Theo WoldGUEST
If you recall, a very similar analog here at play is the cloning crisis of the early 2000s.
Theo WoldGUEST
when Chinese scientists were doing work with Dolly the sheep, or there was rumors of human cloning experiments, and everyone rushed to say, we should not be doing this, shut it all down.
Theo WoldGUEST
And the US and many of its allies complied with those international agreements, and China went on ahead regardless.
Theo WoldGUEST
The Chinese do this with the Law of the Seas.
Shaun FarringtonHOST
Joe, how have you been reading this sort of developing story of the looming threats of this advancement?
Joe De SilvaGUEST
it's really quite interesting I mean obviously we all benefit most people benefit from AI but if you look back in history you know any major change has led to questions about whether it is going to wipe out humanity you know a really good example was that was remember Dolly the Sheep when Dolly came around and you know Just explain Dolly

DarrellHOST
The cold, authoritarian father, the doting younger mother, and then the father's death at exactly the right moment, 94 times over in the hope that at least one of these boys grows up to walk the same path.
DarrellHOST
its nature and nurture weaponised, and for a mainstream thriller made almost 20 years before Dolly the Sheep, it's remarkable how carefully the film walks its audience through the science.
DarrellHOST
Let's talk about the performances because this is where the film really earns its place.
DarrellHOST
Gregory Peck as Mengele is one of the great against-type castings of the 70s.

Hello
LizCORRESPONDENT
again, it's Liz from eSchool Bride.
LizCORRESPONDENT
My choice today for a chat with you all is Dolly Parton.
LizCORRESPONDENT
Now, if you're one of the very few people on planet Earth who hasn't heard of Dolly, then please keep listening, because this chat in the time I have, rather than being all about her endless... multi-million selling musical songs it's much more a focus in the time i have on the work the philanthropy and the amazing effort that she has put into helping others through the money she has made from these world famous songs Of course, we all know the poor background, born in Tennessee, the fourth child of a family of 12.
LizCORRESPONDENT
Her own father couldn't read or write.
LizCORRESPONDENT
Now, there's a link to some of her later work.
JananHOST
Let me put you on some fun facts.
JananHOST
The Roslyn Institute was the institute that did the first ever case of cloning with Dolly the sheep.
JananHOST
Yes, they did it right there.
JananHOST
And in the institute, there were pictures like cardboard pictures of Dolly the sheep for you to go take to take a picture with her.
JananHOST
R.I.P. to Dolly.
JananHOST
I think she has been taxidermied in a museum somewhere.
JananHOST
But yeah, Roslyn Institute is one of the pioneering institutions.
