hell?
180
00:10:43,340 --> 00:10:47,200
Well, Zach, we don't actually think of
heaven or hell as a physical place.
181
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,600
What's going on?
182
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,260
All right, that's enough.
183
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,100
The kids don't trust what I talk.
184
00:10:57,460 --> 00:10:59,440
They think you're hiding the truth.
185
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,780
We know there's a hell unless you're
Jewish.
186
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,040
Especially if you smoke cigarettes or
touch penises. My aunt did both.
187
00:11:11,780 --> 00:11:15,020
Kids, there's one rule across the boards
in all religions.
188
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,880
Kids go to heaven. I mean, you're not
old enough to go to hell.
189
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:23,500
Even Catholic hell, which you all know,
has a much bigger occupancy.
190
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:25,520
Henry.
191
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:33,360
Sorry. I'm supposed to die of leukemia,
so my
192
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,660
parents want to freeze me instead.
193
00:11:35,260 --> 00:11:37,400
What? It's called cryonics.
194
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,760
They drain my blood and put me in a
frozen tub.
195
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,660
When they come with the cure, they
defrost me and bring me back to life.
196
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,460
Is he making that up? No.
197
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,920
His parents are in court right now.
198
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,440
I gotta know.
199
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,580
Will I be in heaven when I'm frozen?
200
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,800
And then when they thaw me out, will my
soul come back to my body?
201
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,180
The technology for reanimation is almost
here.
202
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,300
Objection. This man has no foundation in
cryonics.
203
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,060
He's a medical doctor who specializes in
corpses, and he does understand.
204
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:16,600
I want to hear from a molecular
biologist, not a medical examiner. I'm
205
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,960
a medical examiner. Quiet!
206
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,060
I want you to hear from Carter first.
207
00:12:20,260 --> 00:12:22,960
My experts will back him up. Well, let's
cut to it.
208
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,760
How do you freeze somebody and bring him
back to living?
209
00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:28,860
Okay, first of all, Judge, we already do
it to a lesser extent.
210
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,840
In operations, we put patients into deep
hypothermia sometimes, usually to stop
211
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,900
blood flow during transplant.
212
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,380
So it's already being done.
213
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,140
Mm -hmm, for half an hour, maybe.
214
00:12:37,910 --> 00:12:40,590
That's a little different than freezing
somebody for 20 years.
215
00:12:40,850 --> 00:12:45,070
Once the engineers develop the genetic
technology to repair individual cells in
216
00:12:45,070 --> 00:12:48,570
the body, they'll be able to freeze
people and then reanimate them years
217
00:12:48,850 --> 00:12:51,410
And how long, Doctor, before this
technology exists?
218
00:12:51,850 --> 00:12:55,250
Well, there's no telling. Genetic
breakthroughs are happening every day
219
00:12:55,250 --> 00:12:55,889
the world.
220
00:12:55,890 --> 00:12:59,710
We thought we'd never be able to cure
leukemia, but now we could have a cure
221
00:12:59,710 --> 00:13:00,689
less than 10 years.
222
00:13:00,690 --> 00:13:04,030
And at that point, you could hit the
frost and bring Bobby Hutton back?
223
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,960
I know it sounds like voodoo, but the
day is coming when we will be able to
224
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,680
revive frozen people, maybe even a
hundred years later.
225
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,340
That may scare you. It scares me, but
the day is coming.
226
00:13:26,540 --> 00:13:29,860
If you all talk at once, I can't
separate you from the voices in my head.
227
00:13:29,980 --> 00:13:32,460
Sending a minister to talk about death,
it's outrageous.
228
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:33,940
They're small children.
229
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,920
Religion shouldn't be in the schools
anyway.
230
00:13:36,220 --> 00:13:40,640
All right, settle down. I'll talk to the
principal and the minister.
231
00:13:41,580 --> 00:13:42,600
But let me ask you.
232
00:13:43,140 --> 00:13:45,220
Do you talk to your children about
death?
233
00:13:45,780 --> 00:13:46,780
No.
234
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:48,380
Well, don't you think you should?
235
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,760
No, I don't think you should.
236
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,460
Well, if parents don't discuss the
subject, maybe the school should.
237
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,560
Death is not an appropriate subject.
238
00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:02,920
My God, these are innocent little
children.
239
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,900
How should we kill him?
240
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,460
We'll put him in the freezer.
241
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:08,900
That's how chronics works.
242
00:14:09,780 --> 00:14:11,600
Shouldn't we make him unconscious first?
243
00:14:12,180 --> 00:14:13,200
He'll be so cold.
244
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,960
Frogs are cold -blooded. I don't think
it'll bother him.
245
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:17,720
Okay.
