Headquarters of Bluestar Group.

The Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Health, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and many other institutions in China made a special trip from Yanjing to Bluestar Group.

To a certain extent, the voice of public opinion is also the voice of the country's top leadership.

Minister Wan first set the tone for the meeting, "We are not criticizing anyone this time, but talking about the legal and moral feasibility of gene technology. First of all, let's affirm that the gene technology of Bluestar Group has indeed brought Huaguo's medical biology forward several steps. ”

The meeting begins.

The Ministry of Health explores this issue from a technical point of view, "After the gene is changed, does the child still belong to the parents from the perspective of genetology?" This issue needs to be further demonstrated. ”

Chen Nuo said: "In fact, there is no need to think too much about this issue, human beings have always evolved, and the meaning of heterosexual reproduction is to make the genes of the next generation different from the previous generation, so that there is genetic diversity, so as to ensure that human beings can adapt to the environment and survive in the changing environment." No child has the same genes as the father or mother, and the genes at the angle of personal identification are more than 99.95% at 16 loci, and more than 99.99% at 20 loci belong to the immediate family. The gene point modified by our genetic technology is a small part of thousands of genes, and it will not break through this limit. Therefore, in terms of law and medicine, there will not be a situation where the child born by oneself is not one's own. ”

A scholar from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, an elderly man in his seventies, agrees with the development of gene technology by Bluestar Group, but resolutely disagrees with the application of gene technology to ordinary clinical practice, let alone the use of gene technology in the commercial field.

What is the Business Sector?

In the business field, local tyrants can spend money to modify the genes of the next generation, not just to cure diseases.

The old professor pointed angrily: "This is a blasphemy against life, and it is also a blasphemy against nature!" Human beings should follow the development of nature, not force it to change! People are also part of nature! ”

The views of the old professors represent the views of a large part of China.

Deleting and replacing the genes of the next generation, although this method is much gentler than directly creating genes, is not much worse, and it is also not acceptable to conservatives.

"It's really unethical!" Some of the experts who came to the country said: "The state can develop this technology, but it can only be applied to the screening and modification of defective genes, and cannot be applied to the commercial field." And the state must carry out all-round supervision of the technology! ”

The discussion became lively.

"I agree with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, how can this kind of technical term state secret be applied to the commercial field! The Blue Star Group has made a bad start, which will only make the gap between the rich and the poor wider, and you have now aroused public anger! ”

"Chairman Chen, let's not say that Bluestar Group can't develop gene technology. The state will definitely support the development of advanced science and technology, but the application of technology must be cautious! If you use it to cause diseases and save people, you are the hero of the people, and if you use it to make money in the business field, you will be stained with the smell of copper, and the people will not be happy! ”

Technical discussions evolve into moral judgments.

In the end, many experts set a tone for the Bluestar Group - it is okay to save people, but not to make money, stop selling genetic health packages and genetic beauty packages, and only screen and change newborn defective genes.

Chen Nuo didn't speak when everyone was discussing, and when everyone finished discussing, Chen Nuo stood up and asked Dai Yanfei to play PPT on the big screen.

Everyone was quiet.

The content on the PPT is not flashy, only cold data.

It says that hundreds of thousands of babies are born every year because of genetic defects, and hundreds of thousands of women terminate their pregnancies every year because of genetic defects.

The birth of these defective babies places a heavy burden on families and countries.

Many families are destitute because of defective babies, and many parents have ruined their lives because of defective babies.

The state will also pay a considerable price for the follow-up treatment, care, and learning of the defective baby. These costs are not measured in money, and many are also oh invisible.

The latter set of data is Bluestar's estimated cost of screening and treatment of defective genes.

The minimum is 300,000 RMB, and the maximum is 1 million RMB.

Such a large number of expenses are beyond the reach of ordinary families.

Everyone was silent.

Chen Nuo said: "The screening and treatment of a defective fetus costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of RMB, and I am only talking about the cost price, not the price of Bluestar Group's profits." Now that the treatment of defective fetuses is not included in the scope of medical insurance by the state, who will pay for it? Is it the state or the family? And how many families can afford it? ”

Chen Nuo stood up, "When encountering a defective fetus, the hospital's advice is to knock it out coldly." As everyone knows, this is a life, and many women can no longer have children after killing their children, resulting in a lifetime of regrets. Who is responsible for this psychological loss? Country or family? ”

"Bluestar Group does have money, but it is impossible to treat every patient for free. We have now set up a fund for the treatment of genetically defective fetuses, which is basically free of charge. So where does the fee come from? It's from these rich people. ”

"The rich get a certain amount of enjoyment and privilege, but they contribute an equal amount of money. That's fairness! ”

Chen Nuo said simply: "If everyone here"

(Wait a few minutes) (Wait a few minutes) (Wait a few minutes) (Wait a few minutes) (Wait a few minutes)
