Of course, Li Wei knows how much impact his research will bring to human society if it is successful. On the earth plane, science fiction writer Aldous Huxley constructed a very Terrible human society.Human beings have been selected from birth, and all inferior genes have been eliminated, and everyone has been selected for a profession and implanted with suitable genes before birth.What a perfect society it sounds, where everyone is born with a healthy and strong body and a smart mind, and everyone is competent at their jobs.

But once you think about it carefully, this society is so terrible, because it completely prohibits the right of human beings to choose from birth to growth.Why do I have to be a space technology engineer?Why can't I be a bard?Even in this fictitious future society, any occupation that does not produce material value to society will be excluded from the scope of vocational training.And the basis for the birth of this society is the extreme development of genetic technology, genetic technology and human reproduction technology. Human reproduction has changed from the behavior between two opposite sexes to the behavior similar to large factory production.Li Wei knows that this research must have opened Pandora's box, but he also firmly believes that the last thing left in this box is hope, and human beings must have a way to find that hope.

"I still say that every epoch-making technological invention of human beings is accompanied by major unpredictable dangers, but we humans are very wise to avoid that danger, so I don't think there is any problem with my genetic research. And In order to avoid medical ethics and moral issues, our research is currently only at the cell level, not even embryos. From this point of view, our moral sense is stronger than that of some hypocritical medical research institutions. It's much higher." Li Wei sent a public letter of his own to major news agencies and media around the world through his public relations assistant.

In addition to this passage, Li Wei also released many research reports of the institute to prove that his research did not violate the restricted area of ​​medical ethics.At the same time, Li Wei quoted Dr. Davis, the director of the institute, to defend himself, "The genetic technology we research is fundamentally for a better future for mankind. We only provide customers with risk reports for a series of diseases. We They do not actively provide diagnostic reports and treatment opinions. It can be said that the final decision is still in the hands of the client and his doctor.”

After Li Wei published the open letter, he immediately announced the establishment of Gene and Genetic Medicine Technology Co., Ltd., saying that he would promote genetic screening technology, and the first thing to do was cancer.Originally, the media thought that Li Wei's act of setting up a company was a provocation, but what they didn't expect was that the public raised their hands in favor of Li Wei's decision.Although modern medicine has been very prosperous, the treatment for cancer is still "early detection and early treatment".Generally speaking, the survival rate of the first stage of cancer is more than 90%, but the survival rate of the second stage of cancer drops to 50%; and when it comes to the fourth stage of cancer, no matter how good the doctor is and cooperates with the best With follow-up treatment and rehabilitation methods, the five-year survival rate has also dropped to about 10%.

因此如果能通过基因筛查来评估自己罹患癌症的几率并采取一定手段来避免癌症发生，这样的检测手段还是受到大众的欢迎。而李玮成立的基因与遗传医学技术有限公司很快就退出了基因检测1.0版本，这套机器又分为高配版、标准版和入门版。其中入门版只能检测7种常见癌症的发病几率；而标准版则多达15种；至于高配版除了能检查20种癌症的罹患几率，还能评估未来3年和5年罹患某种癌症的具体几率有多高。

After this set of machines officially entered the release stage, it immediately became the crazy purchase target of major hospitals and medical examination centers.What surprised Li Wei was that when hospitals and physical examination centers were launching cancer genetic screening, a certain super actress announced her chances of developing breast and ovarian cancer on her social media.She said that her mother and grandmother both died of breast cancer, so she will perform pre-excision surgery according to the doctor's advice to avoid the risk of future cancer.

She wrote in an open letter to the media, "I know this has been a very difficult decision and I am grateful to my husband and my children for standing behind me and supporting me. My mother and my maternal grandmother both suffered from breast cancer. To die early is a regret that I will never be able to make up for. Thanks to the advanced technology now, I can make a choice before I have cancer. Yes, I have made my choice, I will choose to have pre-extraction surgery. I know what such a surgery means to a woman, but I will not hold back and regret it, because I want to go to my son and daughter's graduation, I want to go to my daughter's wedding, and I will Wanted to hug my son's first child... and all of this as long as I can live healthy. So after careful consideration and doctor's advice, I have made the decision now. Thanks to those who encourage me on social media And the people who support me, it makes me feel warm. May God bless me! May God bless you all!"

Li Wei's public relations assistant did not expect that Li Wei would change the public's perception of him in this way. Many people made their own decisions because of the genetic screening report, and those who made these decisions all thanked Li Wei in the media. Wei disclosed this technology.Moreover, in order to put an end to some people's doubts, Li Wei required the purchaser to abide by a rule when selling these devices, that is, genetic screening of fetuses is strictly prohibited without the signature of a professional doctor.

