Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

Less than a year after Li Wei and Zhou Xiao's wedding of the century, the development of Emerald Island is almost completed, and several major golf events, sailing and surfing events have listed Emerald Island as the venue for the finals; The world's most luxurious Royal Yachting Show also announced that its most important biennale will also be held permanently at the Emerald Isle.For a time, Emerald Island became the most anticipated holiday destination for the white-collar workers and wealthy classes.Those who have already come to Emerald Island for vacation are full of praise for the natural landscape of Emerald Island, and they are also very satisfied with the service here.In particular, the Emerald Island resort also caters to the low-carbon and environmentally friendly life of the upper class, so the Emerald Island, which has been in business for less than half a year, has a faint reputation as the second Caribbean island.

And just when Li Wei and Zhou Xiao's investment was praised by business people, Citigroup's "New York Times" suddenly reported in a special feature that the Future Medical Laboratory in the Cactus Country was conducting research on human genes, and its research results Humans have gone further.As soon as the news was reported, Future Exploration Medical Laboratory, a scientific research company that is not ranked at all in the world, immediately became a hot spot pursued by major media around the world.Under the reports of the media, the research on human genes related to the exploration of future medical experiments began to emerge in front of the world.When the world knew that the future medical laboratory was actually researching the topic of "same-sex birth", it immediately aroused opposition from medical ethicists and theologians, and also attracted protests from conservatives.

And just when the future medical laboratory was in the limelight, the "New York Times" dropped a shock bomb again. Their report pointed out that the main source of funding for future exploration is a secret fund under the name of Li Wei.Even according to the news interviewed by a reporter from the "New York Times", Li Wei is not only the biggest funder of the future medical laboratory, but also the initiator and actual person in charge of the "same-sex birth" project.Just as Zhou Xiao worried about back then, Li Wei immediately became the target of public criticism.Although Kirin Group and Columbia Entertainment Group have a lot of media control in the East and West, but Li Wei's incident has offended too many interest groups. In a moment it will be over.

"Mr. Li, I don't think your silence will have any positive meaning to the current situation. Now the whole society is looking for you. I hope you can come forward to apologize and explain that this research will be permanently terminated." Ru on Emerald Island In Li Wei's office in Yu Manor, Li Wei's public relations assistant is trying to persuade Li Wei for a year.

Since the "New York Daily" broke the news that Li Wei was the funder of the Future Medical Laboratory, Li Wei's public relations assistant began to hope that Li Wei could express something.According to the analysis of Li Wei's public relations assistant, this news is an extremely serious blow to Li Wei's reputation.You must know that the two basic ethics in the medical field are not to study where human beings come from, and not to explore the world after human death. The project funded by Li Wei this time not only explores where human beings come from, but also tries to change the current human condition. way of birth.This shocked not only the medical community, but even the theological community.Although the worlds of science and theology have always been rivals, this time they rarely stand together.While the PR assistant was persuading Li Wei, a letter of condemnation from the Pope of Rome was also made public through social media, and the PR assistant's face darkened even more.

"The only thing I want to say is that the research I funded did not violate any laws of the host country, nor any international regulations. Why should I be condemned?" Li Wei said lightly.

In fact, since Li Wei funded the exploration of future medical laboratories, he has sought relevant lawyers or jurists to confirm through various channels, and the feedback he got is that although Li Wei's research is contrary to the current mainstream public opinion and medical ethics, it is still There really isn't any law in force.Moreover, Li Wei himself has very strict restrictions on research. So far, all research has focused on gene screening and recombination, not even DNA replication, let alone embryo culture and development in the distant future. .

"Sir, now is not the time to talk about the law, and public opinion is extremely unfavorable to us! Your research has violated the vested interests of many interest groups. Do you think you can challenge the whole world by yourself? The last person who did this was Tang Jike De, sir, I don't want you to end up being ridiculed and ridiculed." Li Wei's public relations assistant has cooperated with Li Wei for many years, and has also cultivated a deep relationship outside of work.Because of this, he made suggestions several times despite Li Wei's objections.

For the public relations assistant's questioning, Li Wei was silent.He believes that the first report of the New York Times should not be too tricky. At most, someone exposed some clues to explore the future medical laboratory, and the rest of the news was dug out by the New York Times itself.But then the media's swarm of reports and various rhythmic comments were abnormal, and then the "New York Times" dug out that he was the financial backer behind the scenes, and the atmosphere of the black hand was too strong.But Li Wei didn't find it strange at all, because he had indeed moved the biggest piece of cake in the world's capital world, the medical industry.It is not obvious, but the medical industry is indeed the most profitable industry in the world, perhaps even the arms | fire industry and the drug | drug industry are not as good as it.It can even be said that the drug industry is actually a derivative branch of the medical industry.