246
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,960
Bye, Ross.
247
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,480
See you when you thaw out.
248
00:14:21,060 --> 00:14:22,400
Will he come back to life?
249
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:24,380
He should. It works with fish.
250
00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:25,990
Bye, Ross.
251
00:14:31,470 --> 00:14:32,670
He sounds mad.
252
00:14:33,850 --> 00:14:34,850
He's okay.
253
00:14:36,070 --> 00:14:37,730
I think he wants out.
254
00:14:39,970 --> 00:14:43,190
You know, I have to admit, at first I
thought this was ridiculous, but this
255
00:14:43,190 --> 00:14:47,170
cryonic technology, it could actually
exist one day.
256
00:14:47,610 --> 00:14:48,770
It really shouldn't be a surprise.
257
00:14:49,070 --> 00:14:52,870
Years ago, if your heart stopped, you
were dead. Now we can restart it and
258
00:14:52,870 --> 00:14:55,970
revive people from clinical death. Even
brain death can be reversed sometimes.
259
00:14:56,410 --> 00:15:02,730
And I've been reading they're already
freezing embryos and corneas, heart
260
00:15:02,730 --> 00:15:06,250
valves, all of which can be brought back
to life. And in 20 years, we might be
261
00:15:06,250 --> 00:15:07,250
able to do that to a brain.
262
00:15:07,490 --> 00:15:12,210
So, assuming that this genetic progress
continues, we might actually be able to
263
00:15:12,210 --> 00:15:16,110
cure not only leukemia, but many other,
if not...
264
00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:17,350
All diseases.
265
00:15:18,050 --> 00:15:19,050
It's possible.
266
00:15:19,370 --> 00:15:22,470
Huh. Well, what about aging?
267
00:15:23,190 --> 00:15:26,590
Does the genetic potential exist to
reverse the aging process?
268
00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:32,370
Hard to say, but given the developments
in genetic technology,
269
00:15:32,610 --> 00:15:36,470
no credible scientist could really rule
out the possibility.
270
00:15:36,730 --> 00:15:40,790
You know, I got a real problem with
getting older myself.
271
00:15:41,250 --> 00:15:45,650
When I'm 50, I might want to be frozen
to wait for...
272
00:15:46,190 --> 00:15:48,190
I don't know, the aging cure.
273
00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:50,410
I would do that.
274
00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:51,990
I don't want to get old.
275
00:15:53,210 --> 00:15:58,690
You know, Your Honor, this is so
exciting. I'm going to stipulate right
276
00:15:58,690 --> 00:16:02,110
to all of the plaintiff's experts. We
don't have to waste the court's time
277
00:16:02,110 --> 00:16:03,190
listening to scientists.
278
00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:08,270
I'm going to stipulate that one day
cryonics will work and we will have the
279
00:16:08,270 --> 00:16:09,610
for leukemia. Think about it.
280
00:16:10,220 --> 00:16:12,220
People won't have to die from disease.
281
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:16,500
Nobody will have to die from old age if
they don't want to. Everybody, in either
282
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:19,980
real or suspended form, will live
forever.
283
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,020
Nobody has to die. It's fantastic.
284
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,760
I mean, if we can eliminate death, the
world will be a perfect place.
285
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,120
Right, Dr. Pike?
286
00:16:30,860 --> 00:16:31,860
Right?
287
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:38,180
Look, in the interest of public policy,
let's put Bobby in the freezer.
288
00:16:40,140 --> 00:16:41,140
Let's do it today.
289
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,600
Why won't you help him?
290
00:16:50,820 --> 00:16:55,100
I want to help him, honey, but I just
don't think that freezing him is help.
291
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,000
But if they invent a cure, he could live
longer.
292
00:16:58,860 --> 00:17:04,060
It's not God's plan for us to live like
that. To be stuck in liquid nitrogen and
293
00:17:04,060 --> 00:17:06,700
then defrosted umpteen years later,
that's not God's plan.
294
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:18,599
I know this is complicated, but we're
human beings, and when it's time to go,
295
00:17:18,780 --> 00:17:22,540
there comes a point when it's wrong to
deny death.
296
00:17:23,339 --> 00:17:24,339
Okay?
297
00:17:33,220 --> 00:17:34,220
God's plan?
298
00:17:34,660 --> 00:17:37,540
What? You wouldn't want the boy frozen
because of God?
299
00:17:38,730 --> 00:17:42,630
No, I wouldn't want the boy frozen
because that's effectively assisting
300
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:46,770
putting him in hypothermia. But you were
willing to help Howard Butts die when
301
00:17:46,770 --> 00:17:49,890
he wanted to give away his heart. You
supported that idea. No, that's
302
00:17:50,830 --> 00:17:51,830
Okay, why?
