Life Tracker Page #3

Synopsis: Dillon stumbles on a little known news story about a company called Life Tracker Limited, which claims it has discovered a way to predict biological events in a human's life by looking at their DNA. Everyone views the story as a modern day form of palm reading that will go nowhere, but Dillon keeps turning on his camera when he finds articles on the Internet or hears about it on the news. The story keeps getting bigger. People all over the world are paying tons of money to see if their DNA shows any trace of disease, or future children, or when they'll die. With little to no resources, Dillon is left to guerilla style street interviews and filming the reactions of his small group of friends. When Dillon, his best friend Scott, and Scott's girlfriend Bell all get their futures predicted their lives start to change... along with the world itself. Nothing is physically changed in any single person's day-to-day life, but the ideas that have been put in people's heads convince them to flip

not shut up?

It's okay, sport.

Are you still talking

right now?

This was on

the local news today.

One of those

middle of the day things

when they know

nobody is watching.

Sorry to use this stuff

from the web,

but I don't have the pull

to get the interviews myself.

Today, we're joined

by honey joans,

a political science Professor

from uc berkley

and Abigail Wesson-levitt,

a philosophy Professor

from carnegie mellon.

Welcome, ladies.

Hello.

Hello, Susan

and thank you for having me.

Yes, thank you.

So, we are curious to hear

what you know

about life tracker limited.

Sounds a bit like

a science fiction movie,

doesn't it?

It really does.

From what I can understand,

if my body's chemistry

is involved it's recorded

and from there we can

make assumptions?

Exactly.

I'll give you an example.

If it's in like a person

who has an excess buildup

of white blood cells

that can mean

this person is sick.

Now, if it's a specific kind of

cell or a physical reaction

we may be able to tell

what sickness it is exactly.

What's up, dude?

Hey.

Come in for a minute.

Dil, I paused

the movie upstairs.

Bell is waiting.

Just give me a second.

Sit over here.

What's all this?

I was a little pissed off

the other day when you said

I never finish anything.

It pissed me off,

but you were right.

Well, I know I was right.

That's why I said it.

I was pissed

because it was true,

but you didn't have

to say it in front of everyone.

Wait, wait.

Just please, please.

Dil, whatever this is,

you're making it awkward.

I want you to help me

hold myself accountable.

Accountable?

I've decided

I'm going full force

into the life tracker doc.

I don't know if

it's the best topic

or how long it's going

to remain newsworthy,

but I have to finish something.

Great.

I'm with you.

You're with me?

Yeah, I mean I don't think

it's the greatest idea either,

but I do think you need

to finish something.

So, I'm with you.

Well, I didn't say

I thought it was a bad idea.

Neither did I.

But you don't think

it's good?

Okay.

Why this topic?

Just because it happened

to be what we were discussing

when the subject

of you having no follow through

came up?

That, and I think this story

could go somewhere.

I mean think about it, man.

I'm always bitching

about a father I never knew.

I don't have my own

family medical history.

Life tracker could open

that window for people.

Do you have any idea

how long science takes?

If this is even real science.

And what?

Are you just going

to keep using this camera?

What about lights or actually

getting good sound?

What about release forms?

Interviews,

are you just going to keep
