Chapter 57 Genetic modification

The author has something to say: The original work "Variant Evil": Humans in the future world have mastered the embryo screening technology. After screening and eliminating defective embryos, excellent embryos are selected to give birth to offspring.

Hu Yao traveled to a world with relatively advanced technology, and then he found that he was discriminated against because he is now a "patient".

Humans in this world have mastered the embryo screening technology, and only need a simple test to clearly detect the sex, height, appearance and the probability of various diseases of an embryo in the future etc.

After this kind of screening, human beings eliminate those imperfect embryos and obtain relatively excellent offspring.

In this way, human beings born through embryo screening are normal people, while those who are not screened and born naturally are called "patients".

Hu Yao became a "patient" this time, a minority group in this world. It can be said that from the moment he was born, he was labeled as a loser.

Hu Yao was amazed at this, human beings are always running wildly on the road to death.People in this world seem to have forgotten the significance of genetic diversity to the existence of populations. In this case, Hu Yao decided to help others and help the world to transform more thoroughly.

Hu Yao quickly set up a private laboratory, because he is now a "patient", and the process of establishing the laboratory is also full of difficulties, but the power of capital has not changed at any time, and finally the laboratory was established.

Afterwards, Hu Yao published an academic paper, since human beings can already use embryo detection technology to screen excellent offspring, why not just simply genetically improve human embryos?

To put it more simply, it is to replace those inferior genes in the embryo with excellent genes through genetic technology.

From appearance to talent, even personality can be improved, so that the newborn will reach the state of "absolute perfection"!

The scientific hypothesis put forward by Hu Yao has been criticized by many scholars for disrespecting life, which is a blasphemy against life!

Hu Yao retorted back with a look of contempt. Human beings now use screening technology to select excellent offspring. Isn't it a blasphemy to life?

Scholars are still criticizing fiercely. Embryo screening is to select the best one from a large number of naturally bred embryos, and genetic improvement is simply against nature!

Hu Yao didn't want to continue debating with this group of stubborn old people. Of course he knew it was against nature, but so what?Hu Yao believes that there must be many people who will happily accept the scientific and technological achievements of genetic improvement, because the benefits are really obvious. Who doesn't want their offspring to be the most perfect and outstanding?

Since then, Hu Yao has vigorously promoted cheap genetic improvement technology. Not only the genes for various diseases have been modified, but even the genes for myopia, baldness, obesity, and even hemorrhoids are all regarded as defective and completely replaced.

The public has a high degree of acceptance of this genetic modification technology, and those who can accept embryo screening will naturally accept genetic modification, because most people have not learned professional knowledge and do not understand the difference between these two technologies The essential difference is that these two technologies are only technological means to optimize future generations.

Most people will only see the results intuitively, that is, the offspring born through genetic modification are more perfect and excellent than those born through embryo screening.

Genetic improvement technology has gradually replaced embryo screening technology. Tom, a biologist, hates this genetic modification technology. He has publicly claimed several times that Hu Yao, the founder of this technology, will become the sinner of human extinction in the future!

Many people only regard Tom's words as words of jealousy among colleagues, and a small number of people agree with Tom's words very much.For human beings, the so-called "excellent gene" is just a definition made by human beings themselves.In the eyes of nature, there is no difference between good and bad genes, only the survival of the fittest.

For example, genes that promote fat accumulation will definitely be replaced as bad genes that cause obesity in the eyes of modern people.But if there is a food crisis someday in the future, it is only by hoarding more fat that people can survive the lack of food.

It's a pity that the current human beings are deceived by the short-term benefits brought by genetic modification. All the bad genes of new life are replaced with good genes. In the future, all human beings will become beautiful, strong, intelligent, good-natured, and gifted.

At first glance, it really sounds like a bright prospect, but once the genes of all human beings are replaced by so-called "excellent genes" in the future, human individuals will lose their differences and diversity.

For the human race, this will cause them to lose their ability to adapt to drastic changes in the environment!The future of mankind will enter a dead end. The appearance of any virus targeting genetic modification is enough to make mankind extinct.

Tom is very worried. Hu Yao, who created the era of genetic modification, must also be a biologist with rich professional knowledge. Could it be that he can't think of the disadvantages brought about by genetic modification?

Why do such things that make human beings kill themselves?

Biologist Tom believes that, as one of the few sane-minded people in the world, he should make some contribution to the future of mankind.

"I will choose a batch of natural human embryos|embryos to freeze to preserve the diversity of human genes." Tom said to his team.

"That's not enough," said another biologist.

If some kind of virus targeting improved genes breaks out in the future, these embryos will have no chance to survive.

So after much discussion, many people have made a decision - dormancy!

It is to recruit volunteers to voluntarily enter the dormant chamber to become a living sample of genetic diversity. If future human beings suffer from a catastrophe, they should be awakened in time to allow human civilization to continue.

Dr. Tom recruited volunteers from all over the world to become the fire to continue human civilization.But unfortunately, there are very few people who are willing to give up their good life and go to the hibernation chamber to sleep. Most of the volunteers who signed up are terminally ill, so they plan to hibernate, hoping that future technology can cure them.

