Everything is possible
The development speed of modern science
and technology is really rapid. The emergence of AI's self-awareness,
the rapid progress of outer space exploration, new progress in animal
cloning and transplantation of animal organ into the human body, and the
emergence of ultra-light artificial heart (weighting only 8 grams!),
all these are that humans have once imagined or even daren't imagine.
All
such Developments seemed gradually confirming some of the realms
touched upon in my fiction "Clone Ladies". In the novel, the cloned
heart produced by Boris Company weighs was 10 gram, and all the tasks
performed by the ubiquitous robots in the story have now become a
reality.
Of course, it is currently impossible to clone a person
who has the thoughts, language, personality and memory that are
consistent with the original person. The main issue is of soul. Is
there a soul? If the soul is confirmed, next question was to explain how
the souls of original one and the clone's one can be separated or
combined? There is still a long way to go to get scientific confirmation
of these issues.
When I was 6 years old, an old woman who was my
grandmother's friend in Buddhist community. She 'lent' me to her house
as a guest. It was my first time going to the countryside, and it was a
single hut in a cemetery. She cooked a lot of things that I had never
eaten before, and she didn't let me go home at night. The room was dark,
only had a small hole on the soil wall as a 'window'. The old woman
was terrible
appearance .I daren't see her and daren't sleep ,and bragging with her
all night. The biggest imagination I boasted to her was that; in the
future, no matter how far apart , people will be able to talk to each
other at any time and see each other while talKing . Who can know that a
child’s fantasy 70 years ago would be fully realized by mobile video
calls today.
No one can see the Wi-Fi, but it is there!
Where is
the soul? Perhaps in the future, not too far , it also be confirmed. If
only people live longer and keep healthy and study effort , anything
is possible!
