If not for being left with no choice, Big Brother probably wouldn't have performed compatibility tests on Xiao Huihui and Baozi or used the new-generation Gene Optimization Fluid on them.
Without it, they might suddenly die of old age at any time. With it, there was a very real chance that an accident might happen someday in the future.
How should one choose? If it were her, she would make exactly the same choice as Big Brother.
Living one extra year was already a gain!
Besides, there might not even be any side effects.
Take the cancer cells produced by gene mutation in the human body. In the scientific community, many scholars believed that cancer cells were actually an embodiment of human evolution.
It was only because humans could not withstand the evolutionary process of cancer cells that it resulted in death.
Although Mo Xiaoxue strongly disagreed with this view, she had no evidence or theory with which to refute it.
For a living organism, the longer its lifespan, the larger its body would become. The larger it became, the greater the probability that the cells in its body would turn cancerous.
Elephants were enormous, long-lived mammals. Shouldn't the probability of their cells becoming cancerous—in other words, their likelihood of developing cancer—be much higher than that of humans?
Yet that was not the case. Elephants actually had a 25% lower probability of developing cancer than humans, and the probability of them dying from cancer was only 5%.
According to research by Western scholars, elephants with cancer had a high chance of recovering without treatment.
By rights, an elephant's body should have provided cancer cells with enough opportunities to divide. Yet no one had ever heard of elephants undergoing evolution because of it.
Leaning back in her chair, Mo Xiaoxue rubbed
