People will become pregnant, give birth and create a new human species on Mars?

If we want to do it in the future, it is necessary to create a new generation of people who can withstand the extremely harsh life on Mars in the future.

Aerospace agencies and private aerospace companies in recent years have constantly announced plans for future conquests of Mars. If we only go there and return, there will be nothing to discuss. But if we settle there, we need to think of a new generation of people.

Mars is not like our Earth, is a planet full of air and drinking water for life to grow. The Earth's atmosphere protects the things inside it from dangerous cosmic radiation that causes DNA changes. For millions of years, organisms on Earth and humans have evolved to suit this living condition.

Like it or not, when humans live long in Mars or elsewhere in the universe, elements from space like cosmic radiation, will change the structure of bones, muscles and body fluids. This will completely change the babies born later.

In order to avoid being passive by elements from the universe, we need to change DNA to create a generation of people with unique characteristics that can withstand the life on Mars in the future.

'A manned exploration mission to Mars and long-term settlement there were ideas in science fiction works, but it is about to come true within the next 20 years. To settle for a long time, it is necessary to produce a new generation of people to adapt to Mars' conditions , a study published in Futures magazine said.

The first generation of Mars

Still know that it is necessary to give birth to babies on Mars to maintain a long life there, but whether or not it is possible to reproduce in Mars's environment is still unknown.

We still know that, if astronauts spend too much time in outer space, their bodies will be more or less affected. The absence of gravity causes changes in the flow of fluid in the body, leading to decreased vision due to the affected eyeball. Bones become thinner and muscles may shrink if not exercising regularly.

Mars is not a completely non-gravity environment like the International Space Station, it has gravity about 38% of gravity on Earth. But it is still a major change for the human body, which will affect reproductive cells, fertilization, embryonic development or how babies adapt.

Children born in Mars will quickly adapt because it is the environment in which they will grow. Scientists recommend that animals be tracked before seriously taking the population policies in Mars.

Ethical issues

Once people settle on Mars, there will soon be a multitude of ethical questions.

How many people need to maintain life on Mars? Researchers say this number ranges from 5,000 to 5,800 people. But in fact we need a larger community due to the harsh nature of the environment, the number of survivors will be reduced.

Followed by reproductive rights issues . Because living on Mars is not easy, moral issues in reproduction may be overlooked. We will choose parents who are in good condition to give birth to healthy children that survive and thrive.

As well, mass abortion is inevitable. Because the living conditions are so different from those in Earth, the fetus will be mutated and have a high risk of death. It is for these reasons that the most important thing is to create a new generation that adapts to the Martian environment with technology from Earth.

Potential solutions

Many of us have special genetic traits that make them suitable for life in Mars. These characteristics help the body to reduce the reaction to a weight loss, the body will be less sensitive to cancer or defects caused by cosmic radiation. Mars society will need to look for such citizens.

To avoid being passive and creating lots of trouble, aviation agencies are continuing to research to find safe solutions in selecting citizens and simulating the development of life on Mars.Photo: Vox.

In addition, we can use DNA editing technology to make a normal person become a person with such special genetic traits. Tools like CRISPR can find and replace DNA fragments and even modify them in embryos through in vitro fertilization.

When people with this particular genetic trait start life in Mars, Earth and Mars people will grow into two different species and have different characteristics over time. Naturally, people in two places remain the same. But over time, evolution to adapt to the environment will make us different.
