[00:04.40]they're experimenting with,
[00:06.09]growing tomatoes the size of footballs.
[00:08.53]I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.
[00:10.93]I think we need to be careful, sure,
[00:12.99]but clone food could increase food production.
[00:15.81]It's all right for you,
[00:17.02]but what about people in developing countries
[00:19.10]who haven't got enought to eat?
[00:21.28]But cloning food's not the answer.
[00:22.89]And the next thing is going to
[00:24.13]be cloned animals. Imagine it,
[00:27.02]huge cows producing large quantities of milk!
[00:29.98]It's totally off the map.

[00:33.34]but we can't just say no to all progress.
[00:36.17]Come off it! "Progress"?
[00:37.77]I don't call this "progress".It's madness.
[00:40.37]I think you're being too negative.
[00:42.31]If people like you had their way,
[00:43.83]we'd still be living in caves.