303
00:17:52,330 --> 00:17:54,610
Well, because that could work.
304
00:17:55,030 --> 00:17:57,670
Cryonics can't. If it could, would you
say yes?
305
00:18:00,050 --> 00:18:02,550
No, it's still perverted. Why?
306
00:18:04,890 --> 00:18:05,890
Why?
307
00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:09,600
Because he's trapped in nowhere.
308
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:10,599
He's frozen.
309
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,600
What?
310
00:18:12,060 --> 00:18:16,020
Okay, if we had taken Howard's heart, he
would have died, but he would have
311
00:18:16,020 --> 00:18:17,020
surrendered to death.
312
00:18:17,420 --> 00:18:22,760
Keeping a person frozen, suspended so
that you can bring him back, he's
313
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:23,840
in life or death.
314
00:18:24,180 --> 00:18:27,940
How can his spirit or his soul... What
are you talking about?
315
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:29,900
I don't know.
316
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:41,200
But, Jimmy, there's got to be some kind
of afterlife, right? And I think that
317
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,340
this cryonics voodoo would preempt that.
318
00:18:44,140 --> 00:18:47,080
You'd be suspended in nowhere forever.
319
00:18:47,740 --> 00:18:50,360
You wouldn't be in heaven and you
wouldn't be on earth.
320
00:18:51,180 --> 00:18:52,180
You'd be nowhere.
321
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,900
That's got to be worse than hell.
322
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,440
You really believe in heaven and hell?
323
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:00,920
Well, don't you?
324
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,240
I believe in God.
325
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:08,550
I believe that all of us have a
spiritual thing inside.
326
00:19:09,690 --> 00:19:11,330
But dead is dead.
327
00:19:12,210 --> 00:19:14,810
When you're gone, you're gone.
328
00:19:15,050 --> 00:19:16,650
How can you think that?
329
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:23,830
How can you, a doctor, make a medical
judgment based on your belief in an
330
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:28,170
afterlife? I'm not doing that. I'm
saying that medical science has a
331
00:19:28,170 --> 00:19:31,370
don't know where the line is, but
cryonics is on the other side of it. Uh
332
00:19:31,980 --> 00:19:35,360
Well, I believe everyone has a right to
their religious convictions.
333
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:41,680
But if my son gets ill, if that
contracts leukemia, and there is a
334
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,680
would freeze him?
335
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,400
I don't know.
336
00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:48,620
But I wouldn't say, let him die.
337
00:19:48,860 --> 00:19:51,580
It's God's plan, and I would like to
think you wouldn't.
338
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:01,440
I have an early appointment.
339
00:20:02,399 --> 00:20:03,620
Okay. Have a good day.
340
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:04,920
You too.
341
00:20:04,940 --> 00:20:05,940
Bye.
342
00:20:56,490 --> 00:21:00,210
I don't want you telling them about
souls leaving bodies. I don't want
343
00:21:00,210 --> 00:21:01,570
discussion of heaven and hell.
344
00:21:01,810 --> 00:21:05,690
Michael Oslo asked me to speak to them.
Well, I'm telling you not to.
345
00:21:05,970 --> 00:21:06,929
You too.
346
00:21:06,930 --> 00:21:08,010
I haven't said anything.
347
00:21:08,290 --> 00:21:09,490
It's only a matter of time.
348
00:21:09,830 --> 00:21:11,710
Well, Michael Oslo was right about one
thing.
349
00:21:12,090 --> 00:21:13,550
The kids think about death.
350
00:21:13,890 --> 00:21:17,270
I'll make sure there's somebody to talk
to them, but I want it to be secular.
351
00:21:17,490 --> 00:21:18,429
That's all.
352
00:21:18,430 --> 00:21:19,409
Thank you.
353
00:21:19,410 --> 00:21:20,810
Howard, we're in your office.
354
00:21:22,030 --> 00:21:23,070
Oh, never mind.
355
00:21:24,590 --> 00:21:26,430
Do you hear what's happening about this
Hutton boy?
356
00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:27,870
It's grotesque.
357
00:21:28,390 --> 00:21:30,270
Gary, we may have to speak up.
358
00:21:30,850 --> 00:21:34,710
If Judge Bowen even thinks about
granting that motion... Then we get
359
00:21:35,030 --> 00:21:36,030
But you'll listen.
360
00:21:36,310 --> 00:21:40,230
You picked a fine time to get caught
with your Imelda Marcos collection.
361
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:41,710
Don't you start.
362
00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:47,010
The problem is we don't have any real
credibility on this afterlife issue. Oh,
363
00:21:47,090 --> 00:21:48,810
we can preach all we want, but they
know.
