We've got a problem,
some things have been leaked.
I don't know how, I just got a phone call.
We've gotta get this on the plane
as fast as we can.
It's going to be hard enough
for them to accept Elizabeth
without confusing the issue
with gene therapy.
It's my advice that you don't talk
about it. Oh, and we should...
have the receptor removed from these pictures
before they're handed out to the press.
Leak or no leak, I don't think
we should be considering this at all.
We're not ready.
Elizabeth just started her treatment.
We're nowhere close to presenting
our work to the public.
I'm not prepared for anyone to see Elizabeth,
and I'm not prepared to release
- any of my research data.
- I'm not sure that you have to.
It's perfectly acceptable to announce it
today without having everything lined out.
They're going to want to see her.
Of course they'll want to see her,
but we have the pictures.
And it's still better than not
getting ahead of the story.
We're not prepared.
If we're not prepared to talk about her,
we're not prepared to talk about
their reactions to her, about any of it.
- It's my strong opinion that we wait.
- Well, we can't wait.
It's already out there.
It's a gaining momentum as we speak.
It's going to get more and more intense
unless you find a way to control it.
- You don't have a choice.
- Of course we have a choice.
This is our research. Okay?
This is our ten plus years of work.
What happens when they start distorting your
research or they start reporting hearsay?
Or for that matter,
they paint whatever picture they want?
Okay, gentlemen. Please.
Now, Sidney... What do you think?
Whether you go public now,
or a month for now,
you are going to be facing
potentially serious consequences.
- I thought we were covered.
- Yeah, we are.
In this state, what you did
would be considered felony.
But since you didn't conduct
the experiments you're within the law.
- That is not my concern.
- Then what is?
It's what we haven't prepared for
that I am most worried about.
This is all new territory.
We just don't know.
This state, the federal government,
local authorities,
religious groups...
you, my friend, are going to have
a big target on your back.
Hi, girls.
- Hi, Mary.
- Hello, ma'am.
Did Victor call?
No, not yet. Is he due in tomorrow?
I'm not sure.
Girls, will you go with Mary, please?
Mommy's not feeling very good.
I'm going to go lie down, okay?
Thank you.
Good morning. Thank you for coming.
My name is Dr. Victor Reed.
Over the past ten years,
through private financing,
I put together a state-of-the-art
research facility
and handpicked a team of scientists
from across the country in order to study
and implement groundbreaking genetic
and biological experiments.
I'm here to report that on December 2nd,
Elizabeth was born.
To my knowledge
She's been alive
for a little over a month.
She will not be joining us today,
as she is not yet ready to leave
her controlled environment, but...
I have arranged for photographs
of her to be submitted to all of you.
I see this...
as a defining moment in science
and our progress as human beings.
It's my privilege and honor to share
this great news with all of you today.
We will be significantly closer to cures
for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's,
and so many other diseases
as well as leading to all kinds of incredible
advantages we have not yet imagined.
Okay, thank you.
I will now take questions.
- Dr. Reed, when can we see her?
