Under the bright sunshine, a car was driving on the endless highway in California. Lao Ma brought his bride Xiao Rong to his luxurious villa. They were greeted by the blind housekeeper and the female assistant Ding Ding.

After Lao Ma and Xiao Rong enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, the two of them did something. When they were done, the two fell asleep hugging each other. After waking up, Lao Ma took Xiao Rong to visit the 3,000-square-meter mansion.

In the mansion, Lao Ma pointed to the endless wardrobe, countless jewelry, paintings with lace as the theme, and a safe full of banknotes, telling Xiao Rong, this is all yours...but the only one The restricted area is here. The old horse pointed to a blue glass door and said.

After Lao Ma explained this to Xiao Rong, they enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together, and then did something. After finishing the work, Lao Ma told Xiao Rong that I will be leaving tomorrow morning, so you have to be obedient at home. The next morning, Xiao Rong woke up from her sleep with no one around. Xiao Rong was a little dazed by the empty bed. She got up lazily and took a swim.

After swimming, the female assistant Ding Ding came and asked Xiao Rong what to eat. Xiaorong said chocolate milkshake. Tintin laughed when he heard this and said that the chocolate milkshake is good. After eating the chocolate milkshake, Xiao Rong changed into new clothes after another, tried jewelry after jewelry, and admired countless lace-edged paintings. A day passed, and Xiao Rong took a bath in the bathtub.

After getting out of the bath, Xiao Rong looked out the window and saw the blind housekeeper and female assistant Ding Ding leave the mansion and walk into the distance.

Xiao Rong, who was lying on the bed alone, couldn't sleep. At this time, she thought of the blue glass door. She quietly got up and walked towards the glass door. Pushing open the glass door, Xiao Rong saw a row of huge containers. Xiao Rong owed her hands and opened the container with a ding sound. But the contents of the container made Xiao Rong panic, and it turned out to be another self.

The next morning, when the old horse came back, he asked Xiao Rong if she was well behaved? Xiao Rong said I was very good. But Lao Ma saw everything through Xiao Rong's stiff expression. They had a sumptuous dinner, and the two of them did something. When they were done, the two fell asleep hugging each other. When she woke up, Xiao Rong found that there was no one around her. She got up and looked in the mansion. In front of the blue glass door, she saw an old horse with a machete.

The old horse smiled wickedly and said to her, "All of this could have been avoided, why are you disobedient?" After some struggle, Xiao Rong was brutally murdered by the old horse.

After Xiao Rong was buried, the female assistant Ding Ding, the blind housekeeper, and Lao Ma sat at the dining table to eat. Tintin asked the old horse, have you had enough? The old horse said, no, I have to play.

A month and a half later, under the bright sunshine, a car was driving on the endless highway in California. Lao Ma brought his bride Xiao Rong to his luxurious villa. They were greeted by the blind housekeeper and the female assistant Ding Ding.

After Lao Ma and Xiao Rong enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, the two of them did something. When they were done, the two fell asleep hugging each other. After waking up, Lao Ma took Xiao Rong to visit the 3,000-square-meter mansion.

She got up and looked in the mansion. In front of the blue glass door, she saw an old horse with a machete.

The old horse grinned and said to her, "All of this could have been avoided, why are you disobedient?" After some struggles, the old horse was killed by Xiao Rong.

After killing the old horse, Xiao Rong calmly dealt with the scene and changed into new clothes. She thought everything was handled flawlessly, but Xiao Rong didn't expect the blind man to know everything. The blind man told Xiao Rong, it's okay, let's deal with the corpse together. After the body was disposed of, the blind man told Xiao Rong that you were No. 5, Elizabeth No. 5. After Xiao Rong knew her true identity, she couldn't believe that she was a clone and started to cry.

But the blind man told Xiao Rong, don't cry in a hurry, the police are here. Xiao Rong saw that a police car had arrived. In the living room, when the police were questioning Xiao Rong, the blind man took a pole and collapsed the police. After the police collapsed, the blind man said, come on, let's deal with the corpse together.

After disposing of the body, the blind man locked Xiao Rong and threw her a diary for her to read in detail. Xiao Rong completely understood her identity from reading the diary. It turned out that she was Lao Ma's wife. It's just that he has rapid aging and died. Lao Ma is an expert in human cells. He couldn't bear the death of his wife, so he cloned his wife's cells and made six clones. This is Elizabeth 1-6.

Knowing the truth, Elizabeth Five desperately wanted to escape from this place, but at this time, Elizabeth Six woke up again.

The subject matter of the film is a typical replicator, but the film does not focus on the storyline, but discusses the legitimacy of replicant identity and the ethics of humanity. Six Elizabeths, that is the real Elizabeth, or in other words, these six are not Elizabeths. Back to the question of the mother, what is the relationship between the mother of the cell collection and the six test subjects? At the end of the movie, the true identity of the blind man is revealed, which is a clone of the old horse. So what is the relationship between the blind man and Elizabeth?

Moreover, is the crime of human beings treating cloned human beings a crime?

The source of life is nature, and the mother's body, the mother's womb, is also a part of nature. All are the same, no exceptions. It is this common origin that makes us more reverent for life. Only with an attitude of reverence for life can our huge group of life go further. But when the origin of life has changed and can be manipulated as a human being, will we still fear this life from a different origin?

Some time ago, the most debated issue in the online "gene-edited baby" incident was also the ethical issue. Here, the focus of debate is not whether gene editing can truly resist AIDS, but the definition of human relations in the future, and whether the development of human life itself should be determined by human beings.

In other words, when artificial humans really appear, how should we deal with this kind of thing that is different from us? Are we equal to them? I believe that everyone has real thoughts in their hearts. Moreover, when we can control this kind of life at any time, will there be a "human farm"?
