However, once the longevity plan is implemented, the divorce rate in human society will soar, the marriage rate will plummet, and the increase in the fertility rate brought about by the artificial womb will be greatly offset.

Anyway, the ethical approval of artificial womb technology will be approved in the near future.
After the technology is mature, the first batch of infertile couples will enjoy this technology bonus first.
Of course, these parents also need to pay some risks. The success rate of the first batch of more than 100 children was about 70%, and the rest died unexpectedly due to various reasons.
Fortunately, no major accidents such as cerebral palsy have occurred, and the genetic disease of the fetus can also be detected and screened in time.
Professor Tang took a deep breath and looked at Professor Mary again: “The success rate of the first scheme will continue to increase with the accumulation of experience, and eventually rise to more than 99%. It is not an essential difficulty. .”
“But we currently have a second view, extending the time the fetus grows in the artificial womb to 21 months.”
“You mean…to give birth after 21 months of pregnancy?!” Zhang Ran’s heart was beating fast, okay, I have to shoulder the responsibility of challenging ethics again, right?
Technological progress is always a double-edged sword…
Tang Ze nodded and said with a slight smile, “We humans are actually quite a strange race.” Remember the website m.xbequge. com
“The average brain volume of Homo sapiens babies is 1350 ml, and the gestation period is theoretically 21 months. However, the size of the human pelvic opening determines that the maximum fetal brain volume cannot exceed 385 ml, otherwise the mortality rate will be significantly increased.”
“That is to say, because the head of the human fetus is too large, if a fetus is born at 21 months of pregnancy, it will not be able to be born, resulting in the death of both mother and child. Obviously, this will lead to the extinction of human beings.”
“That’s why the genes stipulate that you can only be born after 10 months of pregnancy. Now human babies are all premature babies.”
“But if we use artificial womb technology, we can find a way to make the fetus full term, which is 21 months, and grow to about 20 pounds. This kind of child can crawl after birth, and walk upright after one month of birth. Words, the stomach is fully mature, can eat some complementary foods, has excellent immunity, and is not easy to get sick.”
“Huh?!” Zhang Ran was shocked. A 20-pound baby can walk and eat solid food directly after birth… This…
He imagined for a long time that the newly born 20-pound giant baby could crawl on the ground at high speed and call him Mom and Dad, and he had a very strange feeling.
Even he himself, who prided himself on being very open and very accepting of advanced ideas, was a little unable to accept such abrupt changes.
The female professor Mary standing by the side bowed slightly, and then pulled a male worker in a white coat, which is her husband, and said with a smile: “His Royal Highness, although it sounds strange, what we are talking about is Fact. In nature, the fetuses of mammals such as tigers, elephants, cows, horses, and sheep can stand up as soon as they are born, which is in line with the laws of nature.”
“Frail juveniles like human babies are actually very rare, almost only human beings. 21 months of pregnancy is in line with science and in line with nature.”
“But now, through the artificial womb, we can completely make up for the congenital deficiency and make the fetus full term!”
“In addition, systematic early education and prenatal education may improve the average intelligence of the entire race… Maybe, it’s just speculation.”
“Our robot can imitate the voices of fathers and mothers, and can play music. The effect of early education is obviously much better than that of ordinary families.”
“My husband and I are both willing to try this method of reproduction… Even if there are problems in the middle, we will nurture our children carefully. So I hope the technology ethics department can approve this application.”
“Ethical issues, I don’t care if I say it, it needs to be voted by the ethics committee… After all, I’m not a professional scientist.”
Zhang Ran did not immediately agree, nor did he immediately reject it. Is it possible to raise your IQ a little bit?
Even 5 percentage points, 10 percentage points, is still good…
“But why do human babies do this? Don’t you think it’s a little strange? The Sibalians and Green Stars don’t have such bizarre physiological phenomena, right?”
“It’s a little strange indeed, the human brain is still going through huge changes at the age of 18, the 20s are not very good at dealing with psychological stress, and are easily affected by mental disorders, and these problems will gradually be solved by the age of 30, but some People are earlier, some people are later. In other words, humans don’t fully mature until they are about 30 years old.”
“In short, 21 months in an artificial womb is indeed scientifically supported.”
When he walked out of the new human laboratory, he was in a trance, a little confused about the pros and cons of this plan.
Are the challenges facing human society in the future, especially ethical challenges, too great?
