Warlock of the Marvel Universe

Chapter 839 Ethical issues?Social Issues?None of it is a problem.

Speaking of anything in this world, we all care about other people's evaluations, or will be affected by evaluations.It's just that the direction of care is different.

Just like a restaurant owner hopes that others will praise his food, a driver hopes that others will comment on his skill, a dancer looks at others and tells them that he has a good figure, a singer hopes that others will say that he has a good voice, and a crosstalk talker hopes to die together. Anyway, that's what I mean, I hope others will say good things about him.

Medicine sellers are naturally not exempt from vulgarity, but there are generally only two evaluations that he cares about. The first is that the medicine is real, and the second is that the medicine does have good curative effects. As for the rest, it doesn't matter.

"They can say whatever they want when others are talking. If they want to boycott our company's business, that's actually very good." Moira shook her head and said with slight disdain, "As long as they are sick and about to die. When they find out that only our company’s medicine can cure it, and they would rather die than use our company’s medicine, then their resistance will be considered successful.”

In short, it is a sentence, life is yours and medicine is mine, whether love can cure it or not

It's as simple as that, because a person would never buy these drugs when they are healthy. If they resist, just boycott, even if they say that these drugs reek of the death of innocent people, because no matter how much they say, they will only It's just showing generosity to others.

Only when they are sick and on the verge of death is their determination tested.When he was suffering from the disease and lying on the hospital bed, the medicine that could save his life was placed beside his bed. If he drank this medicine, he could save his life. At that time, he did not know that what he was asking about was the stench of death. , or the fragrance of life

This seems overbearing because it is a monopoly.If the food in this restaurant doesn’t taste good, you can change it to another one. If the song doesn’t sound good, you can change it to another one. But there is only one life-saving medicine. If you don’t use this medicine, why should you use it?

When one's life is completely monopolized in the hands of others, that person's confidence is so low. The only way he can resist is to choose a decent way to die, and they may not really care.

This kind of thing sounds very unfair, unreasonable and unreasonable, but I'm sorry, but this is reality.

So Moira is not afraid of what kind of evaluation she will get at all, and she even doesn't even care about what kind of evaluation she will get.

Doctors are kind-hearted, but I say doctors are scientific.However, in the so-called science, it is a matter of course that if you want to make progress, you must make sacrifices. It is the death of each particle that promotes the progress of modern medicine. It can be said that modern medicine is piled up with corpses.

As for what the dead are and what the sadness of the living is, I summed it up in one word, unfortunately, that’s all it can do.

Don't rush to accuse me of being ruthless. It can be said that the whole world has been benefited by penicillin. But who can tell how many people died of allergies during the promotion of penicillin without checking the data? The first one died of allergies. Who are these people? I’m afraid you can’t even blurt out who invented penicillin, let alone mourn for these people.

But this is easy to understand. When did you really take the suffering of others seriously?

When it is reported that people died due to medical experiments, almost everyone will lament that this is really unfortunate. Is it okay to kill people for the sake of science?

Let's take this as coming from the heart, but once they go on to say that medicine has made significant progress and conquered many incurable diseases, they will turn to shouting that it's great, great, great, such scientists are really great. Bravo.Because they thought they could benefit from it.

However, how many people have sacrificed for this achievement? I am probably the only one who can remember their great sacrifice and mourn these victims who have no relatives. I am the only one who sacrificed them personally.

"Okay everyone, I have shown our company's achievements one after another." Moira glanced at everyone present. "Now I want to talk about a future plan."

These investors looked at each other and knew the main course was coming.The things they brought out earlier were all developed and finished products. Their investment in them now is nothing more than helping them speed up production and expand sales. This does not cost a few dollars but brings huge profits, and they can be regarded as sitting back and enjoying the gains.

But there is no free lunch in the world. They take out such a large piece of cake to divide it. They just want to stick to their own people so that they can fund their next most expensive development and research.

Elizabeth sat upright and asked, "Excuse me, what is this plan?"

"Our company is called Gospel, and it is to bring good news to all mankind." Moira said solemnly, "The name of this plan is called Human Completion Plan."

"Complete it," Moore Dupont asked with some confusion.

"For a long time, humans have always thought that they are an excellent species, the so-called primates of all things." Moira slowly explained, "But that is entirely because there are only those beasts without intelligence around us."

"But even so, humans don't have the strength of a bear, the speed of a leopard, or the eyes of an eagle. In other words, even compared to wild beasts, I have shortcomings."

