Hu Jiaqi, the Famous Anthropologist Comments on Gene Editing
Not long ago, Brief Answers to the Big Questions, a collection of famous British physicist Hawking's many articles and papers, was published in the United States. The book explores the profound impact that genetic modification technology may have on humans and predicts the rich people will modify the genes of themselves and their descendants one day, becoming“superhumans”and even exterminate the lower people.“Big questions”also include: Will artificial intelligence be smarter than human? Are there any other intelligent lives in the universe? What happened before the "Big Bang"? What is the biggest threat to the future of the planet? Hu Jiaqi, the famous anthropologist once commented on genetic modification technology.

Hu Jiaqi, the famous anthropologist elaborated on the development of genetic technology in Hu Jiaqi Talk Show︱Hu Jiaqi, a Famous Anthropologist: How is the Technology Devil Released - Start with a Genetically Edited Baby and warned that“science and technology is a double-edged sword”. It can both benefit and destroy human beings.” “The real development of genetic technology began in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and it only takes three to four decades. It has developed to such a high height. What will happen to us in another three or four decades? What will happen in the next seven or eight decades?” “Genetic technology can kill humans, and it doesn’t take a long time to kill people.”
Hawking predicts that humans will find technology to improve intelligence by transforming genes this century. “The law may prohibit genetic modification of humans, but some people may not be able to withstand the temptation to improve human characteristics such as memory, disease resistance, and longevity.” The famous anthropologist also said, “The good legal system and moral values can only limit one hundred people, one thousand people, or even 10,000 people, but it can't guarantee that all people can do things that don’t violate the law, morality and ethics.”

Hu Jiaqi, the famous anthropologist repeatedly emphasized, “Although the existing scientific and technological means of human beings have not yet reached the ability of self-extinction, it is possible to infer from existing scientific theories that this ability can be possessed if we cannot effectively control the irrational development of science and technology, this means will be obtained sooner or later, all that needed is time.” Therefore, while enjoying the benefits brought about by the development of science and technology, we also need to be alert to potential crises. Human beings must limit science and technology, because once the devil is let out from the bottle, it won’t go back again.
