Chapter 207: Shanghai Fantasy
In fact, the issue of clones was discussed by humanity many years ago. Currently, there are many institutions worldwide with strong technical foundations in cloning technology.
With the technology humans possess today, it is already possible to clone various animals, and similarly, humans can be cloned. However, human clones have significant physiological and psychological defects. If this technology becomes widespread and mature, after decades or even hundreds of years of development, it will be worth considering whether Earth will be governed by humans born through natural reproduction or by clones. This is a question that requires careful thought.
Because of this, cloning technology is strictly controlled by government agencies worldwide, and clones have always been a taboo topic.
With Wu Hao’s current capabilities, his Qinling main base already has this capability. He established a gene laboratory a long time ago, and cloning technology is essentially a form of genetic science.
“Complete clone soldiers are out of the question. After all, clones are still within the human category. They will also age, get sick, and die, and there are too many issues related to this.” When Wu Hao heard the suggestion from the intelligent brain, he rejected it almost immediately. Clones indeed involve the legitimate continuation of humanity, and if he were to start producing clones in large numbers, it would undoubtedly open a Pandora’s box, which would have a significant impact on humanity in the future.
“However, Zero, although cloning is not feasible, we could create a type of semi-clone robot. For example, a robot with a cloned body structure except for the brain!” What Wu Hao referred to as a semi-clone robot should actually be called a bio-robot.
This is because, except for the brain, which is replaced by a chip rather than a completely uncontrollable human brain, the body’s functions and other aspects are not significantly different from those of humans.
“BOSS, the plan you proposed is indeed feasible and is a good solution, but I must remind you that with the technology we currently have, we cannot achieve this. It would require setting up a new research program to accomplish it.”
