He Qing and Lin Ming are such a couple. They met on campus. They were pure and beautiful. They spent time in college, then worked for a few years, and finally decided to get married.
However, during the pre-marital examination, it was discovered that the child born between the two of them has a higher probability of suffering from thalassemia, and it is still a serious condition.
Such news instantly shattered the spiritual world of the two people. After so many years of love, how could they not even have a child? The two refused to give up and went to the hospital for examinations. In the end, the results they obtained were similar.
Lin Ming comforted his wife He Qing: "Otherwise, don't give birth. It's okay not to have children. Isn't it okay to have you in this life?"
"No! It would be a pity if I don't give you a child!"
“Isn’t it okay to just adopt?”
"That's not ours!"
Lin Ming couldn't comfort He Qing. He could be a DINK. Anyway, DINK is very common now. But He Qing deeply regretted it. She wanted to have a child. At least she had someone to keep company with Lin Ming if she accidentally walked ahead one day.
"Don't be so stubborn. There are a lot of things to do after you give birth to a child. You see, education, raising, spending time and effort, you will be very hard. Besides, my family has no one to inherit the throne, so I don't have to raise one." Lin
Ming could only bite the bullet and comfort him.
Karen He said quietly: "Are you planning to have sex with another woman outside?"
"Um? Where did you say that? I am responsible for the child and you. If the child has a problem, you must not keep it, and your body will be damaged. If the problem is discovered after birth, the child will suffer for the rest of his life!"
Women are sometimes unreasonable.
He Qing stopped talking, but she still did not give up the idea of having a child, and Lin Ming could only continue to search for relevant information and find ways. From the bottom of his heart, Lin Ming also wanted a child, but he just acted like
He doesn't care, so that his wife won't be so sad. He would rather his wife scold him than be sad about his children.
When the two of them go out for a walk and see other people playing with their children, they always cast envious glances, thinking that it would be great if they had children. The couple's mobile phones will scroll through videos, and they can't bear to see the videos of their children.
Stay and watch more. Over time, big data determined that the couple likes children, so they increased the number of videos of the same type.
If they meet colleagues with children on the road, they will always stop and tease the children. He Qing basically has no resistance to those soft children who exude the fragrance of milk. He must use his hands gently every time
He squeezed the child's hand gently and refused to let go.
Since they love children so much, they have not stopped looking for hospitals at all. During the recent May Day holiday, they traveled to a big city and stopped by a well-known hospital there.
But the conclusion was still the same, which made He Qing very desperate. She asked unwillingly: "Isn't there genetic technology? Why can't the genetic bin gene be removed at the fertilized egg stage?"
The doctor understood her mood and said speechlessly: "The genes of the human body are so small, how can such tools be used to operate them? Besides, the current methods can only affect genes through external forces, but this influence is uncontrollable.
Even most of them are malignant changes. What you are talking about is the stuff of science fiction movies. If we remove those bad genetic disease genes, who will fill in the vacant genes? Is it possible for children to be born with fewer genes than others?
Gene? So can this life still survive?"
Lin Ming hugged He Qing and felt very uncomfortable, but he still subconsciously asked: "Is it really true that no laboratory is doing such experiments? We can go and ask."
The doctor shook his head: "The hospital you are in is affiliated with a well-known medical university in the country. There is nothing we can do here, and there shouldn't be much other places can do either.
This technology is too advanced. Even if there is research in laboratories around the world, it is only on animals. For example, Changtian Technology can only make customized pets at present. And the fertility project they launched in South Korea is also screened in advance.
It’s done after people have recovered. I’ve never heard of directly deleting or changing people’s genes.”
He Qing and Lin Ming sighed deeply. Why didn't they know about this? Since Changtian Technology couldn't do it, other places shouldn't be able to do it either.
After leaving the hospital, the young couple were no longer in the mood to travel and just walked casually on the streets, as if they had no direction in their lives.
One day not long after that, He Qing suddenly heard her colleagues discussing, with words such as "children" and "genes" in their words, and she was instantly attracted.
"What did you just say?" He Qing walked over.
Her colleagues looked at her with confused expressions, making her a little confused.
"We thought you knew everything."
"what do you know?"
My colleague told me about Changtian Technology’s announcement and kindly suggested: “I heard that there are already a lot of volunteers signing up. I don’t know when the registration time will end…”
He Qing immediately contacted Lin Ming and asked him to look at the official website.
When the announcement from Changtian Technology popped up, Lin Ming couldn't believe his eyes. The next second, his wife spoke in a hurry: "Did you see it? Did you see it?"
"Yeah! I saw it! I saw it!"
“Let’s sign up quickly!”
"I've already signed up, what about you?"
"I'm applying too! Let's apply separately, so we have a better chance!"
"I think so too!"
The two of them had such a tacit understanding. If God wasn't joking, they really should have a child. After signing up, the couple looked at the registration interface from time to time.
The number of applicants on the page is rising rapidly, and the couple is very confused. Every time there is one more person, there are fewer opportunities. Now that it has exceeded two million, how many people will there be in the end?
Changtian Technology watched the number of applicants continue to rise, and felt relieved in his heart. This incident was too shocking, and what he was most afraid of was that no one would participate. Now that the number of people is so astonishing, then the truth is established.
.Even the relevant authorities will not stop this project because so many people are in need of help.
There are about six to seven million couples across the country who have had similar experiences, and there may even be more. They have signed up enthusiastically and talked about their experiences online, arousing everyone's sympathy.
It turns out that there are so many people struggling in corners that ordinary people can't see. I thought that having children is a very common thing, but there are so many people who can't do it.
The main reason is because of genetic defects.
"My husband has ankylosing spondylitis, which is said to be passed on to children. No one in his family will live past the age of forty."
"The thalassemia gene makes us afraid to have children."