"And now, we know that we are not the only intelligent race in the boundless universe. The existence of aliens has been presented to us in the most brutal way. Let's not mention that the others who invaded us are just puppet races. But. Asgardians, this race that we once worshiped as gods, how do we humans compare with them?"

Without waiting for the people here to answer, Moira said to herself, "They have divine bodies that are harder than steel, and more powerful than the huge machines that we are proud of as a result of our wisdom, not to mention their long history. The average lifespan is 5000 years, which is really enviable to the point of tears."

"So," Moira concluded, "we can compare with them. Although it is hard to say, the fact is that we are inferior races and inferior creatures."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was a little unhappy. After all, no one wanted to be called an inferior creature, but then they felt a sense of powerlessness.Their family may be able to control everything on Earth, but in the eyes of the Asgardians, this is nothing.

"Human beings are not perfect, and they have flaws, so they need to be made up for." Zolar Rockefeller, who had been silent for the whole time, forced an ugly smile and said, "That's what your plan means. I must have understood it correctly."

"Absolutely correct." Moira nodded solemnly. "Species progress in competition with each other, but for a long time we humans are actually competing with ourselves, so our plans have almost stagnated, but now Asgard People appear in front of us, why don’t we catch up with them and restart our evolutionary path?”

"Start the road to evolution." Pei Bo narrowed his eyes. "You or your company want to play the role of God? This is too arrogant."

"Please don't get confused, I'm just a scientist." Moira's eyes showed a little fanaticism. "To me, God can be a phenomenon, or it can be said to be a species. If it really appeared at that time, In front of me, my only thought was to analyze its composition and its principles."

"After all, translating the truth of the world to the world is the only mission of scientists."

Peibo kept silent. Now she really doubted whether the Moira in front of her was Maya Hanson.Because although there are some similarities in appearance, the difference in personality is really too big.The Maya Hansen of the past was just a misguided academic who still retained her humanity.But the Moira in front of her is not so much a person as she is a symbol bearing the title of scientist.

If they are really the same person, then what happened to her? Is there really someone in this world? Or is there a way to tell a person's character to such a degree of distortion in such a short period of time?

"But, the gap between humans and Asgardians is so big, can we really catch up?" Rockefeller felt that despite the fanaticism in Moira's words, what she said was reasonable.

"According to my consideration, there are three main differences between species." Moira did not answer the question directly, but slowly narrated, "The first point is the difference in appearance. This is the easiest point to solve.

, and there is no difference in appearance between us and Asgardians. Even if you appreciate Thor's somewhat rough appearance, you can just find a regular plastic surgery hospital. "

"The most difficult thing to change is the gap between IQ and thinking. However, the IQ of Asgardians is not higher than ours. If we use Thor as a template, we can even develop a small sense of superiority."

"And the third point is the physical gap. I think the difficulty of changing this gap is only medium. But now we don't need to overcome the most difficult one. We already have a solution to the simplest one, so we only need to solve this Just win the medium-difficulty questions.”

"Medium? I don't think it's that simple." Moore Dupont smiled. "This level of physical change doesn't just mean going to the gym to exercise, so how do you plan to solve this problem?"

Everyone present was very curious about this, but now they really looked at the problem with a chatty mentality.After all, this is just a future plan, and the goals set are still so ambitious. They don't expect to be able to come up with practical solutions now.

"Gene editing." Moira said one word confidently. "If humans want to catch up with Asgard, they must change their own genes. This is the only realistic and popular method."

"Gene editing" Pei Bo finally found something familiar with me. Killian had sold this rhetoric to her before, but Killian's purpose at that time was to use the Extremis virus. Super soldiers have been created, and now Moira is raising the banner of human evolution, but who knows if this is just changing the soup without changing the medicine?

"Gene editing seems to raise a wide range of ethical issues," Pei Bo said, shaking his head. "For example, if our genes have changed, are we still human beings?"

"There is no need to think about it at all." Moira seemed to have no worries about this. "If apes also consider ethical issues and say that if we continue to evolve, we will no longer be apes, will there still be humans today?"

"Besides, gene editing will cause ethical issues. What about organ transplantation? In order to maintain your own life, you put organs from living or dead people into your own body. What kind of ghoul or suture monster is this?"

"Blood transfusion therapy, which relies on ingesting other people's blood to save lives, is this considered a vampire practice?"

"What if a pacemaker is installed? A human's life is completely maintained by a small machine. Could it be that he is an alchemy puppet?"

"In the progress of human evolutionary science, similar ethical issues have been broken through more than once. Human ethics and morals are constantly changing with the changes in reality, and the final result is that ethics give way to reality, and So simple."

