Chapter 402: Fairness Disappears
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the matter of Christian Swift finally came to an end.
But Feng Xun's question has been hovering in Chen Yuyue's mind all along.
Chen Yuyue finally couldn't help but come to Ye Xuefu's office: "Let's talk about it when you have time." ”
Ye Xuefu motioned with a smile to pour Chen Yuyue a cup of hot tea: "Why did you come to chat with me at this time?"
"Let's talk about things at work during working hours. Chen Yuyue smiled.
Ye Xuefu was a little surprised: "Find me to talk about work?"
Xiaoxiao sent the prepared tea over, and Ye Xuefu motioned to her: "You go out first, don't let others disturb me, Minister Chen wants to talk to me about work." ”
"Yes. With a smile, she pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't think that Minister Chen and Mr. Ye could have any serious work to talk about, and it was almost the same to talk about love.
Then he left the office with a smile and went to guard the door for the two.
"I don't think it's natural to laugh just now. Chen Yuyue couldn't cry or laugh: "She can't have misunderstood something, right?"
"Okay, don't worry if she misunderstood, tell me what you're talking to me about. Ye Xuefu knocked on the table: "My working time is very precious. ”
Chen Yuyue immediately cleared his throat: "Ahem, that's the case, I want to know more about the research project that Professor Kangda has cooperated with our Tianya Group." ”
"When did you become interested in this. Ye Xuefu was very curious.
Chen Yuyue shrugged his shoulders: "I also want to pursue progress." ”
"Okay, since you want to know, then I'll talk to you. Ye Xuefu didn't have anything to deal with in a hurry today, and the time was relatively easy and free: "Before we talk, let me ask you, do you know the most common fatal disease in China?"
Chen Yuyue was stunned for a moment: "Cancer?"
Ye Xuefu nodded: "That's right, it's a malignant tumor, and lung cancer is the first." This is the case not only in China, but also around the world, where there is no specific treatment for more than 100 kinds of pain with different pathologies. Nowadays, people talk about cancer and discoloration as soon as there is a lump that can be touched and gradually increases in size on any part of the body. ”
Chen Yuyue took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.
"Then there's cerebrovascular disease. I don't need to say more about that. Ye Xuefu said: "This is the case with Lu Yuan's father. ”
"Well, I know that. Chen Yuyue said regretfully.
"Then there is heart disease, whether it is rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, or hypertensive heart disease, and heart diseases such as coronary heart disease and myocarditis, the mortality rate is quite high. Ye Xuefu said solemnly.
Chen Yuyue looked at Ye Xuefu and waited for her to continue.
"Then there are respiratory diseases, asthma, acute bronchitis, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Ye Xuefu said: "It's quite dangerous. ”
"Do these diseases have anything to do with the project that Professor Kangda is going to collaborate with us?" Chen Yuyue couldn't help but be curious.
Ye Xuefu smiled slightly: "Of course there is, and the relationship is quite close." The project that Professor Kangda wants to cooperate with Tianya Group is to try to start on human genetic engineering, trying to directly control these diseases at the source. ”
Chen Yuyue nodded in admiration: "The difficulty of this should be very huge, right?"
"Anything meaningful in life sciences is very difficult, but the difficulty is not the key to the problem, as long as we want to solve it, we can definitely find a solution. Ye Xuefu affirmed.
"No wonder it's crazy people who do research. Chen Yuyue smiled bitterly: "You think you will do such an unreliable thing, you are not a madman who is not competent at all." ”
"It's as exaggerated as you say, Professor Conda just wants to make his own contribution to humanity. Ye Xuefu said: "Professor Kang's kind of person is really rare, I admire him very much." ”
"I admire him too. Chen Yuyue said: "But if his research is successful, can it be used in other fields?"
Ye Xuefu was stunned for a moment: "For example?"
Chen Yuyue thought for a while: "For example...... Is it possible to make healthy people healthier and strong people stronger?"
Ye Xuefu shook her head and denied it very certainly: "No, this is not a drug that enhances the ability of the human body, it is a prohibited drug, even if Professor Kangda wants to study it, Tianya Group will not cooperate with him." ”
"Why not?" asked Chen Yuyue.
"The principle of the evolution of life on Earth has not changed for billions of years, and that is natural selection. Regardless of any kind of organism, the evolution of all life is determined by this criterion. Ye Xuefu said.
"But your research is also contrary to the evolution of life, although it seems to be well-intentioned. Chen Yu said: "So the law of natural selection may soon be subverted." ”
Ye Xuefu was stunned, and for a while she was really speechless to refute anything.
"Although my knowledge of bioengineering is only scratching the surface, I believe that humans have begun to take control of their own lives. Chen Yuyue said: "Human beings are accelerating natural selection through bioengineering. ”
Ye Xuefu nodded, she did not deny it: "That's right, it seems that we humans don't want to wait for millions of years to let natural selection or genetic mutation do the evolutionary ......"
"As long as you change the structure and DNA inside the brain, you can complete some unnatural evolution. Chen Yuyue said silently: "You have also seen that human wolf, we can be open and honest on this point." ”
"That's right. "Theoretically, people can really upgrade themselves...... Extract a gene from a jellyfish that can fluoresce and put it on a dog's body, and we can see a glowing dog, so implanting a fluorescent jellyfish gene into a human embryo will give us a glowing person. ”
It sounds amazing, but that's what changes humanity!
Because even the nature of death may change radically in the future!
Don't say that death is a law of the universe and that all living beings need to obey this law.
But in the future, it is possible to change this law.
The question of death is no longer a metaphysical one, but a technical one that can be solved.
Throughout human history, there have been solutions to technical problems.
And the American empire has created a company to solve the problem of human death.
If this problem is really solved, death may no longer be the greatest condition of human equality, but will become the greatest disagreement!
At present, death is an equal matter for everyone in the world, and it has been the case throughout history!
Poor people born under unfair conditions can also comfort themselves with this, thinking that no matter what happens to the rich now, they will die and be ashes, but when the time comes when they are rich and can not die, the only fairness in the world will not exist.
In fact, the same is true of the research projects of Tianya Group and Professor Kang, but it has not risen to that seriousness.
What does it mean if Professor Kang's research succeeds?
It means that this kind of medical treatment will be very costly and the vast majority of ordinary people will not be able to pay, but the rich can, they can stay healthy, and if they stay healthy, they will stay rich......
"Do you really think this is a good thing?" asked Chen Yuyue sincerely.
This question made Ye Xuefu fall into deep thought.
