Netflix’s German drama tells us what kind of group biohackers are

Most of us may be relatively unfamiliar with biological hackers. Netflix recently launched the sci-fi thriller German drama "Biohacker" , ​​which unveiled the mystery of this special group.

The so-called Biohacker (Biohacker) is committed to breaking the limitations of traditional laboratories and trying to develop biological science and technology on their own.

Biohackers have a strong desire to explore and dare to break through the limits of the human body to make bold attempts, such as implanting chips in the body, editing and transforming genes... You will never guess that they will Where to start.

However, such a stimulating operation is undoubtedly a repeated trial on the edge of ethics. If you are a little careless or used by someone with a heart, terrible things will happen, and it is hard to imagine the serious consequences.

The story of "Biohacking" revolves around the medical student Mia. There are three main timelines in the play. The first timeline of

happened at the moment. The people on the train fell one after another. In the end, only the hostess Mia was not infected...

Time went back to two weeks ago, that is, she did When freshmen first entered college, this was the second timeline of the show.

It is worth mentioning that the hostess Mia has a very smart and lovely Chinese roommate.

She speaks fluent German, and she is more happy when she laughs on the spot.

As a freshman majoring in biology, Chen Lu mainly focused on genetic modification of plants.

In addition, she also chased all the episodes of the Netflix platform at 1.5 times speed. She is definitely an unsentimental drama chasing machine and time management expert...

Chen Lu drums up the creature For the piano, the male roommate uses his own surgery for subcutaneous implantation.

I have been so vigorous just after entering university, and I fully apply the theoretical knowledge I have learned to daily practice. Recall that when you were in your freshman year, were you still in a state of fishing in a circle?

is also a freshman, why is the gap so big?

The University of Freiburg in the play can be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it seems that many students are hidden biohackers.

Mia’s roommates are still in the stage of a small mess. In contrast, the student assistant of the female professor looks very professional.

He set up a private laboratory by himself, collected a lot of strange things, and also made a green fluorescent mouse.

Mia deliberately struck up a conversation with the student assistant, trying to get close to Professor Lorenz through his relationship.

combined with the third timeline in the play, Mia had some connections with female professor Lorenz when she was a child.

Her brother died of illness, and the attending physician at the time seemed to be Lorenz.

Mia is a medical student who took the introductory biology course given by Professor Lorentz. Her motivation is probably not that simple.

Not only does she want to be an assistant in clinical trials, she may also be brewing bigger plans and ambitions.

Although Professor Lorenz is quite successful in her career, she, like all single women, was also asked about the relationship status:

"Are you married? Or in love? Do you have children?"

This is a question that many single women want to avoid. However, Lorenz didn't feel embarrassed. She calmly responded to questions and demonstrated the style of an independent woman.

The heroine Mia has never been ill since she was a child. This extraordinary immunity is really enviable.

The University of Freiburg uses highly advanced bio-hacking technology. However, when this breakthrough discovery falls into the wrong hands, Mia’s choice may change the fate of mankind. After all, she has her own antibodies, and she has humans who have been pursuing. The perfect gene.

Professor Lorenz said to the students in class: "You are the creator of tomorrow, and we will weed out God." The development of

synthetic biology has turned man into the creator. Can the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death be changed in the future?

Although the starting point is for the future of mankind and medicine, we want to use biotechnology to improve human genes to eliminate diseases, but experimenting on ourselves or on others has a completely different nature:

the former is purely dedicated to technology, the latter It is to let others bear the consequences of death for themselves...

Biohacking certainly promotes technological progress, but it must adhere to the bottom line of human ethics.

A major breakthrough in the field of biotechnology should not be at the expense of safety.
