I don’t get it. He’s so hateful he’d rather have no daughter and no grandchildren rather than a possibility of a gay grandson? It makes no sense
Hate dulls your better judgment, to the point you have none at all.
He basically hates gays, from what I understood from the episode; that's my opinion though.
@@elizabethjarram Hate can be a dangerous thing for humans to have, humans like being right more than they like the truth. So humans have a tendency to cling onto their hatred and it's justifications rather than face facts, and that's how we get the idiots we see today.
that's what hate does to you. It doesn't have to make sense, it's just hate
Narrative/political agenda driven storyline defining character motivations to fit that narrative.
I cant do this anymore, I cannot watch these, get all involved in the story, then ZAPPP- a cliffhanger. What happened in the end? :(
the baby was a self hating gay that sent a bomb back in time to kill itself before birth
The interactions between Cutter & McCoy were gold in this episode.
Who?
I didn't even see Jack?
@jamesfracasse8178 @68404 Guys, obviously @HermioneSharman15 has seen the entire episode, and that is how she’s recalling Cutter and McCoy’s interactions…this teaser clip has nothing to do with her comment.
Wait, I remember some of the stuff that scientist was talking about. Didn't that whole theory turn out to just be theoretical as the "gay gene" doesn't really serve as a guarantee of orientation?
From what I can recall, basically it was a bunch of hooey. I think they basically hypothesize that orientation is more neurological than genetic, but overall it’s not really something scientifically concrete, since it’s a spectrum. All in all, some people are straight some are gay, and that’s that
@@elisabethschmerzler963 Yeah. I remember my church had two different preachers as it developed. The first one said "this is fake and even if it wasn't it wouldn't matter" and then a few years later another preacher said "this was discovered but it doesn't really prove anything".
...my church has had some weird speakers in its history, but man, do they leave an impression.
It’s a tv show as well.
@@b2kzangelalwayz No, like I remember in my teens they talked about this, like... it was something being researched IRL.
There is some research that indicates a number of things that get dismissively termed "identitarian" have neurological markers or indicators. I can't recall if the most current research argues for a genetic basis, but I am passingly familiar with some recent studies that indicate there are minute neurological structural differences that increase the likelihood of homosexuality or being trans. There is also something I remember more vaguely about how the more older brothers a male has the higher the likelihood he will be gay, but I can't for the life of me recall what the hypothesized reason for the correlation was. All in all, there is existing science and ongoing science that does suggest biological or neurological factors may play a significant role in various sexual identity, supporting Lady Gaga's insightful claim that people, straight, gay, or trans, may in fact just be born that way.
While it is wonderful to have a growing body of valid, reliable research to demonstrate that these personal characteristics are both natural and not subject to personal whim, our world is still filled with enough prejudice that concerns about using that science to target or root out "undesirable" people before they are even born have to be taken seriously.
I've learnt that you can say anything but it has to be withdrawn.
Yes. Once you put a thought into the juries' minds, there is no way you can take it out. And if the judge says "ignore that testimony" that will only make it more significant in their minds. It's a well-established technique.
That baby is lucky to have survived the blast
Yeah but not the shitty father
You do know that this is not real
His made of kryptonite
@@chefbob09 aaasaaaaassssssssssssssssssssasdsed
But not a hateful family
the boyfriend had a tough decision to make. he knows hes going to jail for a long time. when given the options, 1. save his son, garuntee lose his fiance, and his brother goes down with him. 2. Sacrifice his son, for the potential of maybe saving his fiancé's life and letting his brother go free.
if she survives, she could live a normal life, meet someone else, move on. scared from the trauma, but alive.
and his brother can do the same,
but saving his son? a son whos father and uncle are in prison and whos mother is dead, and whos grandfather hates him because this 1 doctor says he is genetically predisposed to being gay. a son who would live a miserable life under his grandfather, or play russian roulette with the foster system.
2 equally terrible decisions. Thats a tough one.
Or he could grow a spine and raise the son himself if his wife died and let his brother suffer the consequences of his crime.

