Chapter 37: Topics of clones

Duncan's injuries have recovered almost completely in the past three days. The wound has just scabbed over and he can walk.

His armor and bionic robot have also been made overtime. He didn't go back immediately because he wanted to keep in touch with Alice to avoid being betrayed.

After Alice finished her training in the Avengers, she followed him every day with two suitcases. She stared at the surroundings coldly with black sunglasses, and she could take off the sunglasses at night, and her knife-like eyes in the daytime became like a kitten.

It was certain that something would go wrong with the Umbrella. If he didn't let the situation go wrong, he would not be able to see who was targeting him.

Finally, on the fourth day after the attack, Alice returned to Stark Tower, and the two of them and a group of Avengers members held a small banquet on the top floor.

On the booth, Duncan smiled and greeted Alice, who was walking slowly in a silk dress, "How are you doing recently?"

"Not bad, are you injured?" As soon as she approached, Alice smelled the smell of medicine on Duncan with her excellent sense of smell, and frowned immediately.

Duncan smiled and explained the situation to Alice.

After listening to the narration, Alice expressed anger at the attacker.

Although the two had known each other for a short time, their relationship was better than that of old classmates who had known each other for several years.

Alice was grateful to Duncan for pulling her out of the cage, and she recognized her identity as a person of the same kind, so she trusted and cared about Duncan more than anyone else.

"Do you want me to go back?"

After learning that Duncan was attacked and injured, Alice had the idea of ​​going back to protect Duncan.

Duncan refused and said, "No, you continue to study here. Tony made me a battle armor and a bionic robot. I will hide in the hive and let the released robot take my place. There will be no problem with safety."

After chatting with Alice for a while, Steve, Natasha, Banner and Tony also sat here, and this time Barton was also there.

When the Avengers got together, they had to tell the guests about the mission.

In a few months, many of Hydra's bases were removed by the Avengers. Some small bases that received the news evacuated and hid early. The capture of Hydra members scattered around the world will be handed over to various countries.

These guys with extraordinary abilities are basically focused on attacking bases.

Duncan nodded repeatedly, showing a righteous aura, and said: "Don't waste the captured strongholds! If you catch Hydra scientists, you can store their cut body tissues. Don't waste their brains! They will use their new controllable bodies to contribute to all mankind!"

Replicants, this is a relatively complex issue that people avoid.

Sharp ethical contradictions will always make replicants a technology that is difficult for humans to accept.

Steve and Natasha realized what Duncan wanted to do after hearing that Duncan wanted the body tissues of those Hydra scientists. They found it difficult to evaluate whether this was good or bad.

The taboo door of Umbrella has long been opened. Facts have proved that replicant technology can greatly promote human progress... Of course, if it is not properly controlled, it will also give rise to countless tragedies.

Hydra's evil scientists are very talented, and their scientific research capabilities are very worthy of recognition. The predecessor of SHIELD, the Strategic Science Corps, has also absorbed Hydra scientists.

Duncan's proposal, to put it lightly, is to reuse prisoners of war.

Steve and Natasha are silent now, not because they think it is bad to do so, but because the clones themselves make them feel uncomfortable.

What if one day they suddenly meet someone who looks exactly like them, how should they face it?

Tony stroked the edge of the wine glass, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his eyes stared at the table with lifeless eyes. He was the most devoted in thinking, and he was also the first to react. He raised his hand and said, "Second! People with great value being imprisoned is a waste of human development. It's good! I think it's good!"

Others looked at Tony with a look of seeing a ghost.

"Don't... don't touch this taboo research, clones of clones, this kind of anti-moral and anti-human rights thing should not happen!"

Banner, who participated in the development of the super soldier serum, was very conservative on this matter. When others were still silent, he had already spoken out to oppose it.

After realizing that everyone else was looking at him, his slightly excited mood slowly returned to the appearance of an honest man.

"I'm sorry, I got a little excited. But I'm against this kind of thing. Clones are also human beings. Human beings should not be treated as commodities and slaves..."

Steve and Natasha looked at Duncan and Alice silently.

Duncan didn't feel much, but Alice agreed with Banner's point of view. The clone technology should not be touched. She and Duncan were the direct victims of the technology.

"No! Cloning technology is a great invention that can promote the progress of human civilization. The value of technology should not be bound by morality!" For some reason, Tony refuted Banner.

He put down his crossed legs, and his whole momentum suddenly changed. He said with a serious expression: "Cloning technology is a variant of fertility technology. When test-tube babies appeared, they were also criticized, but now many people in society have accepted test-tube babies, and many couples who cannot have children have obtained the crystallization of love.

In my opinion, the same is true for cloning technology. As long as strict supervision is required and the clone is given a complete identity, he is not a commodity, but a human being! Walking on the street, no one would know that he is a 'fake'! "

Steve crossed his arms, stretched out his huge chest muscles, and asked, "Who can supervise this?"

"Tony, no, clones and cloning technology are different, clones should not appear!" Banner's voice rose slightly.

Tony seemed to be lost in thought again, not even looking at Banner. He tapped on the table and said: "The use of replicant technology can be well supervised. This is a major breakthrough in the field of biology. Don't be like It’s like Banner, the old man from the church.”

"No..." Banner was already looking at Tony with disappointed eyes.

Replicants are involved in all aspects of human nature. He does not want to see the emergence of a "triangular trade" route that is more difficult to break. The benefits provided by replicants are enough to squeeze out the conscience of many people.

Banner shuddered when he imagined the clones being picked like livestock in a slaughterhouse, removing their organs and throwing the useless corpses into processing machines, and he didn't want to see such a scene.

Steve, who was ignored, asked depressedly: "Who can supervise?"

Natasha looked at Banner nervously and said, "Guys, maybe we should drink two more drinks."

This farce made Duncan dumbfounded. "You are thinking too complicated. What I cloned are war criminals. They should use their knowledge to make a new life. The real criminals are punished, and the cloned individual is to prevent his knowledge from being used." Waste, as for the ethical issues involved in replicating people..."

Snap!

With a clap of his hands, Duncan leaned back and said, "This is nothing more than a trust issue! Just because you can refuse the interview for replicant technology, it doesn't mean that no one will research it and carry it forward in the future. Resistance is like a spring. Wait until humans really need this. When using this technology, the rebounding bullets will penetrate the order! What we should do most is to establish relevant regulations in advance!”

"Yes! That's it!" Tony also smiled and said: "Supervision can be left to artificial intelligence, it will be the best law enforcer!"