364
00:21:49,290 --> 00:21:51,770
In the end, we're just guessing.
365
00:21:52,350 --> 00:21:53,450
Like everybody else.
366
00:21:56,490 --> 00:22:01,490
I don't want to die, but according to
the doctors, I guess I'm gonna.
367
00:22:02,270 --> 00:22:06,350
Must be scary to think of getting stuck
in an icebox, though. But I'm more
368
00:22:06,350 --> 00:22:07,470
scared of being dead forever.
369
00:22:07,970 --> 00:22:08,970
Why?
370
00:22:09,190 --> 00:22:13,310
Well, even if heaven is a great place, I
won't know anybody.
371
00:22:14,270 --> 00:22:16,530
Everybody I know, they're all alive.
372
00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:21,190
Except my grandfather, but my mom
doesn't think he got in.
373
00:22:21,710 --> 00:22:23,350
Are you afraid of being alone?
374
00:22:24,970 --> 00:22:29,970
When somebody dies, we all get sad
because he's gone and because we'll miss
375
00:22:30,470 --> 00:22:34,070
But for the person who dies, it's worse.
376
00:22:34,630 --> 00:22:35,910
He loses everybody.
377
00:22:36,450 --> 00:22:38,510
He has to miss everybody all at once.
378
00:22:39,570 --> 00:22:41,210
I want to keep living some more.
379
00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:43,190
I'd like to try cryonics.
380
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:45,030
Thank you, Bobby.
381
00:22:46,610 --> 00:22:47,610
Your witness.
382
00:22:56,590 --> 00:23:02,330
don't know much about heaven but they
say that you can still sort of see
383
00:23:02,330 --> 00:23:09,170
down here on earth have you ever heard
that yes but they can't see you is
384
00:23:09,170 --> 00:23:15,750
that important yes why because my
parents they won't be able to see me
385
00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:22,290
to them i'll be completely gone do you
think about how sad your parents will be
386
00:23:22,290 --> 00:23:25,710
if you die yes
387
00:23:26,830 --> 00:23:28,490
Do you worry about them being sad?
388
00:23:29,530 --> 00:23:30,530
Yes.
389
00:23:31,010 --> 00:23:37,810
Bobby, I know that these are very tough
questions, but I need you to
390
00:23:37,810 --> 00:23:42,650
really concentrate because the truth is
very important.
391
00:23:44,470 --> 00:23:50,410
Is one of the reasons that you want to
be frozen, is it because you're worried
392
00:23:50,410 --> 00:23:51,410
about your parents?
393
00:23:52,250 --> 00:23:54,250
Yes. Yeah.
394
00:23:54,810 --> 00:23:59,250
And if you had to make a guess, what
would you say upsets you more?
395
00:24:00,450 --> 00:24:03,150
Dying or making your parents sad?
396
00:24:06,010 --> 00:24:07,110
Making them sad.
397
00:24:07,630 --> 00:24:12,950
And the idea of cryonics, of being
frozen, whose idea was that?
398
00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:15,710
Mom and dad's.
399
00:24:16,430 --> 00:24:17,430
I see.
400
00:24:17,630 --> 00:24:18,630
Thank you.
401
00:24:19,930 --> 00:24:21,350
You're a very brave young man.
402
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:24,820
I have no further questions, Your Honor.
403
00:24:27,820 --> 00:24:30,300
You want me to talk to the fourth grade?
404
00:24:30,620 --> 00:24:31,439
You're a psychic.
405
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,100
You're on speaking terms with dead
people.
406
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:34,880
The kids will listen to what you say.
407
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,500
Have Kenny talk to them. He's been
there. Ginny, what do you mean he's been
408
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:40,500
there? Nothing.
409
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,420
You got a big mouth. Do you know that,
Ginny?
410
00:24:43,140 --> 00:24:44,140
Talk to the kids.
411
00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,120
Have you been dead before?
412
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,560
I must be sundowning again.
413
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:58,960
What was that about?
414
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,080
Nothing.
415
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,620
Well, what did Ginny mean when she said
you'd been there?
416
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,760
Last year when I was shot.
417
00:25:11,220 --> 00:25:13,680
Remember when the frogman's kid put a
bullet next to my heart?
418
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:22,180
When they were operating, for about five
seconds or so, I was suddenly above the
419
00:25:22,180 --> 00:25:25,740
table looking down at my body, watching
Jill reach for the bullet.
420
00:25:27,820 --> 00:25:29,500
Well, that could have been a
hallucination.
421
00:25:30,380 --> 00:25:32,440
That's what I thought. I asked Jill.
422
00:25:32,940 --> 00:25:34,160
I asked her what she did.
423
00:25:34,420 --> 00:25:35,460
Everything that happened.
