SPONTANEOUS GENERATION grows more and more impossible, it seems. Our civilization's relentless progress towards a controlled creation has brought us beyond test-tube babies to DNA-making; we don't even need the sperm and the egg any more. Careful analysis, research and thought have unraveled the fundamental mystery of human life. Soon our children won't be merely the fruit of our desires, but of conscious intellect. "I think, therefore I am" takes on a new dimension...
Somewhat surprisingly, this disorganized industry has a record of technological innovation. Because of improvements in feed and genetics, a broiler now takes only seven weeks to go from egg to slaughterhouse, less than half the time it took to reach eating size a generation ago. At Connecticut's Arbor Acres Farm, geneticists foresee a six-week broiler by the early 1980s...

Because we've been unable to crack the black vote, we don't have elected black officials. We're in a chicken-and-egg situation.

...Tarkovsky refuses to lay this great symbolic egg and then just leave it there as nothing but a symbolic egg. He embellishes the metaphor with many more illusions and ideas, emotions and moments of suspense, dabbed subtly here, dropped subtly there for contemplation. Thus Kelvin must not only reconcile himself to the idea of dreams incarnate, but to a materialized, breathing, caressing version of his former wife, who had committed suicide on Earth. He becomes sucked in by his desire to love this bionic apparition, neutrinos or no. Stanley Kubrick may have meant to convey this same space-subconscious analogy...