Being gay is not inherited... its a choice for most!🙄
@@beverlyledbetter4906 So when do people choose to be straight? I'm not saying it's inherited, I'm disputing your opinion that people choose to be gay.
@@ew6483They don’t choose to be straight, that’s the biological default setting. You have to choose to be gay as it differs from the default.
I'm not saying that science is wrong on there being a genetic coding for someone to be gay, I am saying it's wrong to terminate a life based on such information. Everyone deserves a chance at life and make the best of it.
I mean that’s up to the woman
@@wrappedaroundmyfinger while you're right, I'd rather we do everything thing possible to convince them not to.
I’d not give birth to a kid if they had a genetic disorder like the skin issue, autism, etc.
Wouldn’t care about orientation though.
Funny tho homophobia is a conservative take but they draw the pro life argument at that then? And then if gay gene is real then didn’t god create it. I love how it’s all a web of self contradictory bullshit.
It could be a genetic predisposition, or the likelihood of happening, but ultimately if your parents were gay that doesn’t mean you’d turn out to be gay you’d just understand what it means to be gay better than someone who may have been raised by heterosexuals
The homophobic grandfather-to-be is played by Tom Waites. He played the Fox in the 1980 film "The Warriors" with James Remar.
That’s not Tom Waites . Tom Waites is both a actor and a singer with a gravelly voice. The actor hear dose not
No Tom Waite played Gibb’s father on NCIS until he died. That’s not him!
@@downhomesunset That was Ralph Waite. From "The Waltons".
The actors name is Thomas G. Waites which is different than Tom Waites. Two different people.
I can’t believe people would terminate a child just because they could be gay, so wrong
In China during the one-child policy, aborting a fetus just because it was female was common. The result was a massive imbalance between males to females being born. Now you have 34 million more men than women.
The argument for egenics has gained popularity over preventing autistic children or children with Down’s syndrome from being born. And think about the old controversy over making your child have blue eyes or be athletic or have designer qualities? Where do you draw the line? Which things are cruel and superfluous or kind and helpful?
I support biological engineering for the goal of Genetic enhancement via selective traits. A more athletic human race less prone to defects and diseases would be a good thing.
@@gtw4546makes no sense, women have the power to create life. I’m not saying throwing any babies away is the answer or that one is more valuable than the other but would think that people would realize that
@@vicky.x You’d think so! But the one-child policy was in effect for over 35 years and the “power to create life” when the purpose of the policy was for population control may have contributed negatively to the preference for a son.
Nitroglycerin in heart medication, and being used for a bomb? Jesus christ.
oh please.
do you consume salt? raw sodium explodes in WATER.
dont act like its some weird thing for some materials to have both dangerous and safe uses
@@TheNatos salt isn't raw sodium. It's sodium chloride, NaCl.
The nitroglycerin heart medication, however, is the same as the kind that goes boom (C3H5(NO3)3). The only difference is that in solid form (tablets) it's stable, while in liquid form it's not stable.
@@PerkyHedgewitch i didnt say salt WAS raw sodium? way to miss the point
.5 mg the same amount as in a cap gun cap. there is a reason why pipe and other bombs use either modern gunpowder, black powder, powder from fireworks or actual explosives.
@@TheNatos you implied it
you're killing me Smalls...
Spoil me please . Somebody .....Anybody !!!
There’s no gay gene 😭😭😭🤣 LMAO
This episode made me so angry, even if it's fictional.
A scientist's research into "The Gay Gene." is interesting because it would allow you the choice to find out if your child would be gay in their life, at any point, but on the other hand; it's kinda like when the Nazis came to power and decided to wipe out any race that was not "Aryan." which sparked the Holocaust. This research could spark a very serious debate that could lead to a very serious situation.
Furthermore, what kind of father would allow his daughter's unborn child to die, if it was GAY?! If I had a homosexual son, I would be so proud of him, I really mean it! Also, if someone did not want their child (regardless of whether it has been born yet or not) because it was gay, I would be more than happy to take that child on as my own, I really mean it!
