However…
Being swayed by Nan Yan’s words was one thing, but genetic research was a prohibited project!
For a moment, they exchanged glances, each person’s expression varying.
Zong Jingi noticed their hesitation and stood up to speak:
“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s each express our opinions. Although genetic research, as mentioned by student Nan Yan, is an internationally prohibited project, we must consider the past Seven Deadly Sins incident.”
“If a single faction dared to conduct blatant human genetic experiments, it’s certain that other countries have conducted even more behind the scenes. However, our country’s strict stance on this issue has prevented us from making any progress, leaving us far behind other nations.”
“Moreover, studying human genetics is not inherently harmful. Many medical applications could arise from it, potentially even helping to cure currently incurable diseases. It’s undoubtedly beneficial!”
“Dean Zong’s words make sense!”
“Actually, in previous news and various reports, it’s not hard to find that foreign countries are indeed conducting genetic research. If other countries can disregard the United Nations’ commands, why must we comply? Pursuing genetic research for the benefit of the nation and the people is quite feasible, in my opinion!”
“That’s right, I agree.”
Among those present, the voices of concurrence grew louder and louder.
It was evident that Nan Yan had convinced them.
However, there were also dissenting opinions.
“Such an important matter cannot be decided so easily based on a few words from a young girl. Each country has its own policies, and ours must have made the decision to prohibit genetic research after thorough deliberation.”
“Currently, all news related to genetic research internationally is considered illegal. Using human bodies for experiments has harmed countless innocent lives. Our country has always prioritized people. It’s better not to violate the United Nations’ ban.”
“Although student Nan Yan’s intentions are good, she is still too young. Since Dean Zong is her mentor, he should consider this more…”
There were quite a few people with opposing views. And because Zong Jinqi took the initiative to speak, he too came under scrutiny.
Nan Yan stood up calmly, her voice steady as she addressed the room. “Thank you for expressing your concerns. I understand that my age may raise doubts about my ability to handle such complex matters, but I assure you that age does not determine competence. As a diligent student and researcher, I have spent years studying and preparing for opportunities like this. While I may be young, I am committed, dedicated, and capable of contributing meaningfully to this discussion..”
