Captain Jonathan Archer: A cure, Doctor? Have you found a cure?Dr. Phlox: [after some hesitation] Even if I could find one, I'm not sure it would be ethical.Captain Jonathan Archer: Ethical?Dr. Phlox: We'd be interfering with an evolutionary process that has been going on for thousands of years.Captain Jonathan Archer: Every time you treat an illness, you're interfering. That's what doctors do.Dr. Phlox: You're forgetting about the Menk.Captain Jonathan Archer: What about the Menk?Dr. Phlox: I've been studying their genome as well, and I have seen evidence of increasing intelligence - motor skills, linguistic abilities. Unlike the Valakians, they appear to be in the process of an evolutionary awakening. It may take millennia; but the Menk have the potential to become the dominant species on this planet.Captain Jonathan Archer: And that won't happen as long as the Valakians are around?Dr. Phlox: If the Menk are to flourish, they need an opportunity to survive on their own.Captain Jonathan Archer: Well, what are you suggesting? We choose... one species over the other?Dr. Phlox: All I'm saying is that we let nature make the choice.Captain Jonathan Archer: The hell with nature. You're a doctor. You have a moral obligation to help people who are suffering.Dr. Phlox: [firmly] I'm also a scientist; and I'm obligated to consider the larger issues. 35,000 years ago, your species co-existed with other humanoids, isn't that correct?Captain Jonathan Archer: [sighs] Go ahead.Dr. Phlox: What if an alien race had interfered and given the Neanderthals an evolutionary advantage? Fortunately for you, they didn't.Captain Jonathan Archer: I appreciate your perspective on all of this. But we're talking about something that might happen. *Might* happen thousands of years from now. They've asked for our help. I am not prepared to walk away, based on a theory.Dr. Phlox: Evolution is more than a theory. It is a fundamental scientific principle. Forgive me for saying so - but I believe your compassion for these people is affecting your judgment.Captain Jonathan Archer: My compassion guides my judgment.Dr. Phlox: Captain...Captain Jonathan Archer: Can you find a cure?[Phlox hesitates]Captain Jonathan Archer: Doctor?Dr. Phlox: [after a long pause] I already have.
