Yes, hello, Sir. I'm here to sell something.
Oops, I've just fallen down.
Somehow Biggie's sex toy is a salesman?
If you're offended by anything that I say,
then you should probably, like, not be
because you'd be so much happier.
If there was a "Gay Gene", which there is,
and my baby had it, I'd be thrilled.
This one could be gay. Get rid of it.
Yeah.
Where do you draw the line?
Do you get a sexual gene...? Like, do you like cuddling before...
Oh, yeah. They don't know about that one.
-I wonder if you do? -I think it's a gene.
The only gene that I wouldn't want my baby to have
is something that made his life harder.
I don't think that being gay is much of a problem in our society anymore.
Thank God. I hope it's not.
Would you change it then?
I'd rather have a gay boy than a straight boy.
-Yeah, like... -As long as he plays Hockey.
-Straight or gay? -No, no, there is no...
No. I wish there was. That's really cool.
I don't think it's definitive enough to be actually able to predict.
You don't think it's maybe the way that it's born?
I think the nature-nurture debate on that whole thing is still out.
I don't believe in that, like, whole nature-nurture
and that sort of an argument.
I think it's got to be a gene.
You can't, like... Something so extremely different
to what is otherwise the norm
can't just purely be someone's environment
when they're growing up, and stuff like that.
There's no way.
Something really weird happened.
I was excluded from a comedy show,
and the director said
it was because I couldn't be insured while pregnant.
I got all momma-bear about it, and I thought what if someone said that
to my daughter some day.
What if, you know, they used her genetic information
to exclude her from something like,
"You can't be insured because you have the Lupus gene" or "You can't..."
I think that the controversy with all this DNA testing and genetics
is that information can be used in good ways and in bad ways.
You know that there are people already
who are taking embryos
and purposely giving their kids blue eyes and shutting down the...
But if you could think,
if I knew my baby had the gene for, like, for some crazy disease,
and I could shut down, isolate that gene and shut it down,
it would be awesome.
When I was doing DNA tests, there were a number of advantages,
but there were some big pitfalls.
There was information that wasn't very well explained to me.
There was a lot of time I had to spend looking up what results meant.
And there were some worries,
there were bits of paper which said "very high risk."
And I was very lucky because I was working
with scientists and a genetic counselor,
who managed to interpret these for me
and tell me I didn't really need to worry about them.
But there was a lot of confusion in the data that I got.
If it were everyday thing, then, yeah, I'd probably get it done.
-If everyone was doing it? -If everyone was doing it.
It's like an iPod, isn't?
Had it not been for the baby,
this process would have been very interesting,
and that's it.
But when someone can tell you, you know, black and white, yes-no,
you have this; you don't have that, and you're passing it on
and creating a life,
and someone is inheriting that information;
it just becomes that much more scary.
I think with illnesses where you can do something about it,
it would upset us;
but with stuff like where there is nothing you can do,
truly what is the point?
Yeah, I think, I mean, like, anything too, even with Alzheimer's,
my dad is older than my uncle, and there's a susceptibility to it,
and my Dad does things that keep him active.
I haven't got the gene that predisposes me
towards Alzheimer's in later life.
This gene test had actually been sold to me as a different test
having to do with my metabolism.
But when I took it to a genetic counselor, afterwards,
he said to me,
"You do know that you've taken the Alzheimer's gene test?"
Basically, if I have Parkinson's disease,
I couldn't get insurance probably.
Well, I don't know, like...
You don't have to declare it.
You do!
That's the thing. If you know, you have to.
And what if I don't?
If they ever found out, then you do things
like where you got insurance, and then you were contemplating
some kind of surgery,
when they give you the money,
that's when they get, like, the detective to go in your past
and find everything, and they'll take the money back.
If they know you've taken...
Yeah, then you're screwed.
That's actually not such a good decision.
I'm not sure if my opinion is actually changing.
I'm not sure what I would have done now.
I'm sorry that's life. This is interesting.
Really? Because I've just been really, I don't know maybe...
We're very young as a species, you know.
Humans have only been one this earth, depending on what you believe,
for a blip in time,
and I think that we have a lot to learn.
It's kind of like if the government sort of made it compulsory,
and they are, like, "We want to know about everyone,"
so they can, like, plan services like health effects police.
So where do you drawn the line then?
You know, like, you have zero crime rate
because you would know who's done everything.
You wouldn't want to be in that sort of society.
We always have ebb and flow in our culture.
It just seems now with the onset of technology,
we do it in a very, a lot quicker fashion.
We like the name Cranberry, which is so stupid, but we like it.
But I really like the name Dolly.
That's my Grandma's name, was my Grandma's name.
Naming a little girl Dolly is almost like a challenge.
Like she's this little Dolly, but she'll bite you.
I like it.
I don't know. But I miss my Grandma.
I propose a toast to Katherine.
Yeah!
Why to me?
Because I knocked you up.
