Today we will introduce the science fiction movie "The Clones".
The title of the film is Replicas (2018), the alias guardian life and death line (Taiwan) / replica / new born person / copy person.
The film discusses the application of human reproduction technology on a small scale, including the personal experience of the creators, and also a discussion of biotechnology.
Keanu Reeves plays the role of neuroscientist Will Foster. His team is developing technology for human consciousness transfer. In simple words, the content of human brain is copied into the robot body. Even if the body of the human body dies, the ontological consciousness can still be Continue to survive in the machine body.
The main problem encountered by the Foster team in the early stage was the rejection of the transplant consciousness and the machine body, which resulted in many transplant failures.
Soon Foster suffered a huge family accident. In order to save the family members who were killed in the car accident, Foster took the risk and copied the family's body using human cloning technology and transferred his consciousness to the cloned human body.
In and out of the play, Keanu Reeves suffers from the pain of losing loved ones:
When he was 29 years old, his best friend died of drug overdose;
At the age of 35, his unborn daughter was stillborn;
At the age of 37, his girlfriend was killed in a car accident.
These painful moments accompany Keanu Reeves. He wanted to be able to find these relatives and friends. Since it is impossible to achieve in real life, it will be achieved through the film.
For robotics, we are familiar with Android and Cyborg. Android is also Android, which is the AI intelligence that belongs to the Robot Development Department, such as "Machine Public Enemy".
Cyborg, also known as cyber, is composed of cyborgs and cyborgs, or some mechanical bodies are implanted in the human body, or human brains are put into the mechanical body, such as "Robocop".
The original goal of this film is somewhat similar to Cyborg. The initial idea is to replicate a human brain consciousness in the robot body so that human consciousness can exist in the machine body.
The English title of the film "Clone" is "Replicas". According to the expression in the photo and the literal translation of the words, it should mean "replicating humans", directly copying human consciousness into the machine body.
In Android and Cyborg, human consciousness and flesh are not completely separated. In Android, both human consciousness and flesh belong to human beings, and the conscious body of the machine also develops on its own. In Cyborg, the human brain remains relatively intact, and the rest of the organs It can be replaced by the machine at will.
In this film, human consciousness and the body are completely separated, consciousness belongs to the spiritual level, and the physical body belongs to the material level, and the two are physically separated. But from the effect of this realization, the ambition of the biological company in the film can be seen. As long as this technology is realized, after extracting the human consciousness, the party with this technology can change the human consciousness at will, and then implant the corresponding special robot. In the body, you can casually cultivate a super force that is completely obedient.
Foster's experience is similar to that of Keanu Reeves, he lost his relatives and friends, so he has a stronger need to resurrect relatives and friends.
Lovesickness became ill, and he ignored so many ethical taboos. On the premise of copying human consciousness into the mechanical body, Foster went a step further and directly copied the human consciousness into the clone body to achieve his own goals. The copy person can be regarded as a beautiful thought of Keanu Reeves, just think about it.
Of course, Foster's series of operations violated the laws of nature, the laws of biology and ethics were all violated, and he wandered freely in the restricted area. In the process of copying humans, a slight mistake will produce monsters that are neither human nor ghost, such as the performance of "Human-Beast Hybrid". Fortunately, this is not the focus of the film. In the process of producing the human copy, everything goes smoothly.
In terms of ethics and morality, Foster's problems are even bigger. The so-called technological forbidden zone does not refer to the difficulties in biotechnology, but the forbidden zone of natural laws and ethics.
At present, human cloning is no longer technically difficult, and the only thing facing is ethical problems. When people are cautious about cloning technology, there are always clowns who like to get eyeballs to jump out to sensationalize, such as the news that the world’s first gene-edited baby immune to AIDS was born some time ago, He Moumou directly The world was in an uproar, which also made the Chinese scientific research community a target of public criticism.
Even if the technology of copying humans can be realized, it is not only the copying humans, but also the ontology that face the problem of processing.
For the ontology, this is a very difficult thing to accept. Suppose that a character is called Lao Li, and Lao Li No. 1 is his body, and Lao Li No. 2 is a copy made in this way. When Lao Li No. 1 sees Lao Li No. 2, what will he think?
For people who don't see Lao Li No. 1 and No. 2 at the same time, the difference is not big, but for the body and the replica, the difference is big.
If you use this technology to achieve long-distance travel and choose to eliminate No.1 and let No.2 survive, No.1 will definitely feel that he is really dead, rather than life being continued. No.1 sees No.2 living with his family. I will definitely eat my own vinegar.
This series of problems are all ethical problems, and it is difficult to find a solution. Once the magic box is opened, the consequences must be borne.
Foster chooses to copy his dead relatives. For Foster himself, psychologically it is relatively easy to accept, but for these clones, it is not that simple. From time to time, he is troubled by nightmares, his friends and himself. Sooner or later, you will be aware of the strangeness, and after knowing the truth, whether the dead "self" is a predecessor or a frontier.
In the later period of "Clone", Foster contributed this technology to help his family. So far, the entire human society has become unfair.
If this technology is realized, it will be terrible. The class will always be solidified. By then, the people at the bottom will always work in a dark environment, and the ruling class will always be accompanied by the beauty of the car, surrounded by the copied war machine.
Originally, all human beings were equal before death. Birth, aging, sickness and death were an irreversible natural law. Now people will no longer be equal before death. The rich and powerful can change their bodies and live forever, while the poor can only drag their tired bodies for a generation. Exploited one generation after another.
Even if lovesickness becomes ill,
Taboos are not child's play.
