first suppose you are asked to do a set of ethical psychological test questions, please answer one by one:
1. You want to live longer and avoid dying at a young age. Cancer, or stay away from the pain caused by various diseases?
I think everyone’s answer is yes—"Yes, no one is willing to die. I want to live longer and healthy."
2. However, life is impermanent, and it is impossible to say a certain day, some strange disease. It's bothering you, so if there is such a technique, when you need to replace some organs to save your life, you can immediately replace them. Are you happy?
I think almost everyone's answer is-"Yes, can't wait"!
3. If these organs need to be cloned some people and use their organs as spares? Do you still want to either? ——Of course, they are manufactured for medical purposes only.
I think many people will hesitate about this question. The desire to survive is great, and we can all understand it deeply. Everyone wants to live a little more, especially when there is a way for you to live more. However, the cloned people are already living bodies exactly like yourself. You take their organs, not as simple as using their donated blood. If you take their organs, they will lose that organ. In the end, you may have saved your life, but they may die. Do you think your life is more important than other lives?
Although there is hesitation, just think about the appearance of death. I think everyone will panic and choose "use, I want to use those organs, I want to treat the disease, I want to live"!
4. So, here comes the final question: when you, by coincidence, are you the clone that was created? How should you face your life?
This is the theme of this movie. The protagonists are all permitted by law, legal, irresistible, and clones. Taking out organs after adulthood is the sole purpose of their lives. They are not counted as humans-although they are exactly the same as humans from body to soul.
When watching this movie, everyone was discussing the violation of human ethics by human cloning. ——A lot of film critics who entered the scene jumped out and shouted: Why don’t they run away? Are they so at ease to accept the arrangement of fate? I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out. . . ——As if this is really talking about human cloning.
Think back again: The film's perspective has never been on the side of the real human being to join the discussion. From the beginning to the end, we have used our own eyes and hearts to examine this life and this destiny.
So why?
Is it really talking about human cloning?
Still, it is actually talking about ourselves.
The first level is
also human, and we are all different from birth. Everyone can only walk a lifetime according to their own limitations. Some are born with an IQ of 140, some are born beautiful, some are rich, and more are born with sparse intelligence and ordinary appearance, and even some are born with a lack of physicality.
Many of us have got good cards when we were born, just like those normal humans who are not clones in the play. Therefore, they treat clones with indifference and disregard, pretending to be invisible, as if it has nothing to do with them-the nurses in the hospital in the lens of traditional Chinese medicine, very calmly talked with the nurses who are clones about the donations of clones. The number of times the organs were produced and when they ended their lives and other "trivial matters", they smiled and looked so ordinary. What are they thinking? ? Maybe I was thinking, "They are so pitiful. Fortunately, I was not a clone when I was born"!
Yes, most people don't think about other things. Because only once in a lifetime. Basically, the sign of life is drawn only at the moment of birth. Now that I am destined. Therefore, if I am a good fate, I do not need to empathize with those who have not drawn a good card-that is because he did not draw and it has nothing to do with me. And those who are unfortunate enough to get bad cards, and those who are born and get bad lots, what can they do? With the general indifference around you, what can you do if you really cannot blame others? I had to live silently and fulfill my due mission.
So, for those film critics who yelled "Why don't they run away", do you think, where can they escape besides fulfilling their mission? !
At the end of this matter, the best development can only be that human clones rise up to rebel collectively in order to fight with humans and gain the right to survive.
On the second level,
many people say that the hard work of the day after tomorrow can change their own destiny. The appearance can be changed, the rich and the poor can be changed. . Yes, between individuals, there is still hope for "efforts" to change their destiny. However, in the end, who can defy his natural destiny? ——For human beings, their innate destiny is to die. From the time and space level we currently belong to, this is really unchangeable.
On the whole, aren't we those clones?
Is it useful for us to resist fate?
We cried to the sky thousands of times, howled like the hero in the play, and resisted the injustice of fate. The reality is still helpless, we are still striding forward and forced to die.
Human beings don't want to leave-the more places they go, the more things they see, and the more they experience, the more they are reluctant to leave the world. The word death is terrible just thinking about it.
We don't want to think about this. Many people have big illusions, thinking that I can overcome this. So we are greedy and selfish. We try to prolong our lives as much as possible, even in exchange for depriving others of their lives! Therefore, all of us have the heart to be king, and we all want to benefit from the world and the country. So we even have to create "clone humans" to solve our own survival problems-even if this is in the final analysis, life is exchanged for life.
Don't we know? What bothers us, to the most fundamental level, is only the proposition about "life".
If life is destined to exist in the form of morning dew. Then our human destiny cannot be changed.
So, what does this movie teach us?
First, life is short. Every child is born, he should be informed of this reality, and then, cherish his whole life and spend it as happily as possible.
Second, no matter what card is drawn, lives are equal. Those who draw good cards, don’t just think about their complacency--or else think about life, what's the meaning of life, whether triumphant or frustrated, it's all about dying—it’s better to use empathy to help people who are not so good. For one thing, the life and value of mankind can be continued as a whole. Secondly, otherwise, people with bad cards may gather a lot of power to drive away those with good cards in one fell swoop and reshuffle the cards. ——To use snatching to obtain the right to survive, the price can only be fighting.
After all, the theme of this film, although not stated explicitly, is nothing but a theme of "respect for (life) and (life) equality". "Protest" is rarely emphasized in British films now. It seems that they have made a lot of progress over the past 100 years.
I hope we can also make progress faster.
