Chapter 1480: Rejection of Human Clones
"It feels like we're the villains. Xu Zhengping returned to the genetic engineering lab, his mind still immersed in the chaos of the scene.
Yang Rui nodded and said, "At the beginning of being a cloned sheep, I was a big villain." ”
"And you still do it?"
The silly white sweets were excited for a while, and their attention quickly shifted, and after that, there was a compliment. Of course, the premise is not to clone. Yang Rui has a clear understanding and in-depth thinking about whether to do cloned sheep and the consequences of cloning sheep.
Moreover, as a scientific researcher, Yang Rui has been unswervingly implementing after making a decision.
For example, to make a cloned sheep, it is necessary to hide it in the early stage, and to ask for the name of the national project, and after the completion of the later stage, at the first time Zheng Lao asked, he took the initiative to declare that he would not be a cloner, these are all decisions made by Yang Rui after careful consideration, and there will be no change because of anyone's praise or opposition.
Xu Zhengping didn't have Yang Rui's experience, so he wouldn't have the same cognition, and he couldn't help but doubt himself: "If you don't clone people, there will be praise?" Will you ...... That's a great idea. ”
"There's nothing wrong with the technology itself. Yang Rui said calmly: "The breakthrough of animal cloning technology is not only a breakthrough in cloning technology, but also a breakthrough in the human living environment. It can be said that animal cloning is not only not harmful to human survival, but on the contrary, it will be beneficial, and when everyone realizes this, praise will come. ”
"That'...... What about clones?"
"Clones, if you want me to describe them, are the garbage heap of cloning technology. Yang Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you think about it, all the ethical issues of cloning are actually focused on cloning. People aren't afraid that you cloned an identical sheep, and we don't particularly care if your pet has a cloned brother, but if anyone is cloned, even if we know that the clone can't be exactly the same as ourselves, we still have to worry. ”
"So, you can't be a clone?"
"There are many reasons why you can't clone people, and you can't overestimate human self-control, especially when it comes to life. When Yang Rui said this, his voice was low, and he said: "Once the clone is born, the first thing we face is the question of how we treat the clone, whether to treat it as an object or a natural person?"
"Of course it's a natural person. Xu Zhengping's reflexive answer was obviously thinking about the same question.
Yang Rui pursed his lips and said, "You don't count what you said." However, even if everyone thinks that clones are natural people, the next thing we have to face is the question of the self-perception of the clone race, do they think they are natural people?"
Xu Zhengping was stunned.
He watched too little sci-fi and didn't think of it yet.
Yang Rui said: "You don't have to answer, because no one can answer this question." This is a more complicated issue than the national question, and there are not enough ethnic conflicts around the world? Let's develop a new technology, how much conflict can you say? ”
Xu Zhengping was silent.
"Human society, in the final analysis, is a civilized society, and human beings in a civilized society can neither use human cloning as biological material nor use the labor force of human cloning, so where is the value of human cloning? To put it cruelly, in the current environment, human cloning is harmful to the human race. The development of human cloning technology is really working for criminals. Yang Rui said with a smile and said: "We are still engaged in family planning, for fear that the earth will not be able to bear so many people, and whoever engages in human cloning technology will be the public enemy of the earth." ”
"I didn't expect you to think so much. Xu Zhengping was ashamed of himself.
"I didn't just think about it, I wrote it. Yang Rui took out a stack of printer paper from the drawer like a trick, threw it to Xu Zhengping, and said, "The article I wrote, please correct it." ”
Xu Zhengping put it right in confusion, and saw the title in bold on the homepage: "Reject Clones".
"Good fellow, you are ......"
"Proposal. Yang Rui said: "The four languages of Chinese, English, French and Russian will be published together in newspapers and periodicals in many countries around the world. ”
"Are they willing to publish it?" Xu Zhengping paused for a moment and hurriedly said, "I mean, we just gave so many foreign reporters to ...... It's stripped off, they don't post articles to scold us, it's all right......"
"There are two kinds of reporters who make trouble at the door of our laboratory, one is a young reporter with a good position, and the other is a young reporter with insufficient brains. Yang Rui knocked on his head and said: "If a reporter's brain is not enough, it does not mean that the newspapers and media are not enough." Therefore, whether or not someone is sent to our laboratory, or whether or not someone comes to our laboratory in private, if I give them news, few people will refuse. ”
Yang Rui said this, maintaining strong confidence, and said: "Western media want news, and pretend to be neutral, so don't say that the position of my article is what they like, even if they don't like it, they have to send it out to express their neutral position, at the very least, there is a space for discussion." ”
"It's good that you've decided. Xu Zhengping felt that his brain was no longer enough, and hurriedly said: "I'll read the article first." ”
"Yes. Yang Rui gave up the place, went to the bookshelf to find a book, and sat on the sofa at the door as if to pass the time, drinking tea and reading at the same time.
Yang Rui's genetic engineering laboratory has an advantage, that is, the site is large enough, and the standard of construction is high, and after it is made in full accordance with the national project, the boss's office becomes quite comfortable.
In addition to the suite-style structure, Yang Rui's office is only in the living room, which can place a sofa group of 12 people, and a small tea table can be set aside next to it. The large desk and chair in the back occupy half of the space of the basketball court, which is quite okay in terms of style.
At present, there are actually restrictions on the office space of leading cadres, but ordinary people do not know about it, let alone have the intention of implementing it.
Even if Yang Rui doesn't come to the genetic engineering laboratory often, the office still exceeds the standard, which is taken for granted.
Xu Zhengping read the article for a short time, and when he raised his head again, he saw Yang Rui looking leisurely, and couldn't help but say with a strange expression: "I've finished reading it." ”
"How's the article?," Yang Rui asked.
"It's not just passable. Xu Zhengping's tone was fluctuating, and he said: "You have been asked to say both the right and the back, and no one has anything to say." ”
"How can this be called the opposite? Yang Rui was not ashamed at all, and said: "I developed the technology of cloning sheep, but I oppose the abuse of this technology, and I am even more opposed to others progressing it to the level of cloning people." It's as if Albert Einstein made a huge contribution to the explosion of the atomic bomb, and at the same time, he also opposed the development of the nuclear bomb. Do you say?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. "What else can Xu Zhengping say?
