Chapter 40: The Genetic Test of Thought
When I got up the next morning, I was already a son-in-law, and when I went out in the morning, Jiang's mother even blamed Jiang He for not preparing a few decent autumn clothes for me: "This is Shanghai, you still let him wear single clothes when it's so cold?" You can't just take care of yourself! ”
In the office, we waited for Jiang Feng to finish the necessary affairs first, and during the time, we saw Dr. Meng again, she still greeted us with a smile, but I always felt that she smiled a little unnaturally.
Jiang Feng finished his work, came over and sat on the sofa, and looked at us: "What do you want to talk to me about, babies?" It's time to go. ”
Jiang He didn't go around in circles: "It's still the same old question, what is the purpose of your previous experiment?" What is the fate we face? ”
Jiang Feng smiled bitterly: "The test is over for you, and it has nothing to do with you, why do you have to search hard?" ”
Jiang He looked at her father for a while before asking, "Then tell you the truth, do the two of us have the ability to have children?" ”
Jiang Feng's face was pulled down, and he sat there looking at the front and was silent, letting time pass, so the three of us fell into an extremely awkward confrontation situation.
After a while, Jiang He asked the question again, but Jiang Feng still refused to answer, and looked straight ahead with a straight face. I watched Jiang He's face become more and more blue, and when she was about to explode, I rushed to the front and said, "Let's talk rationally, don't lose your temper, in fact, the answer doesn't need to be spoken." I want to ask Daddy Jiang, why don't you feel any guilt when you caused us to lose our fertility? ”
Jiang Feng looked at me and said, "You should call me Dad." ”
Jiang He shouted on the side: "At this time, you said this kind of thing, do you think you are worthy?" ”
Jiang Feng's face did not change: "Whether you are worthy of me or not, what can you do with me?" ”
Jiang He wanted to say something but I stopped him, I said to Jiang Feng: "It's time for me to change my name to Dad, but is it interesting for you to be a father like this?" ”
Jiang Feng's face softened, and he asked me, "Did you go back and find any words left by your father?" ”
I didn't deceive him either, because it was easy for him to debunk: "I left a letter to me, contacting you at a critical time to save my life, mentioning the test and the consequences, but the letter was not long. ”
Jiang Feng let out a long sigh and leaned back on the sofa without speaking for a long time. Then he said very flatly: "I know he won't say anything, he is afraid that he will hurt you if he talks too much, and it is difficult to be a parent." ”
He continued: "Your father was very resistant to the plan, and in the end it was a little unreasonable, and after many years we adjusted the plan to ensure that his life was not affected, but he continued to resist, and I could not convince him. ”
He asked me, "What step did your father say about the experiment?" ”
I said, "He said the genetic experiment of thinking, but it failed." ”
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Of course it will fail, because there is no such experiment as he thinks it will be carried out, how can it be successful?" ”
Jiang He couldn't listen anymore: "Dad Lou also said that the experiment failed, is it necessary to further completely deny this?" ”
Jiang Feng ignored her: "The experiment he said has huge ethical and social obstacles. Let's say you give birth to a child, he has your soul and memory, do you say that he is a continuation of you or your child? If the experiment is really successful, fertility must be combined with gender selection, if gender selection fails, you Lou Lanyu gives birth to a girl, and she thinks she is Lou Lanyu, what should I do? ”
"Even if you give birth to a boy, is he you or your son? What if he thinks that Xiaohe is both his wife and his mother? ”
"So it's a doomed thing, it's impossible to carry out, it's built on anti-social foundations, and if the experiment is successful, he can only hope to get pregnant and give birth to himself with a strange woman before he dies."
"Even if this hypothetical possibility does not exist, the heredity of thinking requires a memory that carries the memory, and it is impossible for any experiment to directly make a hereditary memory in the subject."
Jiang He and I looked at each other, shuddering, I suddenly remembered my father's inexplicable cheating behavior, if this experiment can be successful, has he already given birth to a self?
"At the beginning, many people who participated in the trial were blinded and had a one-sided understanding, and they were a little fanatical at that time."
Jiang He said: "Is it so fanatical that everyone is ready to cheat, and they don't plan to have children with their wives at all, right?" ”
Jiang Feng didn't answer her, and then said: "I can only say this, I have the same power as your father on this issue, and I can only go here." ”
"Daddy Lou also said that your experiment was hosted by a mysterious organization, and after this so-called ideological genetic experiment stopped, you started a bigger experiment, and it has continued until now." Jiang He tried in vain to attract Jiang Feng to continue.
Jiang Feng said: "He is right, there are indeed bigger experiments. In fact, your father Lou has always had a misunderstanding on this issue, and there is no separate ideological genetic test, he has always thought that there is such an experiment, and I have always been unable to bear to completely debunk it. We had only one thing throughout, the goal was clear from the beginning, and I can now admit that this was an experiment for the next generation, and we ourselves were just experimenting materials. ”
I couldn't help but feel sorry for my father: "I really suffer if I don't understand technology." "It seems that my father's cheating is all for a purpose, and this is not a problem of work injury, but a problem of IQ.
Jiang He suddenly said: "Ideological genetic experiments definitely exist, as long as it is not through reproduction, through cloning technology, most of the ethical issues can be bypassed." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Feng looked at Jiang He with interest: "If it exists, then it's good for us to clone one when Daddy Lou dies, you two can adopt your father after you get married, and then if you have any questions, just ask him directly?" ”
Jiang He's face pulled down: "Don't you think your level of humor is low?" ”
A flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in my mind: "Just now Dad Jiang said that this is an experiment for the next generation, could it be that the result of the experiment is that our next generation has the function of thinking and genetics?" ”
Jiang Feng looked at me again: "Oh? My own children can think about heredity, so what is the difference between that and what I just said about the disadvantages of your father's thinking about heredity? ”
My head was buzzing: "Heredity depends on genes, and thought inheritance is the same through genes." You can't change your genetic memory, you can't increase the number of your genes, but you can change the next generation. As you just said, you're just experimenting with material. ”
Jiang Feng was surprised: "Oh? ”
Jiang He also suddenly understood: "So the number of our genes has become a lot, although you have lied a lot, but in order to appear that the lies are credible, after all, you still add some truth to increase the credibility." ”
Jiang Feng looked at us left and right, then pointed at me and said, "You just called me Daddy Jiang again, that's not right." ”
He took out a folder from under the coffee table, placed it on the coffee table, and said to me, "It sounds interesting, but what's the use of doing such an experiment?" You don't even listen to me, who is willing to invest so much money to raise two disobedient children? After all, experiments have goals and benefits. ”
Jiang He interrupted him: "Why don't you answer the question directly?" ”
Jiang Feng shouted angrily: "Why are you so rude, why are you so domineering?" Haven't you learned to be calm and discuss problems? ”
I have never seen Jiang Feng lose his temper like this, and everyone stopped talking for a while.
After a while, I said: "You can't blame Xiaohe so much, she is your daughter, but after all, she is also a woman, since we were born as human beings, we have the right to live like a normal person, mediocre and have children, this request is not too much." ”
Jiang He also said: "You changed our genes into a mess, have you sincerely explained?" They all lie and fool us. If you don't tell us the purpose of the trial, we certainly don't know what the goals and benefits are. ”
Jiang Feng pointed to the folder on the coffee table: "Sign it, and I'll tell you." ”
