Synopsis

# COZY # OMNIPOTENT # CHIEFASSISTANT In her past life, Mo Ruyue was a top-notch assassin. She was as indifferent as an abyss, and had killed more people than she had fingers to count. In her new life, she became the vicious stepmother of five munchkins in a remote mountain valley, and they were terrified of her. In this life, she decided to change the way she lived. She only had four bare walls for a house? Her children starved to the point they were just skin and bones? No problem. She could kill wild boars with her bare hands, so food wasn’t an issue. She was also proficient in multiplication tables, and her kids instantly became big fans of hers. It had been a difficult journey to change from a vicious stepmother to a warm one. Then, her supposedly dead husband suddenly returned, now the first minister of the dynasty.“Let’s divorce. Give me the children, and I’ll return the money to you.” “I don’t lack anything, just you and the children.”

Is 'designer babies' only a concept in science fiction?

Yes. Currently, 'designer babies' is mostly a concept within science fiction. While we have some genetic technologies, the idea of fully custom - designing a baby like in science fiction is far from reality due to ethical, legal, and scientific limitations.
What are the ethical implications of designer babies in science fiction?

The ethical implications are complex. Firstly, there's the question of consent. The baby doesn't have a say in what traits are chosen for them. It's like they are being pre - programmed without their own choice. In science fiction, we often see scenarios where designer babies are created for specific purposes, like being soldiers or super - intelligent workers. This commodifies human life, treating babies as products rather than individuals. Also, it can lead to a widening gap between the rich and the poor. The wealthy might be able to afford to design their perfect babies with all the best traits, while the poor are left with 'natural' and perhaps less 'advantageous' genetics.
How are designer babies portrayed in different science fiction works?

In some science fiction, designer babies are shown as a solution to problems. For example, in a post - apocalyptic world, they might be designed to have immunity to certain diseases. However, in other works, they are depicted as a threat. They could grow up to be uncontrollable super - humans. Sometimes, they are used as a tool for the rich to maintain their power by creating a genetically superior class.
What are the similarities between 'designer babies' in science fiction and the current state of genetic research?

One similarity is the focus on genes. In science fiction, 'designer babies' are created by manipulating genes, and in current genetic research, we are constantly studying genes to understand genetic diseases. For example, we can now test for certain genetic mutations in embryos, which is a step towards the science - fiction idea of 'designer babies', but on a much more limited scale.
What are some good 'designer babies' fiction books?

Another could be 'Never Let Me Go' by Kazuo Ishiguro. Although not directly about creating 'designer babies' in the modern sense, it deals with the idea of humans being created for a particular purpose. The clones in the book are brought up in a way that their fates are somewhat pre - determined, much like the concept of designer babies in a more abstract way.

Master, please teach me again.

After transmigrating to the world of immortal cultivation, Lin Xiu entered the Green Cloud Dao Sect, the leader of the five great immortal sects. He thought that he would open the path of immortal cultivation, but he fell into deep thought as he looked at the entrance examination. " The first question: If you cause trouble outside, it might affect the sect's reputation. How would you sever your relationship with the sect and shift the blame to the other four immortal sects?" " Second question: If the disciples of the other four immortal sects killed the demonic path and obtained extremely high prestige, how could they make others mistake them as disciples of the Green Cloud Dao Sect and attribute all the prestige to the sect?" " Third question: If you were a spy sent by a sect to the other four immortal sects, and you went to secretly learn peerless martial arts but were discovered, how would you safely bring the martial arts back?" "The above are all ifs. Please answer boldly." One day, in the world of the Nine Prefectures, resentful cultivators gathered at the Green Cloud Daoist Sect's mountain gate and asked them to hand over the spy who had secretly learned.
