Chapter 497: Giving birth to a child for the future of mankind
Chen Xinjie pushed the door in, curling Tingting, with a gust of fragrant wind.
She put the teacup in her hand in front of Luo Yuan, and reminded softly in her ear: "Mayor, there are still ten minutes before the meeting time." ”
In the past two years, not only has science and technology developed greatly, but the personnel of the city government has also undergone some changes, some people have been removed from office due to corruption or unable to keep up with the situation, and some people have also been promoted.
His former secretary, Cheng Guanghui, was transferred to a new position and assumed the post of director of the Industrial Bureau, and the vacant position of secretary was also held by Chen Xinjie.
Of course, for Cheng Guanghui, such a promotion may not be gratifying, and while being in charge, it also means staying away from the core level.
In fact, Luo Yuan didn't have an opinion on Cheng Guanghui, let alone some kind of inhumane thoughts, everything was just a normal organizational transfer.
Generally speaking, the secretary next to the leader will not be transferred after serving for more than three years. On the one hand, it is not to block the future of his subordinates, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid the theft of power from the top.
After all, as his secretary, he is his spokesperson and mouthpiece, and his every move represents his will, or in the eyes of others, it represents his will. Especially in this era of power concentration, the power and influence of the secretary is even greater than that of other Standing Committee members.
This is undoubtedly an abnormal phenomenon!
Choosing Chen Xinjie as a secretary, the most important thing is to know the roots, she has little desire for power, and she is also very principled, not to mention that compared with other people who Luo Yuan is not familiar with, he naturally trusts the people around him more.
In this regard, Luo Yuan is not exempt from vulgarity.
Luo Yuan looked at the time and said, "It's still early, wait until I finish reading this pile of documents." ”
Chen Xinjie didn't bother anymore, and left quickly, Luo Yuan finished processing the few documents in front of him, then got up and straightened his clothes, and walked out of the office, Chen Xinjie from the secretariat picked up the information and immediately followed.
Taking advantage of the free time on the road, Chen Xinjie whispered: "Is the fertility rate of human beings so low now?" ”
"It's been like this since the end of the world, although the unlocking virus hasn't mutated most of the human race, but subtle changes have been made, and now the differences between human individuals are more than ten times that of pre-apocalyptic humans, which seriously affects the fertility rate." Luo Yuan said in a somewhat heavy tone
In order to publicize the evil of the Boxing people, the evil virus that unlocked the virus, which caused the mutation of the earth's creatures and led to the large-scale death of human beings, has long been made public, and Chen Xinjie has naturally heard of it and is not unfamiliar with it.
After chatting a few words, the two were about to walk to the conference room, and the guard guarding at the door saw the two coming in, and immediately shook their spirits and opened the door of the conference room.
The conference was not a high-level meeting, but a policy seminar, and in addition to the top leaders, most of the participants were well-known scientists and professors.
didn't waste any time, as soon as Luo Yuan came in, the meeting began under his auspices.
"This is the latest statistics on the data of newborns in major hospitals in the past two years, as of now, a total of only 3,320 people have been born, this low fertility rate is terrible, it is completely unsustainable for the race, if no measures are taken, at most 500 years, human beings are estimated to eventually become extinct! I think the specific information has already been sent to you, and I should have already read it, so you can talk freely about any countermeasures, and talk about your own thoughts on human cloning. Luo Yuan said.
Chen Xinjie in the corner quickly recorded the minutes of the meeting, and looked at Luo Yuan with burning eyes from time to time, in her heart, Luo Yuan at this time was the most attractive time.
"Respected mayor and leaders, I am against cloning, with our current technology, it is indeed not difficult to achieve cloning, but simply increasing the population will not improve the fertility rate, unless, in the future, human beings give up natural reproduction, completely rely on cloning to maintain the continuation of the race, but this will have a huge impact on the current human society, the previous social model of the family unit will collapse, and the society will be chaotic. I think that in response to this phenomenon of low fertility, it is still a long-term way to study special drugs and slowly figure it out. A gray-haired social science professor from the university stood up and said heavily.
Luo Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't expect the first person to speak to come out against cloning.
"I think this old professor is a little too conservative, every social progress will have an impact on society, the matriarchal era of primitive society, the era of clan huddles in the feudal era, and the era of small families before the end of the world, have explained everything.
The development of productive forces will naturally impact the original society, which is unavoidable and unavoidable, and now there is little left of mankind, and space is also not a safe place. As soon as he finished speaking, a scientist stood up and objected.