424
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,200
She described exactly what I saw.
425
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,880
And I was completely unconscious at the
time.
426
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:42,980
I think I was dead.
427
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:45,300
And I came back.
428
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,400
I was up late last night, Your Honor.
429
00:25:52,220 --> 00:25:53,480
Working on this case.
430
00:25:54,380 --> 00:25:56,320
And I couldn't help but think...
431
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,800
What a terrible judge you are.
432
00:25:59,820 --> 00:26:03,800
A judge should always follow the law and
be above all consistent.
433
00:26:04,220 --> 00:26:08,740
A lawyer should know what to expect when
he walks into his courtroom.
434
00:26:09,180 --> 00:26:14,780
The killing none a year ago, you ruled
that suicide fell within the right to
435
00:26:14,780 --> 00:26:18,980
privacy. And you held that assisting
suicide was legal.
436
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:24,560
But when Howard Bussier suddenly say
assisting his suicide is wrong.
437
00:26:26,190 --> 00:26:27,490
You're not consistent.
438
00:26:28,150 --> 00:26:34,390
A lawyer cannot rely on your rulings,
and that's why you'll never make it to
439
00:26:34,390 --> 00:26:35,390
Supreme Court.
440
00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:36,510
I'm crushed.
441
00:26:36,790 --> 00:26:41,650
The judges who do make it to the top,
they worry about precedent and how their
442
00:26:41,650 --> 00:26:43,630
rulings will affect the next case.
443
00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:48,630
The trouble with you is you worry too
much about the actual case in front of
444
00:26:48,630 --> 00:26:49,630
you.
445
00:26:49,970 --> 00:26:53,970
Well, right in front of you today is
Bobby Hutton.
446
00:26:56,270 --> 00:26:59,110
He wants to grow up to play baseball for
the Cubs.
447
00:26:59,730 --> 00:27:01,910
He wants to grow up to get married.
448
00:27:02,790 --> 00:27:04,610
He wants to grow up.
449
00:27:05,470 --> 00:27:11,450
The odds are he won't. His only hope is
this thing called cryonics.
450
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:13,090
It's a long shot.
451
00:27:13,810 --> 00:27:15,630
Nobody is kidding anybody.
452
00:27:16,370 --> 00:27:20,710
But to Bobby Hutton, this long shot is
everything.
453
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:23,850
It's all he's got.
454
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,600
I know most judges will look at the big
picture and deny the court order. Well,
455
00:27:29,700 --> 00:27:30,900
they have to, of course.
456
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,880
But we're appearing before you.
457
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,680
There's a brave little boy here who's
dying.
458
00:27:40,540 --> 00:27:46,360
I hope for his sake that you'll never
make it to the Supreme Court.
459
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:02,460
Every human being, when born onto this
earth, is blessed with one thing in
460
00:28:02,460 --> 00:28:03,460
common.
461
00:28:03,740 --> 00:28:04,740
A lifetime.
462
00:28:05,260 --> 00:28:08,640
Could be a hundred years if you're
lucky, ten minutes if you're not.
463
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:16,600
It appears that Bobby Hutton's lifetime
will be about
464
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:17,600
ten years.
465
00:28:18,180 --> 00:28:20,900
It's a tragedy that it could be cut so
short.
466
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,720
Sitting in a room with this young man,
467
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:31,940
How could any of us not be moved,
touched by his spirit,
468
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,140
his vitality, and his dignity?
469
00:28:36,660 --> 00:28:40,160
You don't often think of nine -year
-olds as having dignity, but this young
470
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,160
does.
471
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:47,600
How unfair that his lifetime could be
cut so short.
472
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,760
But unlike in a courtroom, the laws of
nature are very arbitrary.
473
00:28:56,300 --> 00:29:03,140
They strike quickly, often with no
apparent connection to fairness, and
474
00:29:03,140 --> 00:29:04,180
usually no appeal.
475
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,680
Everybody in this room desperately wants
to believe in cryonics.
476
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,800
If it'll give Bobby life, then damn it,
let it be true. But we all know better.
477
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:22,280
Despite the microscopic hope that Mr.
Wombo speaks of, we know...
478
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,280
That once we freeze this boy to the
extent that his organs no longer
479
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:34,880
will be dead Dead forever That's not
just a likely scenario.
480
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:41,540
It is as close to a certainty as We can
get and it's a tragedy
481
00:29:41,540 --> 00:29:48,180
But more tragic still would be to take a
lifetime that is already
482
00:29:48,180 --> 00:29:52,430
limited to 10 years and chop off six
months.
