“The Clone Dilemma”
Bill and Joe Jukic sat across from Dr. Mehmet Oz in a sleek conference room. The tension was palpable, the air thick with unspoken urgency. Joe tapped his fingers on the polished table, his frustration barely concealed, while Bill leaned forward, his piercing gaze locked on Dr. Oz.
“Doctor,” Joe began, his voice calm but firm, “we’re not here to discuss hypotheticals. Selena Gomez is in desperate need of a kidney, and her body keeps rejecting the transplants. You’re the face of modern medicine, the man people turn to for hope. So, tell us—what’s the holdup with cloning a kidney that her body won’t reject?”
Dr. Oz sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Joe, Bill, I understand your concerns. Cloning a kidney isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1996, yes, but replicating an organ involves entirely different challenges—cell differentiation, immune compatibility, and—”
“Stop,” Bill interrupted, his voice sharp. “You’re telling me that in nearly 30 years, we haven’t advanced beyond cloning a sheep? That’s ridiculous. The technology exists. We know it does. What’s the real issue?”
Joe leaned in, his tone growing more insistent. “Selena doesn’t have time for excuses, Doctor. She’s young, talented, and loved by millions. If this were a billionaire or a politician, you’d already have a solution. So why not her?”
Dr. Oz shifted uncomfortably in his seat. “It’s not about money or influence. It’s about regulations, ethics, and the complexity of the science. Cloning organs requires—”
“Ethics?” Joe snapped. “You think ethics matter to someone fighting for their life? You think Selena cares about red tape when she’s facing dialysis every day? Do your damn job, Doctor.”
Bill nodded in agreement. “You’ve built your career on breakthroughs, on being the doctor who pushes boundaries. Well, here’s your chance to prove it. We’re not asking for miracles. We’re asking for action.”
Dr. Oz took a deep breath, his mind racing. He knew they were right. The science existed, buried under layers of bureaucracy and corporate interests. Cloning a kidney was possible, but it required resources, discretion, and, most importantly, courage.
“Okay,” he said finally, his voice steady. “I’ll look into it. But understand this: the risks are enormous. If this goes public—”
“It won’t,” Joe interrupted. “We’ll ensure total discretion. But make no mistake, Doctor: failure is not an option.”
Dr. Oz nodded, the weight of their words sinking in. He stood, his resolve hardening. “I’ll do everything I can. But this won’t be easy.”
As Dr. Oz left the room, Bill turned to Joe.
“Think he’ll follow through?” Bill asked.
Joe smirked. “He doesn’t have a choice. Selena’s counting on him. And so are we.”
The brothers sat in silence for a moment, their determination unshaken. For them, this wasn’t just about Selena Gomez. It was about pushing the boundaries of what was possible and holding the world’s most celebrated doctors accountable.
