Chapter 807: Genetic Modification Project
Bai Yuxiao put away the few milliliters of blood, "Want to know?" ”
Yan Muye: "I must want to know!" I want to know what I'm worth, and what experiments you want to do with my blood. ”
Bai Yuxiao: "Do you know about genetic engineering?" ”
Yan Muye looked embarrassed: "Well, this ...... It doesn't seem to be my scope of involvement. ”
"You're not going to be involved in this experiment, are you! There are experiments on human genetic molecules. ”
Bai Yuxiao smiled thoughtfully: "You are very smart, we are indeed doing experiments in this area." ”
"Genetic engineering, also known as gene splicing technology and DNA recombination technology, is based on molecular genetics as the theoretical basis, with the modern methods of molecular biology and microbiology as a means, according to the pre-designed blueprint of genes from different sources, in vitro to construct hybrid DNA molecules, and then introduce into living cells to change the original genetic characteristics of organisms, obtain new varieties, and produce new products."
"There was once a particularly famous scientist who predicted that in the near future, that is, in the legendary future, there would be superhuman beings."
"Now according to his prophecy, this research has been being done all the time. And now that we have reached the basic conclusions and discoveries through most of the previous experiments, genetic engineering will create a new human species. They have a longer intelligence, stronger physical functions and intelligence, and a very special instinct and perception. And the innate immune system will be much stronger than that of ordinary normal humans, and can be immune to most diseases and viruses. ”
"At the same time, in addition to the above benefits, this new wheel species also has its own disadvantages, that is, it will bring threats to other normal humans."
Yan Muye's whole interest was aroused by the topic that Bai Yuxiao said: "Wow, the genetic engineering you said is so magical." ”
"But can genetic engineering alone really change the evolution of humans many years ago?"
Bai Yumi is an extremely rigorous person, and he will never comment on any uncertain events without getting the facts and conclusions. His brows furrowed, "Maybe if this genetic engineering really wants to change the evolutionary history of human beings for thousands of years, after saying it, it may make people feel that they are beyond their strength." ”
"But we don't deny any possibility, predictability. Genetic engineering technology provides a powerful means for the study of gene structure and function. It is an important branch of bioengineering, which together with cell engineering, enzyme engineering, protein engineering and microbial engineering, constitutes bioengineering. ”
"We are now just on the road of exploration, facing the unknown and the possibilities, and always maintaining curiosity and desire to learn."
Yan Muye nodded: "Hmm... I do not deny this point of view. ”
But what happens if this technology is applied to people who shouldn't? Will it be confusing? Breaking the laws of nature? ”
Bai Yuxiao: "We are only in the preliminary stage of studying genetic engineering modification, and only when that technology reaches the mature stage will it cause the problem you are talking about." And what you just raised is indeed what we need to consider. None of us can deny this. ”