483
00:29:54,070 --> 00:29:59,810
Life is, it is so very precious,
484
00:30:00,030 --> 00:30:07,010
especially his. He has a day and another
day after that and a
485
00:30:07,010 --> 00:30:13,050
whole week after that, then another week
and another. He has six whole months to
486
00:30:13,050 --> 00:30:16,150
be with his family, to love them.
487
00:30:18,030 --> 00:30:19,030
To be loved.
488
00:30:20,850 --> 00:30:21,850
Six months.
489
00:30:23,490 --> 00:30:27,950
For Bobby Hutton, that is his lifetime.
490
00:30:28,450 --> 00:30:33,530
How dare we, in the name of science, in
the name of progress, and most of all,
491
00:30:33,550 --> 00:30:37,750
in the name of God, how dare we take
that away from him.
492
00:30:45,420 --> 00:30:49,320
It was reckless disregard for life. I'm
surprised at both of you. How do you
493
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,219
think he felt?
494
00:30:50,220 --> 00:30:54,660
Cold. It was cruel, and so was
shellacking him. That's very
495
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:57,580
It was a tribute. A tribute?
496
00:30:57,860 --> 00:31:00,500
Well, I'm sure he'd be so honored if
only you hadn't murdered him.
497
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,560
We thought if we could freeze him and
thaw him out, we'd learn stuff that
498
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:05,560
help all frog kind.
499
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,480
Well, I think the way to help frog kind
is to show a little respect for each
500
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,480
frog's life.
501
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:12,880
That's Ross.
502
00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:14,780
We asked for volunteers.
503
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:16,620
He jumped.
504
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,460
All rise.
505
00:31:26,780 --> 00:31:32,700
Be seated.
506
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,600
Every so often.
507
00:31:40,750 --> 00:31:44,070
A judge gets a case where the law
doesn't really help him at all.
508
00:31:45,470 --> 00:31:51,050
I find myself not interpreting rules or
statutes,
509
00:31:51,090 --> 00:31:57,330
but rather gauging, then trying to
reflect
510
00:31:57,330 --> 00:31:59,750
the values of the community.
511
00:32:01,090 --> 00:32:06,510
But on this one, I'm going to do
something I've never done before.
512
00:32:07,890 --> 00:32:09,830
Not that it will control my ruling.
513
00:32:10,860 --> 00:32:16,700
But, since I have a decent cross
-section of society in this room, I'm
514
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:18,440
ask for a show of hands.
515
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:26,340
For my own education, how many here
think Bobby Hutton should be permitted
516
00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:28,160
frozen if that is his wish?
517
00:32:29,020 --> 00:32:30,460
Please raise your hands.
518
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,240
And how many find the notion offensive?
519
00:32:41,870 --> 00:32:42,870
All right.
520
00:32:43,870 --> 00:32:44,870
Thank you.
521
00:32:46,130 --> 00:32:47,470
Excuse me, Your Honor.
522
00:32:48,290 --> 00:32:51,830
With the court's permission, I'd like to
say what I find offensive.
523
00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:57,850
It's the fallacy that people in this
country have a right to privacy and self
524
00:32:57,850 --> 00:33:00,570
-determination. It's a big lie.
525
00:33:01,250 --> 00:33:02,750
What's your problem, Howard?
526
00:33:03,650 --> 00:33:08,470
My problem is they say freedom means
nothing left to lose.
527
00:33:09,190 --> 00:33:11,170
Well, that boy is terminal.
528
00:33:11,770 --> 00:33:15,330
He has almost nothing left to lose, and
he's still not free to take whatever
529
00:33:15,330 --> 00:33:17,290
measures he wants to save his life.
530
00:33:17,910 --> 00:33:21,170
Even when those measures threaten nobody
but himself.
531
00:33:22,510 --> 00:33:28,930
If we want to risk death to save our
lives, how
532
00:33:28,930 --> 00:33:32,410
dare any court presumed to tell us no?
533
00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:38,030
Women can have abortions because you say
it's their body, therefore they're
534
00:33:38,030 --> 00:33:39,030
right.
535
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:42,940
Why can't the sick and the elderly get
the same courtesy?
536
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,260
We're the ones who are dying. Why the
hell should we have to come in here and
537
00:33:47,260 --> 00:33:50,620
ask your permission to try whatever
we've got left to try?
538
00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:56,480
You grant us the right to linger, the
right to suffer.
539
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,880
Every other prerogative goes to society.
540
00:34:00,940 --> 00:34:02,100
I'm sick of it.
541
00:34:02,620 --> 00:34:07,180
That boy's life is on the line, and you
ask for a show of hands?
542
00:34:08,739 --> 00:34:14,500
I'm sick of the lawyers and the judges.
I'm sick of the courts. And right now,
543
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:16,340
I'm especially sick of you.
