Do anything to survive

More than ten years ago, it was recommended by my teacher when I was taking a biochemistry class. At that time, I felt that this was a good science fiction. Especially, biology majors were more concerned about the practical application and ethical issues of tissue engineering and genetic engineering. And this film also happens to discuss the ethical issues of human cloning. In order to make a fortune, scientists and shareholders sell "life insurance" to the outside elites, which can be surrogate and provide organs that perfectly match the original body, which greatly prolongs the life of the original body, and at the same time Tell them that these carcasses are like plants, without emotion or pain. In fact, the cloned person not only has the various senses of a normal person, but also has a real feeling. Whenever the body wants to activate this "insurance", the cloned islanders become the lucky ones in the big lottery, and can go to " The only uncontaminated pure land, the island", until the E-generation fetus was infected, with real memory of curiosity and ontology, everything changed... These cloned people, like raised animals, are tested every day for various Health indicators, with reasonable diet, wearing the same clothes, receiving simple enlightenment education, and still working, waiting for the original lottery to be drawn at any time, what about human rights? Ethics? These clones are not regarded as It's a man... The doctor knew that if the outside world knew about all this, it would definitely cause controversy, so everything was built in an underground project... But even if the world knew about this, would everyone really object? No, Lincoln When 6E went to his body, the body used the excuse of wearing shoes, but in fact he went to contact the company to deal with them, and when the black report captain arrived, he said "don't shoot, he is my insurance, I have to use it", so Many people will do anything to survive, making choices between their own lives and the lives of others. Ethics are not worth mentioning.

Human cloning will definitely not be publicly approved, but there are many industries that are not open to the public. With the continuous progress of life science, who would dare to say that such a thing in the movie will never happen?
