>> well, you know, she was born at the gladys porter zoo, hence the name gladys. from birth. that happens sometimes because gorillas have to learn a lot of skills they need to know like maternal care. the gladys zoo did an excellent job taking care of her themselves but didn't have any options for a surrogate mom there because all their other gorillas had babies themselves. so we all got together, cincinnati, gladys porter, the gorilla species survival plan which manages gorillas in north america, looked for the best option, and it was to come to cincinnati to be with some of our experienced mothers. >> you know what i think is so interesting you've got ten humans acting as a surrogate mother to gladys, and they actually wear sort of furry vests over black uniforms, if you will, right, to feel like much like normal as possible? >> like i'm wearing here today. yeah, we try and make every -- we try and act like gorillas to gladys. we're just holding her temporarily. we're keeping her temporarily until we can get her in with a real gorilla as quickly as possible. bef

it's also law 101. 70 years ago, a soda bottle exploded and injured the hand of a waitress named gladys escola. she sued the bottler, and the court decision has been in almost every law student's first-year classes ever since. in a famous concurrence, justice traynor ruled in the case of escolav. coca-cola bottling company that the cost of her injuries should fall on the bottler. his logic was simple and clear. they made the bottle. if they didn't have to pay for the injuries exploding bottles caused, they would just keep making exploding bottles. if you made them responsible for the exploding bottle they made, they would have a big incentive to improve their bottles, and everyone would be safer. as judge traynor said it 70 years ago, and i quote -- "public policy demands that responsibility be fixed wherever it will most effectively reduce the hazards." so this idea that you shouldn't be able to offload your costs and have the park or the river or miss escola's hand pay the price is not new and it's not unusual, and frankly we see it in our own lives. it's also fairness 101 as well as
