<Born in Rio Branco, state of Acre, Enéas Carneiro was only registered 9 years later in Belém do Pará. Fatherless since he was 9 years old, he has always worked to help the family. At age 19, he moved to Rio de Janeiro in pursuit of his dream of graduating in medicine. He then entered the Army Health School where he graduated 3rd Assistant Sergeant of anesthesia in 1959. He graduated in medicine in 1965 and has a master's degree in cardiology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He is also trained in physics and mathematics.
>What should the press do when they see a doctor who has worked his whole life, who has taught his whole life, who trained young people, who was never late for his course, who set an example of citizenship by training people, who was always dedicated to work and not going on strike, studying and working? Why didn't the press ask me what I thought in [19]89? Because...
<[unintelligible]
>One minute! Why only five years later, when I categorically proved that I didn't want to belong to the system? Why only five years later did the press become interested?
>I want order, I want respect, I want freedom of expression, but I want responsibility, too. And I want to believe that there is no family man who likes to turn on an instrument, a television set at 7 o'clock at night and see on the screen exposed scenes of lewdness, lust, lubricity, almost explicit sex that deform the developing personality of his children. I don't believe there are any sane family men who like that.
<Dr. Eneas...
>These theses are clear, I'm repeating them as I always have.
<Okay-
>The homosexual, without a doubt, belongs to a group, you see, that if it were generalized it would represent extinction of the species. Two homosexuals...
<And you speak from studies, sir-
>My God! The two fo-two homosexuals have spermatozoa, not ovules! Reproduction is impossible! Please! This is a primary course, not a university gymnasium!
<No-
>Please! Please!
<Alright, alright-
>No!
<It's obvious, right, doctor? [chuckle]
>No, but he's asking!
<[uninteligible] No, it's okay, it's okay, I was- I got the question wrong-
>You are the one who asked the question, not me!
<Okay. [chuckles]
>Please!
>The homosexual is a human being like any other. A human being who deserves respect, deserves education, deserves school, I mean, education, deserves a hospital, everything. Now, it's one thing for him to exist as a human being. I'm going to speak very slowly so there are no distortions. It is another thing for him to be held up as an example of sexual behavior. Take a good look: He can be an example as an artist. Artist, a sculptor, a painter. Now, he can't, whoever says that is wrong, because society, you see, is made to reproduce itself. I'm not even using biblical texts, I'm talking about science. The greatest of all impulses that exist on the planet is the preservation of the species. It is greater even than the preservation of the individual himself. So, homosexuality, you see, it cannot be presented as a third way, as a natural way! No. Homosexuality is, you see, a deviation. Of what nature it is, there is a lot of discussion, a lot of discussion. When you quoted the World Health Organization I know what you are saying. There is a lot of discussion, there is no consensus.
