Chapter 1480 Refuse to clone people

"We feel like villains." Xu Zhengping returned to the genetic engineering laboratory, his mind still immersed in the chaos at the scene.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "At the beginning of being a cloned sheep, he was just a big villain."

"Then do you still do it?"

"The silly sweets were excited for a moment, and their attention quickly changed. After that, there was a praise. Of course, the premise was not to be cloned." Yang Rui had a clear understanding and in-depth thinking about whether to clone the sheep and the consequences of cloning the sheep.

Moreover, as a scientific researcher, Yang Rui has been unswervingly implementing the decision after making the decision.

For example, when doing cloning sheep, you must hide the title of a national project in the early stage. After the later completion, after Mr. Zheng asked, he took the initiative to declare that he would not be a clone for the first time. These are all decisions made by Yang Rui after careful consideration, and there will be no change in the slightest because of anyone's flattery or objection.

Xu Zhengping would not have the same perception without Yang Rui's experience, and he would inevitably say self-doubt: "If you don't be a clone, you will be praised? Would you... think too well?"

"The technology itself is not wrong." Yang Rui said calmly: "The breakthrough in animal cloning technology is not only a breakthrough in cloning technology, but also a breakthrough in the human living environment. In the future, more and more people will need animal cloning technology. It can be said that animal cloning will not only not be harmful to human survival, but will also be beneficial. When everyone realizes this, praise will come."

"What about... clones?"

"If you want me to describe a clone, it is a garbage dump of cloning technology." Yang Rui shrugged and said, "Think about it, all the ethical issues of cloning are actually concentrated on cloning people. Everyone is not afraid that you cloned a sheep that is exactly the same, nor do you care especially if your pet has a cloned brother. However, if anyone is cloned, even if we know that cloning people cannot be exactly the same as themselves, we still have to worry."

"So, can't be a clone?"

"There are many reasons why we cannot be cloned. You cannot overestimate human self-control, especially when it comes to life." Yang Rui said this, his voice became low and said: "Once a clone is born, the first thing we face is how we view clones, should we regard it as an object, or a natural person?"

"Of course I am a natural person." Xu Zhengping's reflexive answer was obviously thinking about the same problem.

Yang Rui curled his lips and said, "What you said doesn't count. However, even if everyone thinks that cloned people are natural persons, what we have to face next is the problem of self-cognition of cloned people. Do they think they are natural persons?"

Xu Zhengping was stunned.

He has watched too little science fiction and hasn't thought of this yet.

Yang Rui said: "You don't need to answer because no one can answer this question. This is a question that is more complicated than ethnic issues. There are not enough ethnic conflicts around the world? If we develop a new technology, how big a conflict will you create."

Xu Zhengping remained silent.

"Human society is a civilized society after all, humans in civilized society can neither use cloning people as biological materials nor cloning their labor force. So, where is the value of cloning people? To be cruel, in the current environment, cloning people has disadvantages and no benefits to the human race. Developing cloning technology is really working for criminals." Yang Rui smiled and said, "We are still engaged in family planning, for fear that the earth will not be able to bear so many people. Whoever engages in cloning technology will be the public enemy of the earth."

"I didn't expect you to think so much." Xu Zhengping felt ashamed of himself.

"I not only thought about it, but also wrote it out." Yang Rui took out a stack of printing paper from the drawer like a magic trick, threw it to Xu Zhengping, and said, "I'll correct the article I wrote."

Xu Zhengping straightened it up in confusion, and saw the title in bold text on the home page: "Reject Clone".

"Okay guy, you're..."

"Advocate." Yang Rui said: "The texts of China, Britain, France and Russia will be published together in newspapers and magazines in many countries around the world."

"Are they willing to publish it?" Xu Zhengping paused and hurriedly said: "I mean, we just stripped so many foreign journalists... and we'll do it if they don't post articles to scold us..."

"There are two types of reporters who are making trouble at the door of our laboratory. One is a young reporter who is promising, and the other is not very smart." Yang Rui knocked on his head and said: "If the reporter's brain is not enough, it does not mean that the newspapers and media are not very smart. So, no matter whether someone is sent to our laboratory, or whether anyone comes to our laboratory privately, I will give them news, and few people will refuse."

Yang Rui said this and maintained strong confidence, saying: "What Western media wants is news and what disguises it as neutral. So, don't say that my article stance is what they like, even if they don't like it, they have to post it to express their neutral position. At least, there is room for discussion."

"It's good that you decide." Xu Zhengping felt that his mind was not enough, so he hurriedly said, "I'll read the article first."

"Yeah." Yang Rui gave up the place and went to the bookshelf to find a novel. He sat on the sofa at the door as if he had passed the time, reading while drinking tea.

One advantage of Yang Rui’s genetic engineering laboratory is that it has a large territory and high standards for construction. After it is made completely according to national projects, the boss’s office becomes quite comfortable.

In addition to the suite-style structure, only the living room part of Yang Rui's office can be placed with a sofa set of 12 people, and a group of small tea tables can be left next to it. The large desk and chairs behind occupy half the space of the basketball court. In terms of style, it is already quite good.

There are actually restrictions on the office area of ​​leading cadres now, but ordinary people don’t know it, and there is no intention to implement it.

Even though Yang Rui doesn't often come to the genetic engineering laboratory, his office still exceeds the standard, and it is regarded as a natural thing for people.

Xu Zhengping read the article that had not been long, then raised his head and saw Yang Rui looking leisurely and at ease. He couldn't help but say with a strange expression: "I've finished reading it."

"How? Is the article written properly?" Yang Rui asked.

"It's more than just a decent one." Xu Zhengping said in a slight tone, "You have to say anything wrong with others, and no one can say anything."

"How can this be called a slander?" Yang Rui said with shamelessness: "I developed the cloning sheep technology, but I oppose the abuse of this technology, and even more oppose others to advance it to the level of cloning people. It's like Einstein made a huge contribution to the explosion of the atomic bomb. At the same time, he also opposes the development of nuclear bombs. Do you think so?"
