God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 241 Terrible Experiment
It turns out that in the past year, researchers in the biology department have been engaged in "tissue engineering technology".

They used degradable biomaterials to build a biological framework, then extracted human stem cells for culture, and attached a sufficient number of cloned cells to the framework through special means.

After that, it is combined with animals by surgery, and the animals provide nutrients for the cells, promote the growth of the cells, and gradually replace the absorbed and degraded biomaterial framework, thereby forming a shape.

This technology is not original to Infinity Biolabs, it was proposed by the American Science Foundation as early as 1987.

At that time, a hospital in New York used this method to breed a "human ear mouse".

That is to say, there is a human ear growing on the back of the mouse. The feeling of dislocation has brought an indescribable impact on everyone.

In fact, the purpose of this technology is to provide patients with replacement organs.

Routine organ transplantation is prone to rejection, which is an irresistible biological instinct, because it is not the organ of the person concerned.

Even if the transplantation is successful, it will bring about relatively large side effects, requiring long-term use of special drugs to suppress it.

Moreover, this kind of transplanted organ will gradually fail under the influence of the body's own rejection as time goes by, and completely lose its effectiveness.

When it loses its effectiveness, it will also take people away at the same time.

However, the organs cultivated through tissue engineering technology are extracted from the original cloned human stem cells, which are completely derived from the patient's body.

It is extracted from immature embryos formed by cloning technology, so the organs and tissues cultivated after recombination can perfectly replace the damaged organs of the patient, so as to achieve the effect of radical cure.

Chen Weidong did not expect that the biology department was also doing the same research, and even went further than abroad.

The biological researchers led by Professor Kruger have not only been able to cultivate ears, noses, eyes, etc. with contours, they have also cultivated nerves, bones, and kidneys with real organ functions!

The key problem lies here.

Primitive cells are derived from the patient's cloned body and belong to human cells.

However, there is a link here.

To promote the growth of these cells, animals need to provide nutrients. To a certain extent, some animal cells will be more or less integrated.

But in this case, the cultivated organ, is it still a fully human organ?
Obviously not!

This involves a very serious ethical and moral issue.

Is such an organ necessary for transplantation?
If you, as a patient, just want to make up for the incomplete appearance, you may still have concerns.

But for those who are waiting for matching organs to save lives, they probably don't care about how many human cells and how many animal cells are in this organ, and whether it will cause other side effects.

Even, in this case, whether it is considered a human being or not, the patient can temporarily forget about it at the moment of life and death.

Researchers in biological laboratories don't care too much about this issue.

They are a group of biotechnology workers who are immersed in their profession, and are a group of special talents who are serious and dedicated, but not very good at dealing with non-professional problems.

When they were excited and asked for human experiments, everyone in the academic committee held strong objections!
Because such a thing is likely to discredit the company, seriously affect the company's image, and become an evil scientist scolded by the world. How dare they agree to approve such a project?

After Lin Zeju heard about it, he also flatly rejected the request of the biology laboratory, because it was too scary, it would be a nightmare!
Infinity Company must present a sunny and positive image in front of the public!
However, the researchers in the biological laboratory quarreled with each other every day. One of the 60-year-old researchers who participated in the research said with tears that this is an inevitable step in human development. Without practice, biomedical technology will never No progress will be made.

The current short-sightedness will inevitably taste the bitter fruit in the future.

Lin Zeju was so entangled that he had no choice but to consult a director of surgery at the Southern Medical College in private.

The other party expressed secretively that he was very interested.

Because many large medical institutions are only cultivated in the laboratory and have not yet entered clinical medicine.

Now that I heard that the biological laboratory of Infinity Company can cultivate cloned organs in large quantities, I immediately asked to come to see it.

As a result, the director of surgery, Professor Kruger and others communicated for more than a month, and expressed to Lin Zeju that their hospital was willing to assist the biological laboratory, provide experimental patients, and jointly engage in further clinical medical research.

After careful consideration, both parties first transplanted the left ear for a patient.

Prior to this, they explained in detail the source of the transplanted organ to the patient, and made it clear that there was no guarantee of 100% success, and whether there would be other side effects in the future.

The patient's left ear was lost due to a rough-and-tumble accident when he was a child. He was discriminated against by others since he was a child, and he was eager to become a normal person.

After hesitating for a week, he agreed to the transplant and signed a series of strict legal documents.

The director of surgery performed the operation himself, and the operation was very successful, and the postoperative wound recovery and healing were also very satisfactory.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened to everyone!

That patient had a serious psychological imbalance!

Because the ear grew out of the back of the little white mouse, the patient began to fall into an inexplicable psychological fear after the initial ecstasy.

He often looks in the mirror and observes the transplanted ear repeatedly for several hours because of a little abnormality.

At night, he couldn't sleep all night, afraid that he would become a mixture of human and mouse, so that later, his spirit even had some kind of hallucination, thinking that he was a "rat man".

After the hospital learned of this situation, it did a lot of ideological work on him, and also sent the best psychological counseling experts to provide continuous psychological counseling.

Looking at the patient, he seemed to gradually become cheerful, and no longer paid attention to his new ear. The researchers in the biological laboratory and the hospital thought that the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, that patient just pressed the endless fear in the deepest part of his heart, and repeatedly endured the pain in his heart.

Finally, one night, unable to bear the pressure any longer, he jumped to his death.

Since it was at night, a night watch doctor happened to pass by. Although they were not rescued, they did not cause much impact.

Because in this place where life and death are parted, it doesn't seem to be a very special thing.

The hospital dealt with it in time and covered up the matter.