He was quite young, he didn't even look like he was even thirty years old, but in this day and age, such scientists are almost everywhere, but being young also means that he is receptive to new things, and he is undoubtedly much more radical than those conservative and old-fashioned academics.
Luo Yuan was noncommittal about this, cloning is naturally a fierce medicine to solve the population problem, and the effect is immediate, but fierce drugs often have serious side effects, even in the era of the reconstruction area, human beings are under great pressure to survive, and cloning is only secret, not public at all.
Now that the pressure of survival has disappeared temporarily, once the cloning of human beings is detected by the people, I am afraid that it will usher in an uproar and cause huge controversy, although he can implement it strongly, but his reputation among the people will also fall to the bottom, so even if Luo Yuan has the idea of cloning for a long time, he must be cautious.
"I agree with part of the old professor's opinion, of course, I am not against human cloning, but only against unplanned cloning, I think the time has come for mankind to write a human genetic project again!" At this time, Director Wu also stood up, because of the artificial synthesis of smart medicine project, he was once the biggest authority in genetics, but unfortunately until a year or two passed, there was no result, and now he is about to be marginalized:
"This time, of course, it is not the previous gene sequencing, but to understand the functions of various genomes, to write a complete genome function map, we want to redefine the genetic standards of human beings, delete those individualized genes that are affected by the unlocking virus and hinder reproduction, and some genetic defects left over from the evolutionary process, when the time comes, we can achieve eugenics and fertility when the fertilized egg is ......"
The old man before, at first, thought that the other party supported his point of view, but he didn't expect that the more he listened, the more outrageous it became, this point of view was more radical than the previous one, which was completely unacceptable to him, and before he could finish speaking, he stood up and interrupted angrily: "Ridiculous, is this still a human being, this is an industrial product in a factory, it's just ridiculous." ”
"As a researcher in genetics, there is not much difference between humans and industrial products in my eyes." Director Wu immediately retorted without concessions: "Life is not so sacred, evolution can also interfere, and the development of science and technology is to serve human beings themselves, since we have better technology, why not make up for ourselves." Better human beings, longer lifespans, this will be another driving force for the development of human civilization! ”
The venue suddenly became noisy, with everyone either talking to each other or arguing in whispers, and as time went on, the scene became more and more lively.
"Please maintain discipline in the venue!" Luo Yuan had to remind that if this argument continued, it would be possible for conservatives and radicals on both sides to fight. Of course, he is also a young man, and he is still more inclined to the views of the radicals, who undoubtedly represent the vitality of human civilization today compared to the somewhat dull conservatives.
But then again, being too radical will also be unacceptable to most people, and in this position, he must balance the views of the two factions and come up with a safe solution.
Luo Yuan groaned slightly, and then spoke: "Everyone has a heated discussion, but I think cloning and natural reproduction are not contradictory, and they can't be choked because of the negative effects of cloning, many couples now want a child, maybe we can provide fertilized egg services for people who need this aspect." ”
"I agree with the mayor!" Bi Jianping, who was next to him, immediately cooperated: "As long as the publicity is done well, there will be a great demand in this regard." Like, 'Have a child for the future of mankind!' ’”
……
Luo Yuan's plan was naturally passed without controversy, but this does not mean that this plan can be implemented immediately, there are still many things to be done, first of all, the problem of the appearance of clones and cloned people, which is also the problem that human beings are most worried about, if this problem is not solved, it will seriously affect the effect of specific implementation.
However, there is no obstacle to this, and I am afraid that no one would have thought that he is the real authority on human genes, and he has written a functional map of the human genome almost alone, including tens of thousands of evolutionary genes. His powerful body and the clones of his family, who are different from each other, are the best answers.
In addition, with the help of the experimental equipment of the Boxing people, human beings already have the ability to directly microscopicly edit genes, and it is estimated that as long as it takes another year or two, all the conditions will be ripe.
Moreover, the plan proposed by Luo Yuan is just a stopgap measure, just a transition, when human beings begin to give birth to cloned human children and gradually accept the existence of human cloning, the time for large-scale cloning will also be ripe.
After the meeting, he asked the genetic scientists to stay and continue the meeting.
In the afternoon of the same day, a large research institute called the "Human Genome Optimization Project" was inaugurated, and in the following days, through an executive order, more and more researchers were transferred to the institute.
With the reference of the genome functional spectrum compiled by Luo Yuan himself, as well as the deliberate tilt of the share of smart medicines, the human genome optimization plan is suddenly like a pair of wings, and it is developing at an incredible speed.