544
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:24,139
I'd like to lay that little diatribe on
your roll, Timus Howard, but I won't.
545
00:34:24,739 --> 00:34:26,120
I know I had that coming.
546
00:34:27,219 --> 00:34:28,219
Excuse me.
547
00:34:28,739 --> 00:34:30,620
As long as we're opening up the forum.
548
00:34:30,860 --> 00:34:31,678
We're not.
549
00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:33,040
Well, Howard got to have his say.
550
00:34:33,620 --> 00:34:35,540
Maybe there's another sentiment that
needs expressing.
551
00:34:36,489 --> 00:34:38,850
Do you want your cross -section of
society or not?
552
00:34:39,330 --> 00:34:40,350
30 seconds.
553
00:34:40,670 --> 00:34:41,670
Go.
554
00:34:42,949 --> 00:34:47,330
This right to die thing has mushroomed
out of all proportion.
555
00:34:47,909 --> 00:34:53,710
You know, it's a different thing to
refuse extraordinary life -saving means
556
00:34:53,710 --> 00:34:54,870
being put to death.
557
00:34:55,170 --> 00:34:59,650
I think that point's already been made,
Henry. Well, I haven't heard anybody
558
00:34:59,650 --> 00:35:02,950
make the point that death is a natural
process.
559
00:35:03,830 --> 00:35:05,110
We're human organisms.
560
00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:10,130
We're put on this earth with mortality,
and medicine should not be used to
561
00:35:10,130 --> 00:35:12,190
pervert that. I'm sorry. I have to
respond.
562
00:35:12,450 --> 00:35:14,810
Hold on. One thing, Judge. One point.
563
00:35:15,350 --> 00:35:19,030
There will always be new diseases.
Twenty years ago, we didn't have AIDS.
564
00:35:19,030 --> 00:35:20,430
will always be new plagues.
565
00:35:20,970 --> 00:35:24,770
Doctors should try to cure whatever they
can. If it's leukemia today, fine.
566
00:35:25,330 --> 00:35:26,430
Cure leukemia.
567
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,920
Nature and medicine will always battle.
We shouldn't be deciding what kind of
568
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,900
mortality is natural. Now, now, wait a
minute.
569
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,360
I haven't finished.
570
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:37,560
Hey!
571
00:35:44,140 --> 00:35:46,640
We're trying to save one life here,
okay?
572
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:51,880
I don't give a damn about the societal
ramifications or the religious,
573
00:35:51,980 --> 00:35:53,320
philosophical consequences.
574
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:55,720
I don't want to lose my son.
575
00:35:57,770 --> 00:35:59,270
Why can't it just be about that?
576
00:36:00,250 --> 00:36:01,250
Huh?
577
00:36:01,710 --> 00:36:02,990
He doesn't want to die.
578
00:36:08,030 --> 00:36:10,390
What the hell are you people all doing
here?
579
00:36:11,810 --> 00:36:12,810
Leave us alone.
580
00:36:15,410 --> 00:36:16,530
Just leave us alone.
581
00:36:22,650 --> 00:36:25,490
We'll adjourn for one hour. I will then
make my ruling.
582
00:36:26,590 --> 00:36:27,590
All right.
583
00:36:35,990 --> 00:36:39,450
Same as before, your rate's way up. That
little tantrum in court didn't help.
584
00:36:40,370 --> 00:36:41,870
Forgive me for having an opinion.
585
00:36:43,450 --> 00:36:47,870
A person with Alzheimer's should know
better than to have a point of view.
586
00:36:47,870 --> 00:36:50,710
we don't know better because we have
Alzheimer's. Catch 22.
587
00:36:51,530 --> 00:36:54,590
I should probably go home and hug my
teddy bear. You're angry.
588
00:36:54,940 --> 00:36:56,100
Damn right I'm angry.
589
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,880
That boy should be allowed to be frozen
if he wants.
590
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,520
Maybe I should try it, too.
591
00:37:01,060 --> 00:37:03,700
What can doctors do for me, except take
my pulse?
592
00:37:04,220 --> 00:37:06,500
Well, one thing doctors shouldn't do is
play God.
593
00:37:06,820 --> 00:37:13,400
When a child of nine gets leukemia, or
when somebody gets Alzheimer's, maybe
594
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,640
isn't playing God. Maybe the genetic
experts should get a chance.
595
00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:19,520
In that case, you'd be dead.
596
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:20,880
I'm not afraid of death.
597
00:37:21,340 --> 00:37:22,420
I'm afraid of dying.
598
00:37:24,930 --> 00:37:25,930
You're not afraid of death?
599
00:37:26,730 --> 00:37:27,730
Are you?
600
00:37:29,590 --> 00:37:31,610
I don't think much about it.