In the end, only 1 people were willing to enter the dormant cabin.Tom burst into tears, thinking that these 1 people are the hope for the continuation of mankind.

Tom seems to have decided that future humans will definitely be destroyed by genetic modification technology.

Most people regard Tom's behavior as a mentally ill performance art. After hearing the news, Hu Yao thought about it for a long time, and finally let Tom's behavior go, and did not maliciously destroy their dormant cabin. What will happen, no one knows.

Hu Yao naturally knows how important genetic diversity is. For example, the same smallpox virus has a very small fatality rate to Europeans, but its fatality rate to Indians is as high as 90%!

The diversity of genes ensures that no matter what kind of disasters or changes in the environment, only some people will be wiped out, and the other people with genes to adapt to the environment will continue to survive.

Is it just now?The corner of Hu Yao's mouth twitched into a meaningful smile, and the genes of human beings may become highly unified in the future.

Hu Yao still enjoys the highest level of treatment before the end of his life in this world, because he is the pioneer of human beings entering a new era.When he died, people with similar faces shed tears of sorrow.

Because many people have similar aesthetics, when they modify the genes of their offspring, they will make relatively similar choices in appearance.That's why there are so many people with similar faces now.

The development of human beings is booming, because everyone is smart and excellent, and the influence of most negative emotions has been eliminated in genes. Hundreds of years later, the level of human technology has reached an incredible height.

Humanity has ushered in a new era.

……

Tom sat up from the hibernation pod, his body was a little weak, and his memory of the past was a little fuzzy.But he still gradually recalled the memory before hibernation, so he asked anxiously: "Why did you wake me up suddenly, what happened?"

The female researcher who woke up Tom took Tom out of the hibernation cabin with a tangled face. Only then did Tom notice that the female researcher in the isolation suit was very beautiful, with an appearance comparable to that of a big star.

This is no longer the base of Tom's dormant cabin, but a huge laboratory.Tom had a bad premonition in his heart.

The female researcher showed Tom a holographic projection of the outside world. Many micro-aircraft shuttled among the towering skyscrapers, and the people passing by all had extremely beautiful faces, looking like relatives.

Tom asked in surprise, "Are you sure this is not Kimchi Country?"

The female researcher shook her head.

Tom asked again: "It seems that no disaster has happened to human beings for the time being, so why did you wake me up suddenly?"

The female researcher sighed and said, "800 years have passed since you entered the dormant chamber."

Dr. Hu proposed a genetic modification plan 800 years ago, but in the years after Dr. Hu's death, this plan gradually changed its taste.

Originally, it was just screening relatively good genes to make human beings more perfect, but after everyone became perfect, human beings were not satisfied with the status quo, and were picky about transforming towards a more perfect direction.

Originally, it was only to modify the genes that control appearance, height, and IQ, but later even the genes that control oily hair were regarded as bad genes.Human pursuit of "perfection" has reached a pathological state.

Even in addition to the appearance, human beings have begun to greatly regulate the personality of their offspring. All genes with potential criminal factors have been replaced, and everyone is very friendly and harmonious.

This state lasted for hundreds of years, until the last natural person in the world who had not undergone genetic modification died, and the genetic sequences of human beings all over the world reached a high degree of unity.

"So humans are dangerous now, aren't they?" Tom asked calmly.

The female researcher nodded earnestly. In fact, in the process of genetic modification by human beings in the past few hundred years, there have been several outbreaks of infectious diseases targeting genes, but the pace of genetic modification still cannot be stopped.

Other people's children are all so perfect and excellent, but your child has all kinds of defects. Who doesn't want their children to become better?

Tom was thoughtful, he and the awakened dormant people were arranged to adapt to life on an island, and Tom soon knew why these people woke them up.

These people who entered the dormant chamber hundreds of years ago retain unmodified genes. Humans try to extract genes from these dormant people, and then diversify the genome sequences of the next generation of humans.

Tom became a savior among the people on the island, because what he predicted back then was confirmed hundreds of years later.

……

"This is the behavior pattern of ancient humans. Welcome everyone to continue to watch the next live broadcast." The host of a certain interstellar network live broadcast program said.

Many viewers reluctantly closed the live broadcast room. It turned out that ancient people talked and acted like this. Those costume dramas are too fake!Even the plastic bags as a luxury!

After 800 years, human beings did not have a high degree of genetic unity due to genetic modification as Hu Yao thought, because they were not stupid, and quickly realized the disadvantages of genetic modification and violently stopped the development of this technology. Retain a small amount of genetic modification technology and apply it to the elite.

In today's world, human class solidification is very serious, but it is not on the verge of extinction.

As for Dr. Tom who made the dormant chamber back then?Oh, he is now the protagonist of the live broadcast of ancient human behavior patterns.

In order to keep the protagonist in a good mood, you must tell him something he wants to hear, such as the fact that human beings will face extinction due to genetic modification in the future...
