About two thousand years ago, it is estimated that the rapid development of genetic science is also the most controversial time. Dolly was born in 1996, putting the word clone into the eyes of the public; in November 2018, He Jiankui announced the birth of a genetically edited baby. No matter how constrained by ethics, human beings' desire to become gods cannot be stopped.
When I was in elementary school, I set up a science and technology magazine, and there was a story on it about gene editing in the future. Rich people designed their children to be perfect with super-intelligence, while poor children were 〃God's children, when they were still playing in the mud. Rich kids are studying relativity, driving rockets, etc. One day aliens invaded the earth, and the advanced human beings calculated that the probability of winning was 1%, so they resolutely gave up their struggle, and 〃god's children did not care to rush up to fight. As a result, the aliens were not good at melee combat and were beaten away. Ignoring the storyline and looking at the essence is nothing more than a condemnation of gene editing. Why condemn it? The year before last, He Jiankui was also sentenced to three years for this. We say that gene editing is not good. If it is not good, it is not good because the technology cannot be instantly popularized to everyone.
Ordinary people now face the upper class, the only psychological comfort is that they are all equal at the level of living beings, so they can still talk a lot 〃 That means he has a good father 〃 〃 He caught up with the good times 〃. Once gene editing is legalized, even if He Jiankui illegally declares that he has successfully edited, the first to benefit will definitely be high-level capitalists rather than the general public. When the general public loses the minimum weight of struggle and loses equality as a biological level , the society is uncontrollable, and it will never be as stable and resigned as the cleaners in "The Last Minute". One of the functions of law and ethics is to constrain the ambitions of qualified and capable people, to weaken the "rich-poor gap" in the psychology of the general public, and to make them have the desire to struggle to fight for themselves ---- feel that they have the ability to achieve Class leaping is a major driving force for social progress. When the general public decides their humble status from their egg cells, their contribution to the upper class due to their own struggles will be greatly reduced. Over time, absolute class solidification and class conflict will be inevitable. People who have a long-term vision will not do this, but it does not rule out the existence of people who are "who cares about the flood after my death", capitalists will do it for their own selfish interests, scientists will do it for scientific dreams, and there is no escape. Not sure who will eat the first crab in the future.
In fact, gene editing acts on the next generation, and it is relatively less attractive to me. My dream is that people can selectively and comprehensively control the body, such as hormone levels, brain control, etc., or transformation and upgrading based on the body - many movies have talked about it.
As mentioned in the film, genetic testing is only a probability, and personal development is greatly affected by the day after tomorrow. It is not accurate to make personal judgments based on this test alone, but it still has a certain tendency. For example, under the premise that gene editing can be carried out, the competitive advantage of natural persons with high probability of problems or mediocre obviously no longer exists.
Regarding the movie itself, a movie that is as old as me, with sci-fi elements, actually has an electric car. In the 1990s, it happened that the battery technology was reformed, and the electric car was resurrected. There is another one, the human resources system and the detection system are very different, and the software speed and hardware facilities are leveraged. Uma Thurman is really beautiful, and she is completely different from the fan in "Kill Bill" and "Pulp Fiction", but because there are not many supporting roles, the image characteristics are not very prominent.
The Chinese translation of the movie is amazing. For the first time, I feel that the translation is so appropriate, especially with the slow-play close-up and sound effects of the hair falling off the nails at the beginning. There is a sense of power, a feeling that should not belong to hair, and it does not match it. sense of power. It is estimated that the director wants to express genetic testing just like this hair, and is not worthy of this heavy responsibility and mission? Therefore, the film is also known as "The Eyelashes Should Not Bear the Weight".