"It's not that simple." Peibo felt that Moira was too understated, and the consequences of gene editing are not only ethical issues. "Once a genetically modified superman appears, unmodified humans may not be able to compete." , gradually become extinct, or become unimportant, human beings will start self-designed competition. This will cause very serious social problems, and even the social structure will undergo earth-shaking changes."

"Oh, I guess it will be like this." Facing such a serious question, Moira just nodded indifferently.

"I think that although your company is taking the opportunity of human evolution, it should also want to make profits from it. You have also anticipated that this extremely unfair phenomenon will occur." Pei Bo asked what other people also wanted very much. A question asked, "Aren't you worried about this?"

"Don't worry, there is nothing to worry about." Moira shook her head decisively, "The strong consume the weak, no matter how you hide it, this is the reality. And you said that human beings will fall into self-designed competition, but it seems that you did not mention this Things will be the same as when humans get along harmoniously.”

"Competition for resources, competition for living space, and even competition for partners. Human beings have long been trapped in countless competitions. Is there more like this?"

"Besides, I'm just a scientist. I research and create. Other issues are not my concern."

The Eredar Twins knew that it was time for them to take the stage, so Oresesi stood up and said, "I admit that our company wants to make a profit from this technology, and at the same time, I admit that this research project takes time and requires a large investment of money. "

"However, considering that this project is too long-term, we plan to conduct it in phases. However, if the first phase of our research is successful, humans can say goodbye to congenital diseases and have strong immunity to acquired diseases. , the memory and reaction power will also be greatly enhanced, and the life span will probably be extended by about ten years."

Everyone's eyes lit up. In fact, among the people present, Pei Bo was the only one who thought so deeply, because based on their family background, as long as this technology is successful, they or their children will definitely be able to transform it.

“And during the first phase of research and development, many valuable by-products will also be produced, such as more advanced gene-targeted therapies, specific drugs for the treatment of congenital diseases, etc., which can definitely make us make money first. "

"As for such a profound social problem?" Salolas stood up at this time, put his hands on the table and looked around everyone and asked, "I would like to ask everyone here, which major invention in human history did not first serve the powerful? "

"Just like the cars speeding by on the road outside. When these things were invented, weren't they toys for the rich? Can ordinary people afford them?"

"Cars are everywhere now, almost every household has them. But has anyone considered the issue of fairness?"

"No, this is entirely due to the maturity of technology and the substantial increase in productivity, as well as the fact that manufacturers feel that just making money from rich people is still too little, and decide that it is time to scratch the surface of ordinary people."

"As a result, costs have dropped and cars have been mass-produced, making them no longer a rare item. This makes it possible for every household to buy several cars."

"As for those who have not been transformed, they will be eliminated. There is no way around it. Survival of the fittest has happened a lot." Oreses took over and said, "Just like the invention of the steam engine, how many craftsmen and Small workshops went bankrupt and people were starving to death on the streets. The invention of steamboats cut off their livelihoods and left many trackers no longer able to make boats."

"As for Ms. Peibo, I won't say why Tony Stark would be Iron Man if he didn't have money." Saloras was not so polite when she spoke to Peibo. After all, she had no intention of winning over her during this meeting." Just tell me, are you willing to remove all CNC machine tools from Stark Enterprises, so as to free up a large number of jobs to support those inefficient workers?"

"But since you raised such a serious question with such a conscience, it would be heartless if we turned a blind eye." Oreses turned to Elizabeth and smiled eagerly, "The Morgan family is a financial tycoon, so in our third The first stage is the time for success, and I want to ask your family to save those ordinary people."

"Why?" The corner of Elizabeth's mouth twitched. She actually already knew what Oreses was going to say. This idea really made him want to laugh.

"I would like to ask your family's bank to issue a loan similar to home loans and car loans at the same time as we release the technology. The tentative name is called a genetic modification loan. This can greatly alleviate the problem."

"And since your family bank is doing good things, we can't help but express it. We can make a promise that for anyone who borrows money from your bank, our company will get a [-]% discount on the price of genetic modification."

"This shouldn't be a big problem." Elizabeth finally no longer had to hold back her smile. "It's about doing good deeds. Our family has always been enthusiastic about charity and will definitely support this decision."

"This is not possible." Moore Dupont interjected unhappily, "Doing charity can make you more beautiful than before? Then where should we put our conscience? Although our DuPont family does not have your family in the financial industry, we are also willing to establish A special foundation is providing loans. I said we are discussing business together now, so you can’t favor one over the other.”

"That's right, that's right." Zolar Rockefeller nodded repeatedly. "We can all do charity together. How can you do all the good deeds by yourself?"
