I watched it with my sister and thought it was pretty good

The plot is very novel. Regarding the confusion about morality, it is understandable that if it is a laboratory embryo, there is no need to consider these. But the doctor deceived him. Although the original owner of the body voluntarily gave his life for his children, it is actually equivalent to the protagonist buying the other's life with money. Just like some people with rare hobbies, some like to eat people, some like to be eaten, although consensual, when cannibals cannibalize, even if the victim's consent is obtained, the cannibals will still be punished. We are not given the right to give up our lives and let others punish them. The original owner of the body is reluctant to give up his life for his child's treatment costs, which is itself an unfair and unfair deal. If consent is considered to be justified, then the existence of slavery is also justified. Because people who are truly poor only desire to satisfy their hunger and stomach, freedom is naturally worthless. At the beginning, Hale made the young man unable to do it. After all, it was just a job, and it was only in this industry that he couldn't do it. In the workplace, intrigue, intrigue, and mutual intimidation are all normal, and there is no question of conscience. But when he can survive, he chooses his own demise and reunites the original owner of the body with his wife and daughter. As the protagonist said, he believes that the most important thing in being a human being is the bottom line. As we grow older and richer in experience, we have accumulated more wealth. Wealth can enrich our material life, but at the same time, as a person, you are not much higher than others. Everyone is a living life. Respect for life is also respect for oneself. Although the protagonist gave up his life, but he kept his bottom line, his hands were not stained with innocent blood, and the happiness of the three people was fulfilled. It is also a happy ending.

    The subject matter is not new, and many of the previous masterpieces similar to body transformations have been handled better and have a sense of technology. On the contrary, if this film is a sci-fi, it is indeed a bit misnamed. In fact, it is just a description of emotions in the shell of sci-fi, just like an amnesia film in the process of finding myself. Whether it is the sense of science fiction or the crisis of human ethics, there is a lack of expression. Although the overall quality is not weak, there is a lack of new ideas in the progress of the plot, and everything seems to be done step by step.

    It's not a good sci-fi, but I made up a good story in the name of sci-fi. The setting is relatively easy, the popcorn elements are well integrated, and the acting can be done well. There is no need to insist on the profoundness of technology-ethics. There are many similar films that either add religious elements or play with mysticism, and the scores are not low (there are many people who eat that set), but if you really want to be profound, first of all That's what should be thrown away.