…
Zhang Ran felt that he was currently dealing with a mess.
But this is the huge change brought about by the development of technology!
The silicon cosmos environment in which the Oriental Rock is located is so-so that humans can still accept it. Anyway, no trace of the enemy has been found so far.
What really makes the top government scratch their heads is the new biological technology in the new era. The longevity technology is about to succeed. It is expected that everyone can live to 300 years old, and the follow-up shaping warehouse can also make people live longer. The first phase experiment of artificial womb technology has also ended, which is widely praised by infertility patients…
What else is the 21-month human fetal growth plan…
Everyone who sees this plan immediately thinks, “What is this?” !
Does a 21-month-old human fetus violate the laws of nature?
There are also many differences within the government. Once the decision is not good, it will inevitably bring about internal chaos.
But a decision must be made as soon as possible. After all, these two technologies represent the future potential of mankind.
Longevity technology is time-limited, and the older the person, the worse the effect of prolonging life. The entropy increase of the human body is irreversible, and the D factor only slows down the entropy increase.
The life extension effect is the best in the period of 20-30 years old, and it will gradually deteriorate after that.
So while everyone is still young, using this technology early can allow more people to live longer, which is also a very realistic problem.
As for the 21-month human fetal growth plan, which affects the birth rate and population quality of the next generation, a decision must also be made as soon as possible.
“Anyway, we must discuss the results within half a year. What kind of excessive policies are introduced and corresponding laws are formulated. We must usher in the transformation of human civilization! As long as the degree of confusion is limited, it is acceptable.”
“It’s impossible to be completely free from chaos. If you want to build a powerful civilization, how can there be no pain period? It’s not possible, just like the Green Star civilization learning, learning some of their systems, they are also long-lived species…”
In the end, these experts could only hold their noses and rack their brains to think about policies.
The bad thing is that human technology is developing too fast. Originally, these things may take hundreds of years, and the gradual transformation of more than ten generations, but now a generation is about to force the transformation, and the impact on human society is extraordinarily large. big.
But who can deny a longer lifespan? Who can refuse the need for women’s reproductive pain, technology that finally liberates women’s reproductive pain?
This is science, science changes everything!
Since the first industrial revolution in the nineteenth century, with the beginning of the big bang of science, in Isaac Newton’s work, mankind has seen the world clearly from ancient ignorance for the first time, or at least through a narrow The window sees the world clearly and sees the infinite possibilities of the future.
Because of this, Isaac Newton will always be the first person in the history of science.
Einstein, who is famous and established the system of relativity, can only sit in the second place.
And science is the ladder and tool leading to this infinite possible surname!
…
Just like that, after meeting after meeting, Zhang Ran yawned and returned to the captain’s room of the Oriental Rock to review the recent construction report. The repair work of the curvature device is quite smooth, and it is expected to be completed in another two months.
With the previous experience, scientists have tried to modify some unreasonable structures, and the stability of the next space turbulence will be higher.
Next, I was a little sleepy, so I just lay on the jelly and took a nap.
Now, the internal affairs of human beings can be done to the best of their ability. As for the changes in internal thoughts and ethical challenges, Zhang Ran no longer wants to take care of them.
Anyway, no matter what, it is impossible for human beings to become extinct due to internal reasons. He has enough confidence in this.
Jelly was as docile as always, her skin was elastic, and she let Zhang Ran lie on her body motionless. Its IQ always stays in the time period of the child’s six or seven years old. It can learn simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and it is impossible to learn the difficult mathematics.
However, at this moment, Jelly suddenly had a deep feeling, and its entire body vibrated violently, like a roller coaster, awakening Zhang Ran on his body.
“What’s the matter, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com doesn’t let people take a nap today? If you want to eat, you have to wait for me to wake up.” Zhang Ran was sleepy.
“Boom, boom, boom!” Jelly can’t speak, but it can make sounds through the friction between its tentacles, which sounds a bit like drumming.
“What did you say…something is approaching?” Zhang Ran woke up from his sleep.
At the same time, the gravitational wave telescope at the Eastern Rock observatory discovered a very strange gravitational structure – it is not like a massive star, which emits a steady stream of gravity, but a weak antigravity.
Such gravitational structures can only be observed by gravitational wave telescopes when they are very close. Humans are not unfamiliar with this, because it is a small universe.
A small universe floated out of the high-dimensional world!
