Doctor von Niemann
Mad? Is one who has solved the secret of life to be considered mad? Life, created in the laboratory! No mere crystalline growth, but tissue—living, growing tissue. Life that moves, pulsates, and demands food for its continued growth! You shudder in horror. So did I the first time. But what will a few lives be weighed in the balance against the achievement of biological science? Think of it. I have lifted the veil. I have created life—arrested the secret of life from life. Now do you understand? For the lives of those who have gone before, I have created life!
