Chapter 580: The Ethics of Change

Previously, Su Xiaoxiao had been hesitating whether to tell her father about her relationship with Chen Xin, but after this life and death experience, she seemed to have figured it out, and actually offered to take Chen Xin to meet her parents.

Chen Xin naturally wouldn't let the girl down, nodded and smiled: "Okay, why don't we go today?"

Su Xiaoxiao immediately blushed, waved her hand and said, "Today, I still don't want it today, let's talk about it in two days...... Oh yes, you're going to a molecular biology workshop in another hour, and I'll help you get the material ready. ”

As she spoke, she ran out of Chen Xin's office like a frightened rabbit.

Chen Xin shook his head and smiled, and shouted behind her, "Xiaoxiao, don't forget to inform Dr. Miller that I will visit him tonight."

"Got it!"

……

After obtaining 10,000 genetic pills equivalent to the level of a third-level civilization from the Tianqin civilization, Chen Xin immediately organized human scientists to test them.

The test results showed that these so-called genetic agents can actually make normal cells cancerous.

At first, all the scientists involved in the test were taken aback.

As we all know, cancer is one of the most malignant diseases facing mankind today, and at least 10 million people die from cancer every year worldwide.

This legendary elixir of life is actually a highly toxic drug that causes cancer in humans.

Even Chen Xin was very surprised.

However, based on the most basic trust in the technology of the fifth-level civilization, Yang Lin asked the scientists to continue to observe the cancer-stricken mice.

Soon, scientists found that the cancer-stricken mice did not die as people thought, and there were strange changes in their bodies, although the original normal tissue cells in its body were transformed into cancer cells step by step, but the cancer cells did not multiply indefinitely. Instead, they are gradually transformed into embryonic stem cells of mice, which are gradually differentiated and re-differentiated into tissue cells of various organs in mice.

This conversion process lasted for about half a month, and almost all the cells in the mouse's body were renewed.

The mice baptized by genetic drugs became younger and stronger than before, such a miraculous scene that almost all scientists were stunned.

And so quickly. Application reports were submitted to Chen Xin's desk, and biological scientists collectively demanded human trials of the genetic drug.

Chen Xin also pushed the boat down the river and agreed.

However, how to choose the real yàn body has become the focus of everyone's debate.

It's not that everyone is unwilling, but there are too many people vying to become a member of the real body, not only those scientists, but even high-ranking officials from various countries who know the inside story.

At this time, Chen Xin had to stand up, and he mentioned yì. The real yàn body is selected from people who are terminally ill and have made significant contributions to humanity.

Only then did the dispute settle down.

In the end, Chen Xin selected 50 people as the first batch of real yàn bodies of genetic medicine, including the famous theoretical physicist, Hawking who suffered from Yan zhòng's amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Yu Min, the father of China's hydrogen bomb, and others.

These people were injected with genetic drugs, all of them were sent to the nutrition pod, and after half a month of sleep, they woke up smoothly. When they came out of the nutrition pod, almost everyone was taken aback.

Because not only have these people gone with all their original diseases. And they have almost all returned to their prime, from gray-haired old men to strong young people.

And when they learned that they could live for more than 900 years, most of the fifty who tried the genetic medicine cried with joy, and a few even fell to their knees in excitement.

The shock brought by the genetic drug is almost explosive, and both scientists and politicians from various countries were still skeptical when they heard Chen Xin say that this drug can extend the life span of human beings to a thousand years. But after seeing this with their own eyes, these people no longer have any doubts.

The biologists were even more excited, and during this time, Chen Xin often had to attend various seminars, including medical ones. There are genetics, genetic engineering, and even some botanists and paleontologists come to join in the fun.

Research projects in various biological directions have also been vigorously approved by the Science and Technology Committee, and the resources they have requested have even exceeded the funding for basic scientific research, and Chen Xin had to intervene to ease this frenzy a little.

However, the problems caused by genetic drugs are not without their problems.

The most troublesome thing is the ethical problem.

In particular, the first batch of people who participated in the experiment, when they returned to their younger years, found it difficult to deal with their gray-haired wives and children who looked older than themselves.

This already involves ethical issues, and Chen Xin doesn't have a good way to deal with it.

In a way, these people are no longer the same species as ordinary humans, they belong to the new human race, and they are destined to take a completely different path from the human race on Earth.

And from a certain point of view, Chen Xin is happy to see such a problem come to fruition.

Because in the future, he wants to change not only people's worldview and values, but also human ethics, and even the concept of childbirth.

According to the reproductive ability of human beings, as long as they have enough resources, it is very easy for a couple to have five or six children in the golden time of twenty years, but once they have a long life of a thousand years and have enough resources, how big should the human family be?

The picture of dozens of generations of ancestors and grandchildren in the same house is terrifying to think about.

More importantly, such families and clans will even cause serious turmoil and insecurity to human society in the future.

As we all know, the inheritance of power and the inheritance of wealth are one of the root causes of corruption and inequality in the history of human society.

After thousands of years of development, the succession of power has slowly developed from the ancient natural meaning to the DuCai system that most people in modern times hate.

So the question is, compared to the inheritance of power, what about the inheritance of wealth?

Even in contemporary society, the inheritance of wealth carries a natural legitimacy in almost all people's perceptions.

But this is precisely one of the root causes of the emergence and solidification of the leading classes, the poor class and the middle class, the middle class and the small and medium-sized capitalist class, the small and medium-sized capitalist class and the elite class, not to mention the political families and super conglomerates that occupy a lot of resources.

All men are created equal, which is just a matter of words in contemporary society.

Even in the future, there will be differences in status for various reasons.

But Chen Xin must ensure that in the near future, all new human beings will be able to stand on the same starting line at the beginning of his life. (To be continued......)