601
00:37:42,070 --> 00:37:43,190
I'm terrified of it.
602
00:37:43,910 --> 00:37:44,910
Why?
603
00:37:46,990 --> 00:37:47,990
I don't know.
604
00:37:50,370 --> 00:37:52,190
What if there happened a heaven or an
afterlife?
605
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,440
What if this is all there is and the
only thing that's on the other side is
606
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:01,440
darkness?
607
00:38:02,420 --> 00:38:03,420
You'd be all alone.
608
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,920
A hundred thousand years and that's just
the beginning of eternity.
609
00:38:09,180 --> 00:38:12,600
You'd be all alone in the darkness
forever and ever and ever.
610
00:38:13,980 --> 00:38:19,820
Maybe we created the idea of heaven and
hell because nothingness, that's worse.
611
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:23,640
I'm terrified of death.
612
00:38:55,950 --> 00:39:01,790
I represent the three comatose
vegetables, the potato man, now a would
613
00:39:01,790 --> 00:39:05,490
popsicle. The metaphor for life is food.
614
00:39:05,970 --> 00:39:06,970
Do you see?
615
00:39:07,270 --> 00:39:08,270
Yeah.
616
00:39:08,710 --> 00:39:14,790
Food and life, like food, can sometimes
last longer with a little refrigeration.
617
00:39:15,330 --> 00:39:17,390
God works in mysterious ways.
618
00:39:17,750 --> 00:39:19,030
I live by this.
619
00:39:19,570 --> 00:39:20,730
Yeah, I can see that.
620
00:39:21,070 --> 00:39:22,430
Judge is back. Let's go.
621
00:39:29,550 --> 00:39:30,550
Be seated.
622
00:39:38,130 --> 00:39:43,050
As I said before, the law gives me
little guidance on this one.
623
00:39:43,290 --> 00:39:48,790
The problem is, the boundaries of
medicine are so rapidly changing, the
624
00:39:48,790 --> 00:39:49,790
can't keep up.
625
00:39:50,010 --> 00:39:56,050
How can I rely on legal precedents which
were made with no comprehension of
626
00:39:56,050 --> 00:39:57,070
today's technology?
627
00:39:58,540 --> 00:40:00,620
We're learning how to clone people
already.
628
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:07,380
The technology is here for parents to go
in and choose the sex of their child.
629
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:14,280
Someday we'll be able to select eye
color and height.
630
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,900
One day we'll have the ability to make
carbon copy people.
631
00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:23,580
And I'm sure when that day gets close,
the law.
632
00:40:24,170 --> 00:40:28,350
will jump in to legislate, just like
it's jumping in today over cryonics.
633
00:40:29,650 --> 00:40:35,750
The Attorney General says we can't
induce a boy's death.
634
00:40:36,550 --> 00:40:41,590
The parents argue we're trying to
prolong life.
635
00:40:42,210 --> 00:40:48,030
It all comes down to definitions and
rules where medicine and law
636
00:40:48,030 --> 00:40:49,530
don't agree.
637
00:40:50,770 --> 00:40:51,770
But...
638
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:59,280
What it finally, finally comes down to
is the judge.
639
00:41:00,660 --> 00:41:01,660
Me.
640
00:41:04,020 --> 00:41:09,300
Despite the robe and the impressive
setting, Mr. and Mrs. Hutton, beneath
641
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:11,440
veil, I'm a human being.
642
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:19,320
And as a human being, it isn't in me to
allow your son
643
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,460
to be frozen to death.
644
00:41:23,050 --> 00:41:24,710
It doesn't seem right.
645
00:41:26,410 --> 00:41:30,550
I'd like to say I'm governed by a legal
mandate.
646
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:32,910
I'm not.
647
00:41:34,550 --> 00:41:36,910
I'd like to say I don't have a choice.
648
00:41:38,250 --> 00:41:39,250
I do.
649
00:41:40,550 --> 00:41:47,450
But my choice is not to induce his death
for any reason.
650
00:41:49,170 --> 00:41:50,990
If he has six months,
651
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,840
Then he has six months.
652
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:03,120
Like Mr. Beale says, that makes his time
more precious.
653
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,240
And we shouldn't shorten it further.
654
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,180
Bobby, I hope you understand.
655
00:42:14,940 --> 00:42:16,540
But I'm not asking you to.
656
00:42:18,100 --> 00:42:19,100
I...
657
00:42:22,700 --> 00:42:24,260
You're an extraordinary young man.
658
00:42:26,180 --> 00:42:27,220
I'll pray for you.
659
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,160
I'll pray for all of us.
660
00:42:34,020 --> 00:42:36,420
Plaintiff's motion denied.
