1168 Cloning Frenzy II

Human genetic technology has developed for more than 200 years since its emergence today, and genetic diseases can be intervened in the embryonic stage, although it cannot be completely cured, but it can make the original dominant gene into a recessive gene that does not cause disease.

Originally, the dominant gene caused by the disease of the individual is not suitable for marriage and childbearing, but in this way, no matter what kind of genetic defect is carried, it can live normally, and it also increases the spread of defective genes in a certain way.

It was found that the ontological stem cells of other triplicate cloned embryos did not have zài gene defects, which confirmed the inference that gene defects would lead to variation in clonal embryos.

Defective stem cells continue to be cloned, and sooner or later the cloned embryo will also mutate, but the probability is much lower than that of genetically defective stem cells.

The announcement of the results immediately caused an uproar in public opinion, and the military immediately adjusted the method of extracting stem cells.

Except in special cases, from now on, in principle, only the main stem cells will be extracted for storage, and in special cases, the stem cells of the primary clone can be extracted, and the stem cells of the secondary clone will not be extracted.

At the same time as the introduction of this regulation, the military also revised the recruitment standards for front-line officers and soldiers, and if the stem cell storage base of any military personnel is lower than the minimum standard, they are not allowed to serve in front-line units, and must be transferred to non-combat units in the rear or retired.

The so-called stem cell base is a provision made to prevent accidents when cloning a single stem cell, that is, to leave some more stem cells and several layers of insurance.

At present, the military's stem cell retention program is to collectively extract stem cells before the mission. In other words, in addition to the stem cells of the main body, the stem cells of the military are also preserved in the primary and secondary cloning of stem cells!

After the regulations were promulgated, the stem cell repository immediately carried out a comprehensive inventory of all inventories, and cleaned up all secondary cloned stem cells on the premise that there was no shortage of native stem cells and primary clone stem cells.

The actions of the military are not small, and the reaction of the people is even greater, and many guys who have left stem cells and are ready to live forever immediately rushed to the stem cell bank after getting the news. That is, the private cloning institution carries out the second stem cell storage.

In the foreseeable future. These guys are definitely going to have a third, fourth, and Nth stem cell retention.

Anyway, even if there is a problem with the health of the body, it can be solved at one time through guò cloning, as long as there are enough stem cells stored, it is not a dream to live for 180,000 years.

Stem cells from a primary clone are also available. The cloning industry is fully predictable. And it will prosper for a long time. On the day the news was released, all the stocks related to cloning were up and down, and various cloning centers sprung up everywhere.

Persons who have mastered cloning techniques. There is also a respectable title: the cloner.

Although the cloning technology is very mature and the principle is very simple, the cloning itself is still a high-end level in the medical industry, and the number of systematically trained cloning artists is not large, and it is not a field that any cat or dog can set foot in.

Sure enough, within a few days, there were several cases of sudden illness and rush to the doctor.

In these cases, the situation of the victims is almost identical, that is, the elderly are at the end of their lives, and when cloning is necessary to continue their lives, civilian cloning institutions have been found.

The private cloning institutions are also medical institutions that have been approved by the medical department and have cloning qualifications, but although they have successfully cloned human bodies, they do not have the ability to transplant memories, and the dumbfounded victims can only stare at the new body and cannot use it.

Memory transplantation is much more advanced than cloning, and without this technology, cloning to keep life alive is a joke.

I have to say that it is the sadness of ordinary people to be in such an era of profound change.

Angry victims' families took the cloning center to court, but the cloning center that almost got off the hook also had its own solution, proposing to freeze the patient's body and clones together, and then thaw them for memory transplantation when the memory transplant technology was mature.

On the one hand, they are waiting for death, and on the other hand, they are freezing and waiting for a glimmer of hope, and no one will choose the hopeless former.

Cryonics is much cheaper than the cost of human cloning.

Since then, various cloning centers have played a one-stop service brand, and many older people have chosen to clone themselves and freeze themselves in the last resort, waiting for the day of rejuvenation.

Theoretically, it is not too late to re-resuscitate and then clon after freezing, but the activity of stem cells in the elderly is lower than that of young people, and no one knows whether the freezing time will adversely affect the quality of stem cells, so the vast majority of people choose to clone first and then freeze.

The military has long made public some technical details of memory transplantation, and although there are not many medical institutions that can perform memory transplantation, there are many places where memories can be preserved, and this business has soon become one of the main businesses of the cloning center.

Disabled people are potential users of cloning centers second only to the elderly, and healthy ordinary people also want to leave stem cells and memories in case of an accident or something.

In order to ensure the healthy development of the cloning industry, the state quickly came up with industry-specific rigid regulations to standardize the qualifications of cloning centers.

In addition, the military has also opened up memory transplantation technology to the civilian sector and directly sold equipment that can be used for memory transplantation.

In addition to the main body, this device also has two operating beds that can lie on people, and the transplantation process is very simple, the body and the clone lie on two beds respectively, and the device can automatically transfer memories from the body to the clone's brain.

As for brain transplantation, in addition to the aging of the body, brain cells are also aging, and if there are diseases such as Alzheimer's, there is no point in transplanting the brain at all.

However, memory transplantation is different, even if the brain is diseased, the memory can be retrieved normally without affecting the body function after transplantation.

In addition, in order to prevent the social problems caused by allogeneic memory transplantation, the military has also imposed functional restrictions on the equipment sold, so that the transplantation process can only be completed between two individuals with the same genes, that is, between the main body and the clone, and it is completely impossible to carry out allogeneic memory transplantation at will like the Second Department of the General Staff.

If for some reason a memory transplant must be carried out, it can only be performed at a military hospital designated by the military after a series of complex identity verification and review by the security department. (To be continued......)