"I may have hereditary congenital arrhythmia, or congenital heart disease. Alas, we are almost forty, let's try our best, otherwise we will have no chance."
"Cleft lip! It's so cruel. The child will have to see a doctor for the rest of his life. Not everyone can afford to take care of the child for the rest of his life."
During this period, the Xia people learned many cruel names of genetic diseases, including phenylketonuria, progressive muscular dystrophy, syringomyelia, hereditary nephritis, and vitamin D-resistant rickets.
Behind these cruel genetic diseases are countless broken families, and countless regrets that they want to have children but cannot.
Some people have fertility problems, and these people also participated in the registration, expecting Changtian Technology to have a solution. This idea is also unexpected, and even Changtian Technology feels that it is not thoughtful enough. But so
As a result, the upper limit of the number of applicants becomes even greater! According to statistics, about 10% to 15% of young people have fertility problems, which is terrible when calculated.
There was also a special discussion within Changtian Technology.
"Fertility problems are not genetic diseases. Whose family's infertility is inherited from their ancestors? Let's exclude them. What we want to solve this time is the issue of genetic disease genes."
"But there are a lot of these people. We can't just ignore them, otherwise we won't be able to explain them."
"It is true. We are all begging for help and we cannot ignore it. The number of this group of people is much larger than the number of people with genetic diseases. If it is not handled well, it can easily cause social problems."
"So how do you plan to deal with infertility? It seems that we have not discussed this issue specifically."
"Just because Xia Kingdom has a large population, I subconsciously omitted it..."
"In the past, many people didn't want to have children. Now that conditions in Xia Country have improved, they thought about having children, only to find that they couldn't do it."
After a round of discussion, the critical care center decided to open a new section for simultaneous research and screen people of this type into this section to avoid delaying the main topic of scientific research.
As soon as the news came out, those who were suffering from infertility also expressed their understanding. After all, what they wanted to solve this time was a genetic disease, and it was really unreasonable to come here to mess with it on their own.
The number of registrations is still increasing, and some people even immigrated to Xia from other countries and became nationals of Xia in order to solve the problem of having children. Those Westerners are also very fond of children, but due to various reasons, Westerners
Human fertility is even lower than that of yellow and black people. In addition, the number of white people is relatively small, and there is a custom of wheeling wheels in our ancestors, so the problem of genetic diseases is very serious.
This time Changtian Technology wants to solve the problem of raising children with genetic diseases, and these Westerners can't sit still.
In order to increase their chances of being selected, many people use incredible methods.
Some people said on the Internet that if they were elected, they would worship Chen Xiao in the Chen Xiaoli Shrine at home. Some people said that they would donate a certain amount to save their moral character. Some people even started to take to the streets to do good deeds, but the streets
Where do all these good things come from?
Forced into desperation, they once again flocked to places with statues of gods. Taoist temples and temples became prosperous again, especially in front of the god who was in charge of fertility.
With so many people's great ambitions, these gods are probably under a lot of pressure.
It was not enough to find the gods of the Xia Kingdom. We also had to search for the gods in charge of fertility all over the world. Gods from the Asan Kingdom, Greece, ancient Roman legends, Northern Europe, and Indians were all ignored. This actually triggered a wave of
With the craze for making small statues of gods, Xia Guo's mission made a lot of money.
Some gods are so abstract that they can only look for images of gods that have been designed on the Internet, and it doesn’t matter whether they look like them or not, as long as they have the right name. Who says those manufactured images of gods are correct? They are just imaginary.
Bar!
This grand occasion made people in the monastery and temple angry, because these people went too far and even brought other statues of gods into their own premises.
When I caught the person and questioned him, the reason given was to let other gods enjoy the incense, which would be more effective.
"Is this a method that carbon-based creatures can come up with? These gods don't even have a dojo, and you dare to believe it? If you firmly believe it, why do you bring it here?"
"I'm sorry, Taoist Priest. I really want a child, but I have a genetic disease. This is to give myself peace of mind."
The Taoist priest was speechless. How could he say such a thing? In the end, the Taoist priest pretended not to know anything. If it was for other reasons, he would reprimand him unceremoniously. For this reason, he really couldn't scold him.
In this way, amidst everyone's expectations, Changtian Technology started a public lottery, with only twenty pairs available.
He Qing and Lin Ming watched the lottery ceremony without daring to blink. As each code name was announced, He Qing and Lin Ming's hearts twitched. They checked repeatedly to see that it was not their own.
When the seventeen places were announced, the couple was already in despair.
But when they reached the 18th spot, they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Did you get hit?"
"Seems to be!"
"Check again!"
The couple checked the nine-digit number more than 20 times, and it took them two to three minutes to finally confirm it.
The two cried with joy, hugged each other and cheered.
"I hit it! I hit it!"
"Great! Great!"
Lin Ming still kept a little calm: "Check your phone and email to see if there are any notifications!"
"Yeah!"
At this time, the lottery ceremony was completely over, the verification information was sent instantly, and the couple's mobile phones rang at the same time. After reading through it at the same time, they were completely relieved and cried. They had been waiting for this day for too long.
The vast majority of people who were not selected felt disappointed, but they also had hope. They kept asking Changtian Technology to quickly provide more places to help them.
The couple went to the nearest Changtian Science and Technology Critical Care Center to take samples, and laughed and laughed all the way. But when it came to the stage of taking samples, they were both uneasy. They both felt that this was just an experiment, and it was hard to say whether it would be possible or not. Changing genes is really science fiction.
If the plot in the movie were to actually happen, everyone would feel like it was a dream.
"Congratulations to both of you. Please pull up your sleeves and relax, it will hurt a little." After Lin Ming and He Qing verified their identities, they sat down to draw blood.
After taking it, the nurse said: "You can go back." ()