Although Li Wei's research has been criticized here or there, it is fundamentally that Li Wei's research is very likely to eliminate the possibility of human beings getting diseases from the genetic level.If genetic diseases and congenital diseases are all eliminated, then human beings will hardly suffer from any diseases in theory.So if this is the case, what about hospitals and pharmacies?What about the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, pharmaceutical factories, medical device factories, medical schools, etc. behind hospitals and pharmacies?If Li Wei's research is really successful, it can be said bluntly that at least two-thirds of hospitals and pharmacies will be closed, and at least half of doctors, nurses and pharmacists will be laid off.Even with the improvement of genetic technology, when human organs and tissues can be freely replaced, the number of surgeons will be further reduced.Everyone is not a fool, and everyone can see the future trend of Li Wei's research, so some people are dissatisfied with Li Wei's research, and want to destroy this research at the root.

However, before Li Wei responded to the media bombardment, the Institute of Exploring the Future of Medicine faced greater pressure than Li Wei.Due to the exposure of its research purpose, the Dunsi Institute has become the target of many conservatives.Although the Cactus Kingdom is temporarily on Li Wei's side under Li Wei's Jin Yuan offensive, it has sent military police to maintain the order and safety of the institute.But Li Wei also knows that the Cactus Country is a small country with an underdeveloped economy after all, and the international pressure they can withstand is also very limited.Fortunately, Li Wei knew that such a day would come when he was discussing this research direction with the research institute, so Li Wei bought a small island in the Pacific Ocean in the name of the research institute. This island is not on the main waterway, so it is not very attractive. places of concern.It took Li Weihe the research institute two years to build a semi-underground research institute on this island, and also purchased solar power generation and seawater desalination equipment.Basically, without external material support, the living materials provided by this island can meet the needs of more than a hundred people for half a year.If it weren't for the difficulty of relocating some precision equipment, Li Wei would have moved the research institute long ago.But now, Li Wei had no choice but to resort to escape measures.

He picked up the phone and called the director of the Institute, "Mr. Davis, I am sorry to call you at this time. Yes, I am also facing great pressure here, but please believe me, I I will not give up the promise I made to you back then. However, I also have bad news to inform you that the government of the Cactus Country may no longer be able to support us, so our cunning rabbit plan must be implemented. Mr. Davis , now we must speed up the migration of the key equipment and core data of the research institute, and at the same time, you need to screen the loyalty of future partners. In the future, we will conduct research in a relatively secret situation, but please rest assured, I will not force You conduct any experiments that are contrary to your ethics. Yes, Mr. Davis, I need you to make a decision as soon as possible. Well, I will wait for your reply."

"You plan to let them go to that small island to do research?" Zhou Xiao has been silently watching Li Wei's handling, "Back then I wondered why you bought a small island with no scenery. Your island was built almost like a military building. Fortifications, and I also know that you hired mercenaries to take care of the security there. But, do we really need to do that? Do you care about children so much?"

"Xiao, you have to believe me. I told you before that the reason why I funded this research is not only because of the issue of having children or not, but because I hope that people in the future can live better. Of course, I also It does not rule out that I do want to break the taboo of 'same-sex birth'. But it is definitely not because of me, but I think many anti-gay elements always use the problem of human reproduction to criticize homosexuality, so if the same-sex can have children, is their opposition correct? Does it seem ridiculous?" Li Wei suddenly showed a sly smile, "But the greater significance of this research lies in our research on human reproduction, we can genetically avoid any defects in future human beings. Of course, some people may say Defects are the extra beauty that God bestows on human beings. But even if my research is successful, my institution will only provide screening and diagnosis services, but I will not participate in follow-up treatment. I also recognize that even the humblest life There is also a right to life, and I don't think people with defective genes don't have the right to be born. But our diagnostic service can give parents a choice and a right to know in advance."

"Actually, you just passed the killing knife from yourself to the parents of the child." Zhou Xiao smiled wryly, "Maybe some defective genetic defects will be ignored by the child's parents, but what about those serious genetic defects? So many Parents attach great importance to pregnancy inspections, don’t they just want to minimize the possibility of children’s defects? If your experiment is successful, the parents of the children only need a few inspections to know whether their children have congenital diseases and how likely they are to suffer from other major diseases , and even what life expectancy is... Really at that point, do you think parents won't choose a child with better genes? Parents who like sports like stronger kids, and your diagnosis could kill a poet or an artist."

"That's not my choice, I just hand over the power of this choice to the person who already owns it." Li Wei whispered, "And the important thing is, if we really want to reach that point, it's no longer the era in which you and I live gone."
