Chapter 418 Human Civilization Genetic Modification Ordinance

Hong Qiming's words, like a signal, quickly suppressed the discussion of the congressmen.

The originally noisy meeting room suddenly became much quieter.

Several congressmen who were the most vocal in opposition looked at each other and stopped their opposition.

Seeing this, Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that Hong Qiming has done a lot in the parliament during this period.

At least, his prestige is much greater than when he first took office.

Although to some extent, this phenomenon is not a good thing.

The concentration of power is bound to cause some bad consequences.

But at a time when human civilization has not completely escaped from the survival crisis, a certain degree of power concentration is actually very beneficial to human civilization.

Hong Qiming looked around solemnly.

It seemed that he saw the hesitation on the faces of many congressmen, and he said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, if you have any objections, you may as well raise them boldly."

"This is the parliament, not the one-man show of me, Hong."

Hearing this, many conservative congressmen looked a little excited.

"Mr. Councillor, I think there is something wrong with Professor Lu's proposal."

A gray-haired councillor spoke first.

Hong Qiming did not show any abnormal expression on his face: "Councilman Antonio, tell me what you think."

Antonio reached out to untie the electromagnetic adsorption device, stood up and looked at Lu Yongchang on the side: "Professor Lu, will there be any unexpected situation with genetic modification technology?"

"If there is an unexpected situation, can the Academy of Sciences solve it?"

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment.

"Thanks to the biotechnology of the Proxima Centauri, the Academy of Sciences' research on human genes has far exceeded the past."

"But humans are complex individuals after all."

"There will be no unexpected situation in the genetic modification plan. Even now, I can't make such a guarantee."

After the voice fell, the meeting room became chaotic again.

Even Hong Qiming looked at Lu Yongchang in surprise.

"Then you..." Antonio said anxiously.

Lv Yongchang chuckled: "Listen to me first."

"Maybe you misunderstood what I meant."

"Just like hibernation hormone, it cannot be guaranteed to work for everyone."

"Magna's visceral retinal gene may not be suitable for all humans."

The gray-haired Antonio suddenly realized: "I roughly understand what you mean."

"You think the risk of this technology is controllable, right?"

Lv Yongchang naturally nodded without hesitation.

What a joke, what research is he doing if the risk is uncontrollable?

To be on the safe side, he even took a look in the technology tree system in advance, fearing that he would inexplicably click on some dangerous technology again.

"In order to ensure the overall safety of mankind." Lu Yongchang spoke again, "The Academy of Sciences will conduct a series of rigorous biological experiments in the future."

"Genetic modification technology will only be promoted after the experimental results are qualified."

"By then, humans will be divided into ten batches, undergo genetic modification in turn and land on Dawn to start a new life."

"The time span of the entire modification project is tentatively set at 100 years."

"I believe that this can greatly control the potential risks of genetic engineering."

"I have no questions." Antonio nodded thoughtfully and sat back in his seat.

Hong Qiming's voice rang again: "Does any other congressman have questions?"

"Professor Lu, I have another question."

A young conservative congressman said: "Will this technology affect human genetic genes?"

The moment the question was raised, not only the congressmen, but also Hong Qiming's expression became solemn.

Genetic genes, this is the biggest problem that human genetic modification projects need to consider.

The reason is simple.

Even if there are unexpected situations in genetic modification of individuals, at best it can only affect one or several generations.

Humanity still has a chance to continue.

But if the genetic genes are changed...

Then the entire human civilization will be affected.

If we are not careful, humans will fall into the crisis of extinction!

"As the chief scientist, I can assure you."

Lv Yongchang nodded seriously: "Unless it is determined whether it has an impact on genetic genes, the Academy of Sciences will not use it for human experiments."

"Not only now, but also in the future."

"The Academy of Sciences will never use genetic modification technology for human genetic genes!"

The young conservative congressman looked at Lu Yongchang for a moment and nodded slowly: "I hope so."

"Any questions?" Hong Qiming waited for a moment and asked again.

Seeing that no one responded, he took a deep breath and reached out to press the button in front of him.

"Since there are no questions, let's start the voting process."

...

After Hong Qiming took the lead in casting a vote in favor, the voting process was no longer suspenseful.

The proposal for human genetic modification successfully won the support of the People's Union Parliament with 81.7% of the votes in favor.

But the meeting did not end.

Compared with cloning technology, genetic modification technology is not a truly dangerous technology.

The reason is very simple.

Once cloning technology emerges and is widely used, the final outcome of civilization will inevitably be extinction.

But genetic modification technology will not necessarily lead human civilization to destruction.

On the contrary.

After adding various "shackles" to it, genetic modification technology can completely lead human civilization to a higher level.

Therefore, after the genetic modification proposal was passed,

after several hours of discussion, the parliament added several restrictions to the human genetic modification bill.

"Human Civilization Genetic Modification Regulations"

First.

Human genetic modification technology must not be used to modify human genetic genes.

Second.

The human genetic modification plan adopts the principle of voluntariness.

No one may force individuals to undergo genetic modification.

Third.

Human genetic modification technology can only be used for adult individuals, and reproductive cell sampling and preservation must be carried out before genetic modification.

The above three regulations are jointly supervised by the Human Federation Academy of Sciences and the Human Federation Parliament.

If violated, it will be punished as a crime against humanity.

Crimes against humanity, four bright red characters, are deeply engraved on the document, alerting everyone present.

The first two regulations were proposed by the members, but the third regulation was added by Lu Yongchang himself.

Although the first regulation is used as a guarantee, genetic modification will not pollute human reproductive genes.

However, to be on the safe side, every adult individual needs to preserve their reproductive cells before undergoing genetic modification.

In this way, even if a huge genetic crisis occurs in the future, human civilization can quickly recover with the help of artificial uterus technology.

In this way, the harm of genetic modification technology is reduced to the lowest point.
