The Fifteenth Doctor and Belinda Chandra
fromDoctor: And look - the main difference between humans and Missbelindachandrakind... Instead of the kidneys and the liver, all the detox is carried out here in an organ called the pasculum.
Belinda: It's like a second diaphragm.
Doctor: Exactly. The diaphragm kind of protects it like a sheath.
Belinda: Is that better or worse than humans?
Doctor: If you start deciding which body is best, you're going down a very dangerous path.
