【Five: Medical testing】
【Start popularizing science: 3. Genetic screening】
【Genetic screening is suitable for detecting individuals or couples whose offspring have an increased risk of genetic diseases, or for prenatal screening using simple, feasible, and non-invasive testing methods for high incidence, genetic diseases, and congenital malformations.】
【This method can predict the probability of offspring suffering from various genetic diseases by testing the DNA of both parents.】
【So as to give the most reasonable opinions】
【If a newborn has a certain genetic disease, genetic screening can be used to eliminate the risk】
【Genetic screening refers to a new technology that uses genetic technology to conduct genetic testing on unborn babies or newborn babies to achieve the best results to ensure that they will not suffer from major genetic diseases.】
【Successful examples:】
【Penny Queen belongs to a group with a high risk of breast cancer. Her grandmother died of breast cancer at the age of 34. Her mother is also a breast cancer patient and suffered multiple recurrences after surgery.】
【According to genetic testing, the Kui people also carry mutated genes for hereditary breast cancer.】
【If Queen gives birth to a daughter, the child will have an 80% chance of developing breast cancer in the future%】
【In order for the baby to grow up healthily, Kui en chose in vitro fertilization technology that can artificially intervene on the embryo.】
【First, the doctor used genetic diagnosis technology to test the cancer gene on the embryos conceived by the Quinn couple through in vitro fertilization, and then implanted the embryos that were not affected by the genetic mutation into Quinn's uterus.】
【Her son Austin was the result of her first attempt at genetic screening.】
【Austin's health and happiness allowed her to use the same method to conceive again, and she gave birth to another pair of healthy twins.】
【Likewise, this method can eliminate other genetic diseases】
【But screening embryos involves ethical issues】
【Since the fundamental breakthrough of the human genome map in the new and old millenniums, the prospects for genetic diagnosis and gene therapy have been very attractive by scientists.】
【Some people have even proposed the idea of carrying out genetic screening among the general population, believing that this can obtain brand-new life information, reveal the mysteries of diseases, elucidate the golden key to the nature of human evolution, racial ancestry, aging and other life phenomena, and provide a basis for transformation and Laying a good foundation for improving the quality of human populations】
【But there are also many people who have raised sharp objections to this】
【It is believed that this approach is ethically contrary to human rights and freedoms, and lacks reliable biological basis. This approach itself has great potential dangers.】
【First, everyone’s genetic information should be regarded as their own privacy, and genetic screening is tantamount to making this private information public, which brings a lot of inconvenience to the parties involved.】
【For example, when a person's genetic information about a major disease is exposed, he will encounter neglect and discrimination whether he is seeking a spouse, employment, or insurance.】
【Doesn't this deprive him of his normal right to exist?】
【Second, should the genetic defects screened out be corrected, or should those with severe genetic defects be forced to not have children?】
【This is a practical issue facing genetic screening results.】
【If it is not corrected and is allowed to develop naturally, then what is the point of genetic screening?】
【If restrictions and corrections are imposed, how is this approach different from fascist ethnic cleansing?】
【Third, from the perspective of ethical standards, abortion is allowed if serious problems are found during genetic screening of the fetus. However, if there are errors in genetic testing due to equipment, technology or human negligence, causing normal fetuses to be aborted, this Who should be responsible for the losses?】
【Fourth, genetic screening results will bring considerable psychological pressure to the parties and affect their quality of life.】
【In terms of people's natural rights to life, as long as they are human, they have the right to live in this world. There should be no distinction between high and low, and there should be no discrimination based on physical health problems.】
【What's more, the world is rich and colorful, and biological genes are diverse. Even disease genes can only be selected through the process of natural elimination and natural selection.】
【It is too early to determine the survival rights of genes based solely on people’s ideas and knowledge levels!】
【Therefore, at least in the short term, genetic screening is neither practical nor necessary】
【We cannot violate the basic humanitarian spirit by pursuing scientific and technological progress one-sidedly, and we should not arbitrarily deprive a person of his basic human rights and freedom of life under the banner of genetic correction.】

? ? ?
I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all.
The ancient people were collectively dumbfounded.
What the hell is this?
After discussing for a long time, they finally had a general understanding in their minds.
This time, their jaws almost dropped!
"Before the child is born, he knows all the diseases he has!! ?"
"I still don’t quite understand. Did he cure the disease of an unborn child in his mother’s womb?"
"It seems like this. How is it possible? Can doctors still treat children in the mother's womb?"
"The light curtain isn't fooling us, is it?"
"This and that are medical skills, they are clearly immortal skills!!"
"......"
Qin Dynasty.
Anyone who has studied medicine will feel that their soul has been greatly impacted!
To treat a child in the mother's womb? ?
I’m afraid it doesn’t take a god to come down to earth to do this!
But the medical skills of later generations actually did it!
What makes them most unbelievable is that future generations have such magic, but they are not willing to use it!!
What are they saying that violates ethics and the natural right to life?......
Isn’t medical skill just for treating illnesses and saving lives?
No matter what you don't understand or what you don't understand.
They were shocked and helpless. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng was completely stunned.
Being able to predict the probability of an unborn child getting sick in advance is outrageous enough.
The key is to be able to heal!
It may even be possible to elucidate the principles of disease and the secrets of human aging....
Ying Zheng shouted excitedly:"The secret of immortality lies in it!"
Han Dynasty.
Liu Che couldn't control his emotions.
Laughing up to the sky almost excitedly
"I understand that if you crack the secret of genes, you can live forever."
He didn't expect that he could still get the information about immortality in his lifetime.
But he couldn't figure out why he should ban it if he had mastered this kind of technology.
Liu Che was angry and resentful. He shouted anxiously:"If you don't study it, I will do it myself...."[]
After saying that, he was embarrassed
"What are genes?"
"How to research?"
Two questions forced the termination of his immortality plan.
Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin read it several times.
He couldn't help but sigh:"Why should this technique be banned?"
"If all the mysteries are discovered, the children born will not suffer from any diseases and will live longer."
Of course.
He also hopes to live forever through this. This is the closest he will get to immortality!
Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao doubtfully:"Biao'er, does it say that future generations will cure the fetus' disease? Already?"
After he saw it, he couldn't believe it at all.
He even suspected that he was dazzled.
Zhu Biao opened his mouth wide. He just recovered from the shock and nodded in response:"Yes, Father, that's what it said above. He cured cancer."
"It's really amazing. Zhu Yuanzhang was completely convinced now.
He sighed:"If we use this kind of genetic screening technology, none of the descendants of our Ming Dynasty will get sick, let alone die in infancy.""
Another dynasty.
Zhu Di finally understood the huge gap between the Ming Dynasty and the modern society of later generations.
He murmured:"The genetic technology mentioned is not also Western medical technology. I have seen foreigners in the West. What do they know? medical skills"
"What happened?"
He couldn't believe that Chinese medicine has been developed for thousands of years.
It can be overtaken by foreigners who have no medical skills in the West.
