American media reports that the Harvard Stem Cell Institute plans  to edit human sperm cells on December 7. They intend to foster test-tube babies who are less likely to get Alzheimer's disease by editing ApoE gene in cells. It's only ten days after the world's first genetically edited baby’s birth. As   Hu Jiaqi , famous anthropologist said: pandora's box has opened.   We have reasons to believe there will be  more human gene editing projects in the future (Jiaqi Hu). Hu Jiaqi, famous anthropologist: potential crisis of gene editing Jiaqi Hu, famous anthropologist once made an explanation of gene editing in his book Saving Humanity :  “ The so-called gene reconstruction technology is using  enzymes to cut, paste and repair genes in DNA. In this way, we can create creatures that meet our own requirements.   This technology has been used widely. Scientists can turn white cotton into red, yellow and brown. They can cultivate seedless watermelon ...

Recently, gene editing has been a hot topic. After "the world's first gene-edited baby was created in China",   there arises another significant event. Japanese media reported that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan has decided to allow the use of "gene editing" technology for fertilized eggs’ research, but only for basic research. At present, Japan still bans the practice of sending edited fertilized egg groups back to woman's womb.   The ban will be lifted as early as April 2019. In this regard, we interviewed the famous anthropologist Hu Jiaqi. Let us have a look at Mr. Hu Jiaqi's views on this matter ( Jiaqi  Hu). Japan has lifted the ban on gene editing of fertilized eggs, Hu Jiaqi, a famous anthropologist called humans to restrict the development of science and technology. Hu Jiaqi, a famous anthropologist said: “Once pandora's box is opened, it can...

Hostess: Mr. Hu Jiaqi is not only an entrepreneur but also a famous anthropologist. Mr. Hu Jiaqi has been working on human problems for nearly forty years. He has achieved far-sighted results in his research and the results are strong warnings. He has not only regarded his research as a career but also as his responsibility as a human. Mr. Hu: We human beings are both a perceptual species and a rational one. They are often more perceptual than rational. A person's life depends on his character and the fate of a species depends on its features. We often make wrong judgments because of the weakness of being greedy, selfish and shortsighted in human nature. Something that we think is right may not be true. Even what we generally believe is right is just wrong. Some mistakes may destroy mankind completely. Soon after I entered the university in 1979, I learned about a relativistic formula E=mc² that is the mass-energy equality of special relativity. According to the formula,...

I.You have been engaged in the study of human problems for nearly 40 years. What makes you persist in and never give up? Answer: I studied in the primary school and middle school in the period of the Great Cultural Revolution of China. Education was neglected in the period and my hometown was in a remote rural area, so I knew very little about science and technology. The environment around me changed after I entered university in 1979. There were a lot of books in the library and many learned teachers. Soon after I entered the university, I learned about a relativistic formula E=mc² that is the mass-energy equality of special relativity. According to the formula, the energy contained in a gram of matter is equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT equivalent. It weights about the same as a peanut kernel. 20,000 tons of TNT is enough to destroy a city. I came to know that the former Soviet Union once exploded a hydrogen bomb whose power was 56 million tons of TNT equivalent. No matter the...

In recent years, the scientific community have been arguing about "gene editing". He Jiankui gene editing infant event was heavily criticized by all sections of the community as it violates the bottom line of human ethics and morality. Now, Japan intends to lift a ban on using human fertilized eggs to study genome editing. Japanese media reported the ban would be released in April 2019. Famous anthropologist Hu Jiaqi gives his own opinions. Now let's get to know Hu Jiaqi’s opinions (Jiaqi Hu) . Hu Jiaqi, famous anthropologist: restricting the development of science and technology is our top priority Famous anthropologist Hu Jiaqi expresses: “When human beings accept all scientific and technological achievements without thinking, they will inevitably show indifference to the negative effects of scientific and technological achievements.” Famous anthropologist Hu Jiaqi’s concerns are are right. The modified human genes will be passed on to the future generation...

The internal threats to humanity all derive from the weaknesses of human nature. As long as these weaknesses do not change, new internal threats will arise endlessly from new environments and new eras. The weaknesses of human nature are inherent characteristics unique to mankind; they cannot change without significant human evolution. Such evolution cannot happen overnight, so when we look to our future, we can expect no fundamental change in these weaknesses (Hu Jiaqi). Jiaqi Hu: SECTION THREE: RE-ANALYZING INTERNAL THREATS One: The Decisive Effect of Science and Technology on Internal Threats The previous chapter discussed the generally recognized internal threats to humanity. The following analysis will show how closely related these internal threats are to science and technology. The relationship between the two may be indirect or direct, depending on the situation, but the decisive role science and technology plays is for certain. 1. The Strengthening Effect of Science ...