This sort of problem exists today in China. Parents will abort female fetuses. Why? An economic decision. Due to the way that Chinese society is structured, male children are seen as the guarantors of their parents' future when they retire, while female children aren't. The problem is that this sort of thinking leads to an oversupply of male children, meaning that there won't be enough females to go around when it's time to marry, etc.
Frankly, I think that China's issue is considerably more serious than the one you're outlining. Note that I'm in no way defending it, but as I see it, the nature of Chinese and American societies makes the Chinese problem more severe.
@@crucisnh People kill unborn babies all the time... it's called abortion. Liberals, SJW, leftists and Democrats approve of it.
@@richardkim3652 No that's a fetus not a baby, silly man
@@fuzzlocker No it's a baby. That's why it's called a "Abortion Baby" not a abortion fetus.
@@richardkim3652 No just an abortion silly boy
Whoa! Is the Grandpa Fox from The Warriors?!
@6:47 Are they upset now because your work might lead to a screening test?
I guess opposing counsel was asleep just then? Calls for speculation.
We should include the theme song in one of these clips.
One of two L&O to feature Tom Guiry, aka “Smalls” from “The Sandlot”
The short detective?
@@jamesfracasse8178 No, he plays the young husband. The one whose wife is hurt.
I loved smalls. He reminds me of a friend I grew up with.
Seems like they took a lot of liberties with this episode. How was the husband able to have the pregnancy terminated without her consent (she was unconscious). Unless her life was in danger, wouldn’t it go against her body autonomy?
IIRC it would increase her chances of recovery, but its was a really small increase.
No, if you're in a coma, you'd have a substitute decision maker. If there is no existing living, will, that responsibility usually lies on the spouse. Because the husband hasn't been legally charged with anything, he can still make this decision.
Incapacitated persons have no autonomy; The law has developed a multi-step process for identifying who is responsible in cases of incapacity.
It's either:
1) someone explicitly designated as the decision maker,
2) the nearest family member,
3) the geographically-closest blood relative, or
4) the current Healthcare provider.
#1-3 are allowed to make any decision they see fit regarding the person's treatment options, while #4 is bound by ethics to keep you alive as long as possible with as little suffering as possible until treatment results in a successful recovery or until they have unilaterally determined brain death.
How can u turn medical nitroglycerin into explosives?
@@Ouchiness science and higher concentrations than you can ever obtain medically
OMG the judge is RC3!!!
Cómo echaremos de menos a Cutter!!!!
Nice video and hi
Rubs eyes : HUH?
Um, why did they choose to dress/display a coma patient in such a way?
Because she just got out of surgery?
@@Avatar-Destiny I'm not talking about the first 2 minutes.
5:10
@@DoggieFosters yeah I thought that too. It looks like they put a busty dress on her!
@@downhomesunset lol it was just a dress
Just the thing for a bed bath!
Great 😊
Could someone tell me the short version of this case about because a “gay gene” baby? I’m no scientist but I don’t know if that means the baby is gay right?
It means there is a possibility, but it isn't a guarantee.
How in the heck are you supposed to make a bomb from the tiny bit of nitro mixed in with a binder in heart pills.
I imagine 1) He's been storing up for a long time and 2) some kind of professional background relating to chemistry
@@alexzander7629 If he has that knowledge it is far easier to make it from scratch. The two main compounds are not that difficult to get and a little bit of lab equipment will let you make all you need. Assuming you do not kill yourself, poison yourself, or sear your lungs out (acid is nasty).
Ask MacGyver, I bet he knows the way XD
Exactly haha makes no sense
@@gameofpwns1165 black powder or even firework powder would be better.
I noticed one of the sons wanted to keep a newborn child. But for his behavior, the solution I think of is that the infant should be put up for adoption, maybe. And judging by his age, give the infant to a different family. He doesn't deserve to keep the infant.
Review the available peer reviewed scientific research papers published
Another looker: Jeremy Sisto!🤘
MD here. Sexual orientation is partially determined between 10-14 weeks gestation--basically the first trimester of pregnancy. Environmental and biological factors are causes. There is NO gay gene. You can’t CHANGE sexual orientation. Gay vs straight is not binary. Most of us exist along a line between the two. No one CHOOSES to be gay OR straight! It’s not a weakness…it is what it is. Not about what religion says. One is not evil based on sexual orientation!