Although Li Wei did not explain this, the company's public relations director explained in an interview with the New York Times, "Whether it is the company or the company's chairman, Mr. Li, we believe that unlimited genetic screening for fetuses It is against medical ethics. Unless it is based on medical purposes, we strictly prohibit the purchaser of our equipment from conducting genetic screening on pregnant women and pregnant women's fetuses. Although we have a complete medical contract to bind the purchaser, we cannot guarantee Procurers will scrupulously fulfill their commitments. Therefore, we encourage public opinion and the general public to monitor all institutions in society that conduct such screening to ensure that they comply with our regulations."

Although genetic and genetic medical technology companies have strict regulations on fetal genetic screening, doctors still recommend early genetic screening for fetuses whose parents have a family history of serious diseases, so as to avoid waiting for fertilized eggs to develop into fetuses Miscarriage due to major defects.This is not only bad for the health of pregnant women, but also creates a burden because of some people's beliefs.Now the equipment of Gene and Genetic Medicine Technology Company can screen and diagnose fetuses while they are still in the embryonic stage. If there are really major genetic diseases, parents can also make choices as early as possible.Some gynecologists and pediatricians expressed cautious optimism about the role of this technology in prenatal and postnatal care.

The Chief Physician of Pediatrics at the New York University School of Medicine Affiliated Hospital said in an interview, "It is true that some parents have to choose to terminate the pregnancy because of the application of this technology. But I don't think this is the reason for the technology, after all. , this is the decision of the parents themselves. Technology only tells you some good news and some bad news, and you have to choose the one that is most beneficial to you and your child. For some children with disabilities, parents can Choose to be born, after all, modern medicine can also guarantee the survival of these children. However, the quality of life is not something we can guarantee. From my personal point of view, people must not only live, but also have a dignified status. That is to say, medicine must Try to protect the quality of life of patients as much as possible, not just let them live. However, there is a paradox during this period. After all, it is the parents who make the decision, not the child. Of course, we have no way to refer to the child's opinion. So I know that between ethics and law, both doctors and parents must face the torture of conscience."

"Dr. Davis, I hope you have a good time in Hope Island. I know that the living environment of Hope Island is temporarily not comparable to the original research institute, but please believe me, I will improve your living environment as soon as possible. In addition, I I have another piece of good news to tell you, after public opinion began to pay attention to my new company, everyone has no interest in chasing after you.” Li Wei contacted the New Exploration Future Medical Research Institute through a secure satellite phone, The Institute is located on Hope Island in the Pacific Ocean.Almost no one knows about this island, and at the same time, it has been pruned by Li Wei into a paramilitary fortress.

"In fact, rather than improving our living environment, I hope you can prepare the equipment and materials we need as soon as possible." Dr. Davis is obviously not the kind of person who values ​​enjoyment, "You know, my research institute There are scientific research lunatics here, all we want are the top research equipment and the top research materials, and other things as long as they can meet our basic needs. By the way, I have a very good news for you, We have successfully fused the DNA of two male apes, and this DNA also has the property of self-replication. It can be said that we have taken a big step towards our goal! Next we will try in mammals Conduct breeding experiments, this will be our key to the realm of God."

After listening to Davis' report, Li Wei hung up the phone with a smile.He looked at the Labrador lying beside him boredly, rubbed its head with a smile, and asked, "Wangcai, do you want to go out for a run with Dad?"

As soon as he heard that he was going to go out, the Labrador immediately stood up with an excited expression on his face.After all, Labradors were once bred as hunting dogs, and they prefer to run outdoors rather than indoors.It's just that Wangcai has always been taken care of by Li Wei, while Laifu, who is taken care of by Zhou Xiao, is walking on the beach with Laifu.After Li Wei tied Wangcai's leash, he left the Emerald Palace one after the other.There is a large green area behind the Emerald Palace. In addition to tennis courts, basketball courts, swimming pools and miniature golf courses, there are naturally many open spaces suitable for making money and having fun.Li Wei found Wangcai's favorite frisbee, and played a game of catching the frisbee with it.Because Wangcai took part in the skill training courses of Sweet Pet Home every once in a while when he was a child, Wangcai is not only highly obedient, but also very good at playing the frisbee game.According to Wangcai's trainer, if Wangcai goes to the North American Dog Frisbee Skills Championship, he can basically get the top three.It's a pity that Li Wei has no interest in this limelight, and only a few people in the world know Wangcai's outstanding talent.
