00:01:02,320 an economic power 100 years ahead of schedule. 5 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,520 At the time, this was huge. 6 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,960 "Finally, we're the world's best!" 7 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,320 First of all, we have news that is both shocking and devastating. 8 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,240 The audience's hopes and ambitions are high… 9 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,040 When sorrows form in my heart 10 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,640 Drop by drop 11 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:08,440 In the morning, I climb up a hill… 12 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,840 My day-to-day life in this desert 13 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,080 and listening to this music 14 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:23,040 gives a lot of meaning to the life I have lived. 15 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,880 The sweltering midday heat 16 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,880 Is a trial for me 17 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,160 I am going now 18 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,000 Going into the barren wilderness 19 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,080 Leaving my sorrows behind 20 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:55,160 I am going now 21 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,920 And perhaps in the eyes of others, 22 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,960 much like the history of Korea, 23 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,560 the history of what I did 24 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,760 in the past 25 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,680 contains both pain and glory. 26 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,280 But these are things that can't be erased. 27 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,400 All of that was me. 28 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:41,320 This is the reception area of our main building. 29 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,960 The portraits you are looking at 30 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,120 are of the key leaders of the UAE. 31 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,160 Sheikh Zayed, 32 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,520 the current president, Sheikh Khalifa, 33 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,720 Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed, 34 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,720 and our big boss, Sheikh Mansour. 35 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,440 Welcome! 36 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,800 Hello! 37 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:05,840 How are you? 38 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:08,520 Are you doing fine? 39 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,920 I suppose you could 40 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,960 call me several things. 41 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,800 I was once the best lecturer 42 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,720 at Seoul National University. 43 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,800 But at one point, 44 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,280 I'm sure they thought of me 45 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,560 as an embarrassment. 46 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,800 I'm sure they are fully aware of everything about me 47 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,920 in this country as well. 48 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,720 But still, they are ready to fully support me. 49 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,000 Inshallah. 50 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,600 In this place, we have 51 00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:48,840 six cloned baby camels. 52 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,160 Among them, 53 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,040 the black ones are beauty camels. 54 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,520 Next, the baby that was born yesterday 55 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,240 and the white camel over there are both racing camels. 56 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:08,120 And sometime tonight, 57 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,960 a third racing camel is expected to be born. 58 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:27,600 Among those criticizing cloning technology, 59 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:34,120 some insist that cloning is against God's order or authority of creation 60 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:40,160 and that it's an attempt to play God. 61 00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:43,800 Cloning is not that kind of technology. 62 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,880 What cloning does is copy genetically. 63 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,360 Such imaginative tales about genetic cloning 64 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,440 have already been disproven by history. 65 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,360 Decades have passed already. 66 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,000 In this whole wide world, 67 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,080 has a Frankenstein ever been born? 68 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,000 No, not yet. 69 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,440 Every time I see such a creature, 70 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,200 I feel the greatness of science and technology, 71 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:21,840 a sense of awe at how much it can contribute to humanity, 72 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,920 and great pride in it as well. 73 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,320 Now, let us introduce the cloned calf, 74 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,120 known as the "super calf." 75 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,360 The mooing of the cloned calf was loud and strong from birth. 76 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,760 After eight years of research, Professor Hwang's team 77 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,520 created the cloned calf using cell nuclear transfer techniques 78 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,240 in his lab at Seoul National University. 79 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,839 When it's ready to be applied to domestic livestock farms in Korea, 80 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,839 there will be huge savings on imports of about 700 billion won, 81 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:24,560 creating added value of about 1,500 billion won per year. 82 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:31,119 At the time, the public did not know who he was. 83 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,360 He was merely a professor at Seoul National University. 84 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,400 Since calves were expensive, it was huge news 85 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,200 when Hwang Woo-suk succeeded in cloning a cow. 86 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,720 So they called him and arranged a meeting 87 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,040 between him and the president. 88 00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:52,920 This was possible because it was Professor Hwang. 89 00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:00,000 But in reality, that wasn't possible for an ordinary person or scientist. 90 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,440 It was decided that it would be a wonderful scientific event 91 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:33,080 if South Korean technology could clone the Korean tiger, 92 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,920 which was a gift from the North. 93 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,400 And Hwang grasped the opportunity. 94 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,480 The process of cloning the Korean tiger 95 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,360 -sounds technically complicated. -Yes. 96 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,520 Can a tiger be successfully cloned? 97 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:55,480 Yes, I am hoping to have a cloned tiger by the year 2000. 