Keep researching scientific sources.
The etiology of sexual orientation is still unknown.
Reviewing research papers, not researching research papers
No on chooses 🤔😑
@@lillylovely4973 Sure. Some people choose to be straight. They choose to ignore those urges, get married, have kids and live white picket fence lives.
And then you get those "My husband divorced me after 40 years because he was gay." stories, which is really just miserable and upsetting for everyone involved.
Makes you wonder what would happen they really could screen babies for homosexuality
Look at history to find the answer.
2 seconds after that discovery, mandatory free screening and mandatory abortions in the USA.
5 seconds after that mandatory sterilisation of all with the gene, in the USA.
Weekly school massacres will continue to increase until it's daily like ordinary mass shootings.
I didn't get this one at all. Can some one help me out?
It was definitely intriguing. After reading some of the other comments, it seems this baby was the brother's, not his...
Is it Ryan's son??
What is Joe West doing here?
Kenapa harus menghubungi polisi, ya?
WAIT NOO???? WHY WAS IT SO EASY FOR HIM TO LET GO OF THE SON?!?!?!?????!!
Maybe he is just liberal and believes that there is no son to get rid of, just a bunch of cells?
@@jaimeduncan6167 take a science class. And learn how developments work. Though with in laws like that it would be a nightmare
Because it's isn't *his* son... it's his brother's.
@@jaimeduncan6167 cuz it's the brothers -_-
@@jaimeduncan6167 Way to go trying to turn this thread into a political, religious and ethical debate all in one go, rather than just giving the real reason from the episode.
What's the spoiler of this episode?
There's only two problems here.
1. you would need a proverbial 'truckload' of nitro tablets to get enough nitro to make a bomb. One tablet is 0.4 grams, one ounce is 30 grams one ounce of nitro would be as explosive as a small firecracker. You would need at least a quart of nitro to do any damage. To get a quart of nitro you'd need 3,200 tablets. And even large pharmacies can't order that much at once!
2. There is no gay gene, or combination of genes. Four scientific studies have been done in the last 40 years, and all were inconclusive.
Don't like being this early. There's no funny comments or spoilers yet :(
I can't get over the fact they used a Revolver Cocking sound for a Glock. 4:14
I can't hear it. And why would you put it on single action?
In any case, why would you carry a pistol without having racked the slide?
@@68404 1. turn volume up higher for the why would u put it on single action pistols dont have single or double action as they dont have the hammer of a revolver and 3 so u dont shoot yourself in the leg, could be using it as a safety without using the safety?
Any spoilers?
1/2 law 1/2 medical = Christmas = 100 percent
The cases something about gene DNA
Girlfriend in a coma, I know it’s serious.
I thought nitroglycerin in medicine isn't explosive, its diluted to the point that it loses its explosive properties or something?
Well this episode aged like milk, given the way America is acting today.
Lmao you're delusional. All institutions are on your side and you still act like you're victims.
Why? America acts more liberal now on matters of homosexuality. Why would people like it less now? Also cheese is pretty good
@@yucol5661agreed. Or do you mean around topic of abortion in this episode?
What ended up happening?
If I had to guess either a the kid is the brother's or b the dad is homophobic just like the grandpa
Thanks for hating my heart!!
Please tell me the baby wasn't terminated!
okay but...the kid is actually the brother's, right? That's the real issue, yes? this clip show is kind of incoherent but I think that's what's up.
COURTNEY COX
Is there a genetic code for me liking the color purple?
Also, if such away to tell if your fetus is messed up or not was possible I would make sure to have that done and abort it!!
omg.. now a baby will never know life just because some scientist thinks that the baby has the so called "gay gene"? this is so stupid.. who cares if the baby is gay or not..they are wrong in deciding its fate...if my child turned out to be gay..it wouldnt matter..because I have complete love for my child..and would never judge him or her...its not right what they did to the baby..
So who blew her up and why?
Dean did it. Unfortunately, Fandom doesn't say much about this episode. See TV Tropes for this episode. It explains the why.
