Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technology-more commonly known as test-tube (试管) baby technology-passed away on Apri
20、l 10, 2013 at the age of 87. Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child, said Peter Braude, a professor at Kings College London. He leaves the world a much better place. Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he h
21、ad just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time, much of the public viewed test-tube babies as scary, according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US.

22、of their fellow scientists. People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature, Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt quite alone at the time. But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing, said Sauer. Without support from the government, the tw

Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (拥向) to Edwards clinic. Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other test-tube children exist.
25、 Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth n the following year. Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise.

29、s. I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way. Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: “I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us a
30、nd not be super intelligentThat should be positive if we manage well.

After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, mach
31、ines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. Theres a terrible thought! Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some weve seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. Thats what philosopher Nick Bost
32、rom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent (漠然) to humans and in pursuit of their own goals，the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible mi
33、ght look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Because it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you.
