Scientist: Hey Doc, you gonna use that foreskin you just cut?

Doc: No, go right ahead!

Scientist: thanks.

This is how I imagine this conversation goes down.

Yes, except there's also a line where the doc says, 'will you attest to the institutional review board that you won't use this to make a Kaiju/clone Hitler/travel through time and kill your grandfather, etc?'

And then they give it to them.

Those rules only exist because somebody couldn't help but travel through time to kill their grandfather Hitler who may or may have not have been a clone. It happens every time they don't enforce it.
