Chapter 215 (1/2)

It is not the social public support system, but its pre plan - to use artificial uterus technology to reproduce human babies in large quantities, so as to achieve a population growth rate of 5% per year. In fact, many people have been informed of this motion and discussed it for some time, but all kinds of disputes are still very big.

Zhang Yuan restrained the crowd and said slowly, ”everyone, according to our population report, how many people were born last year? The exact figure is 1823, with a birth rate of 3.6 per 1000. The birth rate is very low, low to the point of hair! Indeed, our population structure is still very young, and the mortality rate is zero. In addition, the quality of life is not high and the objective environment is poor. Childbearing in a few years later is nothing. ”

”But let's think about what will happen in 50 years?”

”Fifty years later, our average age will rise by 50. All of you here are 80 or even 90. How many young people are there? 100000! ”

”Yes, with a growth rate of 3.6 per thousand, 50 years later, there are only 100000 young people! The total population is only 600000, and the mortality rate is zero. ”

”Fifty years!”

As if there was a sense of crisis, which exploded in many people's hearts.

The current development model must be unsustainable.

”Your Excellency Zhang Yuan, we can adopt the way of encouraging fertility, rather than the radical way of using artificial babies...”

The female congressman immediately stood up and said excitedly, ”its impact on our society is too big... Too big to imagine! Have you considered reality? ”

”Yes, in a few years, the number of artificial babies is more than that of natural people. What's wrong with this?”

”I object!”

The voices of various discussions are getting louder and louder, and the voices of opposition are emerging one after another.

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and suppressed all the voices.

He said loudly, ”seat 145, Mr. Qian Lihua, as an electrical engineer, do you have any discrimination against these babies born from artificial womb? Or do you think they are not normal humans? ”

All eyes brushed together. Mr. Qian turned pale and hurriedly said, ”there is no discrimination.”

”So, if there is no discrimination, the number of artificial babies is more than that of natural people. What's the problem?”

”...” the gentleman's face turned red and white. If he put on the big hat of ”discrimination”, his political career would come to an end. It took him a long time to say, ”is there a problem... I don't know.”

Zhang Yuan asked another woman who had previously wanted to vote against it. Her eyes were like lightning: ”Ms. Zhong of the Ministry of education, if a baby is born without a father or mother, let you carefully raise it. Can you make him neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor impetuous, form an independent and optimistic personality and become a useful person to the society? ”

Ms. Zhong hesitated and said, ”but...”

Zhang Yuan ignored her following ”but” and then asked, ”I asked, can he be neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor impetuous, form an independent and optimistic personality and become a useful person to the society? Yes, or no! ”

”... yes.”

”Do you think this kind of upbringing can be popularized on a large scale? In other words, can a large number of fatherless babies become useful people to society? ”

Ms. Zhong didn't reply.

”Since a person can, a group of people, it should also be possible.”

Zhang Yuan came to a conclusion, then turned around and asked: ”so... Minister Ding of the human resources department, if we adopt the policy of actively encouraging fertility, how much can our natural population birth rate reach?”

The graying head Ding quickly replied, ”the maximum can reach 2% - 3%, but it can't last for a long time, and it will fall sharply in the end. First, according to statistics, a couple has the highest willingness to have one or two children. The number of people who want to have three is very low, and almost none of them have more than four. Therefore, relying on natural growth alone, it is impossible to achieve a birth rate of 5%. Our population is not a backward population, but a high-quality population. ”
