Chapter 324: Solving the Puzzle
After the Committee on Science and Technology reached a resolution, everyone else left.
Zhou Yu asked Chen Jin puzzled: "Xiao Jin, why did you hint at me just now and agree to Wang Xiaoxiao's request."
Human cloning is a very troublesome project, and human cloning has already been achieved by biotechnology in various countries.
When Dolly the cloned sheep was born, there were no technical obstacles to cloning people.
The world's major powers have also cloned primates one after another.
At present, the main obstacle to human cloning is not the technical obstacle, but the appearance of human cloning, which will have a drastic impact on society, and the ethical issues of scientific research hinder the development of human cloning.
Whether human cloning has human rights or not, and whether human beings use human cloning as tools or as compatriots.
What if there are clones of several well-known people?
The fact that clones do appear in reality is a great social panic.
It is precisely because these are not technical issues that human cloning technology is still not recognized by the mainstream society.
In Western countries such as the United States, where the management of human cloning is most lax, scientists have only completed the cloning of human embryos.
They also did not dare to go against the tide and create real clones.
It's just that the pressure of public opinion makes them unbearable. If you make a human cloner, he will definitely die socially.
If we really want to take the lead, it is simply a victim of the king's precursor.
Other interested parties will definitely use the pressure of society and public opinion to bankrupt us and secretly study human cloning by standing on our corpses. ”
Zhou Yu's tone did not pause, and he directly asked all the doubts in his heart, he believed that Chen Jin was by no means talking nonsense.
Chen Jin should have a plan in his heart, but Zhou Yu really couldn't think of any way to avoid this kind of problem.
The whole society avoids cloning, and once this Pandora's box is opened, it is definitely not something that can be limited by a few laws.
Now some people are fighting for family property, and brothers are beating dogs' heads.
If the clone really appears, it is very likely that some unfilial son will clone his father and let the clone transfer his father's inheritance to him.
This is only a small harm of human cloning, and the greater harm caused by human cloning cannot be expressed in words.
After the proliferation of human cloning, the order that maintains the entire society will collapse.
Under the nest, there are no eggs. After the collapse of the social order, no matter how much Spark Technology has made before, it will not be able to make up for the price paid in the future.
"Husband, let me ask you a question, what is a human being." Chen Jin asked with a smile.
Zhou Yu waved his hand and replied helplessly: "This is a philosophical question for you, how can I answer it clearly."
I know that the human rights of clones and ordinary people are certainly not the same, and now the mainstream media says that all men are created equal, but in fact it is really just a slogan.
We believe that the world is peaceful, but in fact, there are only a handful of countries in the world that can maintain peace.
Even if millions of people are displaced in the Middle East, they are not as concerned as a fire in Paris.
This is the difference brought about by the strength of the country and the right to speak, but clones are inherently very topical.
The question of whether human beings are human or not is not something that we can solve and that we cannot agree on for centuries. ”
"Husband, you misunderstood what I meant, you want other people to agree that clones are human, and clones must show similar abilities to humans in order to arouse other people's sympathy.
If you make a monkey look like a human, will others be able to make it human? Do you give it the right to do so?
Definitely not. Eating and supporting as a virgin, such people are available all the time, but they are not the mainstream of society. Chen Jin gave an example.
After Zhou Yu heard Chen Jin's words, he immediately reacted and said, "Xiao Jin, you mean to restrict certain abilities of cloning people, so that they are obviously different from people."
"That's right, we are now mainly using the similarity of human clones to human bodies to verify the effects of genetic enhancement and cellular enhancement.
It's not that we don't lack labor and want to use clones as labor.
There is no need for clones to have the ability to think, and there is no need for clones to have the ability to reproduce.
A clone who can't think, can only lie in bed like a vegetative person, they can never wake up, they can't reproduce.
This kind of cloning, does anyone still think that they are human? Is there still a fight for the rights of such human cloning?
Are there any concerns about the impact of human cloning on human society?
Nor do they think that vegetative clones will have any impact on human society.
In this way, we break the chains that bind clones. ”
Chen Jin said that she had been thinking about the plan for a long time, when developing artificial organs, Xinghuo Technology needed to clone people as experimental equipment.
It is precisely because of the constraints of public opinion and other reasons that they choose more complex and riskier methods.
Chen Jin investigated on the Internet to understand what normal people think about cloned people.
She discussed human cloning with experts and synthesized the opinions of various sectors of society before she came up with this plan.
Zhou Yu said in surprise: "This is really a feasible method, when a clone does not have the normal characteristics of a human being, he can only become an experimental device."
Even if some people are still worried, we can choose to destroy the clones for a limited time.
As long as the clone completes the experiments that should be done, he will complete his mission, and he will not feel distressed at all about destroying it. ”
Zhou Yu also agreed with Chen Jin's plan, which is already a more feasible plan under the current social conditions.
What they developed was not a clone, but an anthropomorphic experimental device.
After the experimental equipment is developed, it will be destroyed after some feasibility tests.
Chinese law states that scientists can grow human embryos for half a month, after which they must be destroyed.
Now the clone project planned by Xinghuo Technology is not about cultivating people who can act independently, and the policy should be more relaxed.
After determining the development plan of the cloned human, Zhou Yu was ready to contact relevant experts and start customizing the genes of the cloned human.
Zhou Yu went to the Institute of Genetics to find Wang Xiaoxiao and explained his thoughts to him.
After Wang Xiaoxiao heard this, she said with some surprise in her eyes: "Mr. Zhou, you originally wanted to take this method, but it is not difficult technically.
We still haven't determined which gene in the human body controls the brain's thinking activity.
But we can cut out the entire chain of genes responsible for thinking, leaving only the tissues and organs of the cloned human being.
It's just that this plan is also easily restricted, we don't want to secretly make clones, and we also need to pass the review of the relevant state departments. ”
Zhou Yu said confidently: "You only need to revise the technical standards for the manufacture of clones according to my opinions, and form a specific manufacturing plan."
Whether the project can pass the national review or not is up to us, don't let this kind of clutter distract you from your work. ”
When Wang Xiaoxiao led the scientific research team to design the human cloning plan, Zhou Yu also learned from other scientists about this kind of scientific research project involving ethical issues through the network of Xinghuo Technology, and what relevant departments of the state are responsible for.