@@JennyZinaTavares Thanks
Jeremy Sisto……..❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
The baby is for Dean
this episode makes vv little sense. socially ppl don’t act this dense and ask poorly contextualized questions.
Spoiler please ❤
He’s making money for his baby and they’re calling him not serious 1:48
Of any reason justifiable to terminate a pregnancy and there are reasons,sexual orientation isn't one of them.that's not for anyone to judge.deal with it.
Wheres the religious nuts claiming abortion is a sin.
This is the mental gymnastics conservative evangelicals put their brains through...
Take your church with you...#Mon1936
This clip reminded me what a hottie Connie Rubiosa was.

That’s the thing though about scientists, they can’t be going around just discovering things for the sake of science. We live in a society. You have to think about the potential ramifications and consequences of your scientific discoveries. Sometimes, it’s best to not discover something.
First of all, I hate the line "We live in a society." Joker was just a horror movie for rich people.
Secondly, discoveries have their good and bad. Man discovered fire and with it came warmth and burns. This discovery ended up not being concrete, and yes it could have been used to target gay children if it was true, but only if society allowed it. The discovery was not the problem, it was how people used that discovery. The stance that society needs to stay ignorant lest they hurt themselves with their own discoveries is what led to scientists and chemists being called warlocks and witches.
@@Fairfieldfencer Dang you beat me to fire analogy. Bottom line, knowledge isn't bad, only what you do with that knowledge
@@Biorythym Look at nuclear technology, cancer treatment, power... big bombs.

I remember watching this episode and I'm still confused sense when is falling in love with your own gender genetic cause I don't believe that part one bit
Since not sense.
I fucking hate this show
It's funny to me that people love science so much when scientific research comes up with a theory like this one. What could be the reasoning behind researching something like that? So, at best, science is easily manipulatable, which proves that it's basically the same as religion. In my estimation anyway. Science can too easily be bad.
science is self-correcting and constantly changing with new information to better explain something. religion is static because you have to see it on its terms and no one else's while science is flexible because anyone can prove or disprove regardless of viewpoint. can it be manipulated? yes, by external nonsense not because it's always wrong in it of itself, because as stated and implied: anyone can question it, anyone can challenge it, anyone can test it, and if many others come to the same conclusion as many more, then it is science. Otherwise, then it's wrong.
sorry, just really hate it when people completely forget how science actually works.
" people love science so much when scientific research comes up with a theory like this one. "
true.
truth is only interesting, when it proves what some people already think, or when it's convenient as a means to support some other agenda. it's not what you find, but what you research, that determines what the truth is. the theory dictates what the findings will be. even then; that there's a gay gene could teach ppl that being gay is natural, ofcourse some ppl call it a natural defect. so the truth doesn't even matter. only what people do with that truth. science doesn't care, indeed. scientists don't care about morality, or how their inventions can be misused. it's not their job to apply morality, so the responsability is someone else's. when the 'researcher' said "science only cares about truth" he means he doesn't care, as long as it makes him famous/succesful.
religion is dogmatic, the opposite of science. if you cant tell the difference its a personal issue
@@adamlouis3725 Actually, I think you DON'T understand what I'm saying. There's no point in talking to you. But, so you know, I don't have a problem with this.
Yeah the physicist crusades where bad.
Gay gene screening would finally cause the LGBTQ community to be against abortion and would truly force so-called right to life conservatives to stick to their word and follow through on their actions that life is sacred.
How does that even make sense?
@@katiesnudden829 it makes a lot of sense
Alright there is no gay gene at all.
The first part makes no sense, the second kind of does.
Why would the LGBTQ+ be against abortion all of a sudden? And why would it force conservatives to be pro-life?
1:08 "The fetus should be okay as long as Ms. Emerson is on life support." Wow. It's like the doctor is talking about two different human beings there. That's because she is.
1 human and 1 fetus actually.
Such a horrible edit I have no idea what this is about. The whole thing at the end I have no idea and I am a very educated an accomplished person. Very poor editing, should’ve just left the episode the way it was
