Some people say that when technology develops to a certain level, what it brings to people is no longer welfare, but disaster. Most people nowadays see the damage to the ecological environment by human beings. The frequent outbreaks of natural disasters and the constantly disappearing species all remind us that the earth is suffering from human harm at all times.
But what is sad is that in this case, the development of science is spreading in another direction. How life is produced has always been a mysterious and noble topic for human beings.
When technology developed to a certain level, human beings began to try to play such a creator. A few years ago, it was revealed on the Internet that scientists implanted human stem cells into monkey embryos, and then separated the embryos from the monkey's mother for culture.
Recently, this experiment has achieved great results. At first, human stem cells combined with monkey embryos could only survive in the laboratory for a few hours, but now they can survive for more than 20 days. If we continue to study this way, scientists have every reason to believe that humans may be able to create a completely different species.
In fact, this kind of research on mosaic embryos makes most people find it difficult to understand. Scientists initially studied this technology for two main purposes, the first was to create a cell model of the human body. Although technology has developed to this level, there are still many diseases that humans cannot defeat. Once a human cell model is successfully created, it can conduct in-depth research on human diseases and thus develop many special medicines.
In the scientific community, human experiments violate all human moral principles, but there is no ethical condemnation when researching with human cells. In fact, this technology research is also to enable scientists to better understand the encoding of genes. Genes can be said to be a very important part of life. Once humans can crack the code on genes, they are likely to create superhumans and completely cut off the bad nature of human DNA fragments.
At the same time, the success of this technology is also very likely, bringing a huge breakthrough to humans in organ transplantation. However, there is also a very controversy to consider this technology from another perspective.
That is the life form produced by combining human stem cells and animal embryos. What kind of species is it?
If they are humans, there are a large number of animal cells in the cells of these organisms, and they cannot be simply said that they are humans. But if they are classified into the ranks of animals, the various behaviors of this living organism will inevitably have great similarities with humans.
Imagine what kind of reaction will a creature with a human brain but an animal body appear in front of you?
When you think of such a scene, most people will definitely think of orc in their minds. Yes, this is a disadvantage that this technology is likely to bring. Even if this living organism was created by humans, their ultimate development direction was to go through a lifetime in the laboratory or to survive on the earth in other ways. If this question cannot be explained, the cruelty of this experiment is far more terrifying than we think.