98 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:56,440 I see. 99 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,200 With just that claim, 100 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,080 he could raise funding for his research and attract public attention. 101 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,440 At the time, 102 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,720 there was no "Korean tiger" in South Korea. 103 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:15,320 We had failed to breed them, so to speak. 104 00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:20,400 But the Pyongyang Zoo had sent Korean tigers to the South, 105 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,480 one male and one female, 106 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,680 through an animal exchange program, 107 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,120 and they remained alive. 108 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,120 At the start, 109 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:41,800 the easiest thing to obtain was the pig egg. 110 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,040 It's easy to use pig eggs for surrogates. 111 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:48,800 So we attempted to inject 112 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,480 the Korean tiger donor cells into the pig eggs. 113 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,680 In the next step, 114 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,280 we used cow eggs. 115 00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:05,680 Once we'd confirmed that initial development 116 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,240 was possible using the pig and the cow, 117 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,080 we moved on to domestic cats. 118 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,520 At the time, 119 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:21,440 we used both the tiger and the lion as surrogate mothers. 120 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,440 One of the lions developed a hernia. 121 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:33,480 In other words, the wound didn't heal after implantation, 122 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:40,360 and then the intestines came out, ending up in the animal's death. 123 00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:43,360 That's when we stopped the experiment. 124 00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:46,360 This is science. 125 00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:50,320 And some might think it's reckless, 126 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,600 but in science, you can't dismiss a path just because it's reckless. 127 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,200 Through the process, 128 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,960 we obtain scientific data, 129 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,160 so nothing goes to waste. 130 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,120 It is an Afghan Hound, and it is 101 days old as of today. 131 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,920 Dr. Hwang's success in dog cloning 132 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,440 is seen as the peak of animal cloning research. 133 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,360 Snuppy is the world's first cloned dog. 134 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,560 Its name was created by combining 135 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,040 Seoul National University's initials with the word "puppy." 136 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,040 American researchers had tried for a long time 137 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:47,400 to clone a puppy named Missy, 138 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,360 but in the end, they failed. 139 00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:15,840 I believe that the message that this successful case sent 140 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,280 to others in the cloning field was huge. 141 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,720 The fact that we had succeeded in cloning dogs meant 142 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:30,280 it would be possible to clone almost any other animal 143 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:36,440 if given the necessary conditions and the chance. 144 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,760 About 30 researchers on Professor Hwang's team 145 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,400 work from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on average. 146 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,840 The "chopstick technique" involves piercing a delicate egg 147 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,640 and extracting the nucleus in a split second. 148 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,000 Bioengineers around the world are in awe of this technique. 149 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,360 Researchers from other countries have slower hands. 150 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,160 Say if we were to do 100 in an hour, 151 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,480 their numbers would be much lower. 152 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,440 One day, 153 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,960 I heard from the UAE government 154 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,800 that there used to be a symbolic camel named Mabrukan, 155 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,360 but about ten years ago, 156 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,560 it suddenly died. 157 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,240 They asked me 158 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,040 whether it would be possible to clone him, 159 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,240 so I told them. 160 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:44,000 "The probability is less than 1%." 161 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,440 In the end, 162 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,320 eleven years after his death, 163 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:19,520 eleven cloned Mabrukans were born. 164 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:30,920 They are now living here in the UAE and being fondly cared for. 165 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,560 When brain function and heartbeat stop, 166 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,040 that is considered 167 00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:46,000 the starting point of death, 168 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,240 but we think otherwise. 169 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:53,640 We don't consider an organism to be dead 170 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,800 until the body cells 171 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,040 lose the potential to be cultured 172 00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:04,000 as a cell line. 173 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:10,040 This process being part of our profession, 174 00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:13,720 we consider a single cell itself as a unit of life. 175 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:25,240 In a way, one might consider grief 176 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,120 as a starting point for cloning. 177 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,960 "Although we can't guarantee success, 178 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,560 send over the tissues quickly." 179 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,760 Cloning technology 180 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,360 is not about copying something 100%. 181 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:40,440 It's a genetic and DNA copy of the original, 182 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,280 not a copy of the phenotype. 183 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,920 There may be slight differences from the original. 184 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,760 I think we have cloned, 185 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,280 roughly speaking, 186 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:53,400 over 1,600 in the family of dogs. 187 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,400 We have also cloned cows, pigs, wolves, 188 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,040 coyotes, cats, and horses. 189 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,160 There will come a time when I can share the details. 190 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,520 I
