Science and Life and Life For a while it seemed to all an incredible miracle: once separated twins, nineteen years later reunited together, raising a wave of enthusiasm and surprise, feeding with their presence viewers of television programs, vying to invite to themselves triplets yesterday did not suspect their kinship, and now became stars of talk shows, relished the external similarity and proximity of taste preferences of young people, bathed in the applause of the audience, until they learned that in infancy they were separated on purpose.
Several decades will pass, and now they, together with their parents, give interviews to the creators of this picture, telling about the secret experiments experienced and discovered by them, conducted by the adoption agency in the 60s - 80s of the previous century under the research program of a closed fund, which found out the influence on psychology and personality behavior of factors of social status and upbringing, sending newborn twins to various adoptive families, then monitoring their further development, the results of which remain a secret archive of Yale University, which has no right to publish them.
It seems incredible the very possibility of taking and invading someone else’s life like this, without demand, submitting it to your own selfish will. This is not about the mother who refused newborn babies, but about those people who were obliged to act for the benefit of deprived children, contrary to duty and common sense, who tore them apart, disrupting biological ties for the sake of scientific interest, despising humanism for the sake of only their known benefit.
Surprise, first of all, is now read on the faces of mature men, as well as their very old adoptive parents, unanswered questions: “Why?” and “Why?”, “How could this be allowed?” and “Who allowed them to do this?” – neither they nor the specialists who delve into the case, familiar with the consequences of the experience of open facts and confessions of the people themselves, who experienced not only the shock of the meeting, but also the lingering stress of being separated from their uterine brothers, revealing the problematic points of interaction of foster fathers and children with a completely different view on their adoption process.
Morality and ethics come to the fore, but behind them there is a strict responsibility for those who arbitrarily decide the future of defenseless children, guided by an extremely controversial motive of practical useful interests, knowing about the traumatic impact of their measures on the consciousness and development of a child who is deliberately infringed on his birth rights.
And there is no one to ask: those who have passed away are spared an answer, and those who are still intact hide behind ignorance of the details and goals of the project, or, like that cute old woman, who is covered with photos with the top of the American establishment, are proud of their involvement in scientific practice, not understanding the irritation of the film’s authors, not letting them evade, depriving them of the saving: “No one died!”, which is an argument for the fact of premature death, which is unlikely to become a lesson in this, but, perhaps, will tie hands with others.
