When I was a kid, my mother told
me that I was a little piece of blue sky... |
00:00:44.790 - 00:00:48.960 |
that came into this world
because she and Dad loved me so much. |
00:00:49.130 - 00:00:53.800 |
It was only later that I realized
that it wasn't exactly true. |
00:00:56.130 - 00:00:59.800 |
Most babies are coincidences. |
00:01:04.310 - 00:01:07.310 |
I mean, up in space
you got all these souls flying around... |
00:01:07.480 - 00:01:10.400 |
looking for bodies to live in. |
00:01:10.570 - 00:01:12.610 |
Then, down here on Earth,
two people have sex or whatever... |
00:01:12.780 - 00:01:16.450 |
and bam, coincidence. |
00:01:16.610 - 00:01:19.700 |
Sure, you hear all these stories about how
everyone plans these perfect families... |
00:01:23.410 - 00:01:28.670 |
but the truth is that most babies... |
00:01:28.830 - 00:01:30.670 |
are products of drunken evenings
and lack of birth control. |
00:01:30.840 - 00:01:34.510 |
They're accidents. |
00:01:36.470 - 00:01:38.340 |
Only people who have trouble
making babies actually plan for them. |
00:01:38.720 - 00:01:43.350 |
I, on the other hand,
am not a coincidence. |
00:01:50.150 - 00:01:54.020 |
I was engineered. |
00:01:56.190 - 00:01:58.110 |
Born for a particular reason. |
00:01:58.530 - 00:02:01.200 |
A scientist hooked up my mother's eggs
and my father's sperm... |
00:02:03.620 - 00:02:06.910 |
to make a specific
combination of genes. |
00:02:07.080 - 00:02:10.420 |
He did it to save my sister's life. |
00:02:12.040 - 00:02:14.710 |
Sometimes I wonder what would have
happened if Kate had been healthy. |
00:02:19.380 - 00:02:23.300 |
I'd probably still be up in heaven
Or wherever... |
00:02:24.600 - 00:02:26.930 |
