Chapter 580 The Ethics of Change

Su Xiaoxiao had been hesitating before, whether to tell her father about her relationship with Chen Xin, but after this life and death experience, she seemed to have figured it out, and she even offered to take Chen Xin to meet her parents.

Naturally, Chen Xin would not disappoint the girl, nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, why don't we go today?"

Su Xiaoxiao immediately blushed, waved her hand and said, "Today, I don't want it today, let's talk about it in two days... Oh, yes, you still have to attend the molecular biology seminar in one hour, I will help you prepare the materials .”

As she spoke, she ran out of Chen Xin's office like a frightened rabbit.

Chen Xin shook his head and smiled, and shouted behind her: "Xiaoxiao, don't forget to inform Dr. Miller that I will visit him tonight.

"understood!"

……

After obtaining [-] genetic medicines equivalent to the level of a third-level civilization from the Tianqin civilization, Chen Xin immediately organized human scientists to test them.

The test results showed that these so-called gene agents can turn normal cells into cancer.

At first, all the scientists involved in the test were taken aback.

As we all know, cancer is one of the most malignant diseases faced by human beings, and at least 1000 million people die of cancer every year in the world.

This legendary elixir is actually a highly toxic drug that causes cancer in humans.

Even Chen Xin was very surprised.

However, based on the most basic trust in the technology of the fifth-level civilization, Yang Lin asked the scientists to continue to observe the cancerous mice.

Soon, scientists discovered that the cancer-stricken mice did not die as people thought. There were strange changes in their bodies. Although the normal tissue cells in their bodies transformed into cancer cells step by step, the cancer cells However, they did not proliferate indefinitely, but gradually transformed into mouse embryonic stem cells, and these stem cells differentiated step by step, and redifferentiated into tissue cells of various organs in the mouse.

This conversion process lasted for about half a month, and almost all the cells in the mouse's body were replaced.

The mice baptized by genetic agents became younger and stronger than before. Such a miraculous scene almost shocked all the scientists.

So soon, application reports were submitted to Chen Xin's desk, and biological scientists collectively requested to conduct human trials on this gene drug.

Chen Xin also followed suit and agreed.

However, how to select the experimental subjects has become the focus of debate among all.

It's not that everyone is unwilling, but that there are too many people vying to become a member of the experimental subject, not only the scientists, but also senior officials from various countries who know the inside story.

At this time, Chen Xin had no choice but to stand up. He proposed that the experimental subjects be selected from among those who are terminally ill and have made great contributions to mankind.

This put an end to the dispute.

In the end, Chen Xin selected 50 people as the first batch of experimental subjects for genetic medicine, including Hawking, a famous theoretical physicist who suffered from severe amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Yu Min, the father of the Chinese hydrogen bomb. Of course, Chen Xin didn't forget to include Su Xiaoxiao's father, Su Jianguo.

These people were injected with genetic medicine and were all sent to the nutrition cabin. After half a month of deep sleep, they woke up smoothly. When they came out of the nutrition cabin, almost everyone was shocked.

Because not only all the original diseases of these people disappeared, but they almost all returned to their prime of life, from gray-haired old men to healthy young men.

And when they learned that they could live for more than 900 years, most of the fifty people who tried the genetic medicine wept with joy, and some even fell to their knees in excitement.

The shock brought by the genetic medicine is almost explosive. Whether it is scientists or politicians from various countries, they were a little skeptical when they heard Chen Xin say that this medicine can extend the life span of human beings to 1000 years, but after seeing this scene with their own eyes, these People no longer have any doubts.

Those biologists were even more excited. During this time, Chen Xin often went to attend various seminars, including those on medicine, genetics, genetic engineering, and even some seminars. Botanists and paleontologists also came to join in the fun.

Research projects in various biological fields have also been strongly approved by the Science and Technology Committee. The resources they applied for even exceeded the funding for basic scientific research. Chen Xin had to intervene to ease the frenzy.

However, the problems brought about by the genetic medicine are not without it.

The most troublesome is the ethical issue.

Especially the first batch of people who participated in the experiment, when they returned to their youth, they found it difficult to face their gray-haired wives and children who looked older than themselves.

This has already involved ethical issues, and Chen Xin has no good way to deal with it.

From a certain point of view, these people are no longer the same species as ordinary humans. They belong to new humans and are destined to embark on a completely different path from the humans on Earth.

And from a certain point of view, Chen Xin is happy to see such a problem.

Because what he wants to change in the future is not only people's world outlook and values, but also human ethics and even fertility.

According to the reproductive ability of human beings, as long as they have enough resources, it is very easy for a couple to have five or six children in the prime time of 20 years. How big should your family be?

The picture of dozens of generations of grandparents living under the same roof is terrifying to think about.

More importantly, such families and clans will even cause serious turbulence and uneasiness to the future human society.

As we all know, the inheritance of power and wealth is one of the root causes of corruption and inequality in human society throughout history.

After thousands of years of development, the succession of power has gradually developed from the ancient natural justice to the Ducai system that most people dislike in modern times.

So here comes the question, compared with power inheritance, what about wealth inheritance?

Even in contemporary society, wealth inheritance has natural legitimacy in the minds of almost everyone.

But this is precisely one of the root causes of the generation and solidification of the class, the poor class and the middle class, the middle class and the small and medium-sized capitalist class, the small and medium-sized capital class and the powerful class, not to mention those political families and super consortia that have a lot of resources.

All men are created equal, which is just talk in contemporary society.

Even in the future, everyone will have different status due to various reasons.

But Chen Xin must ensure that in the near future, all newborn humans can stand on the same starting line at the starting point of his life. (to be continued~^~)
