Chapter 241 Horrible Experiment
It turns out that in the past year, researchers in the biology department have been engaged in "tissue engineering technology."
They used degradable biological materials 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 the animal through surgery, and the animal provides nutrients to the cells, promotes the growth of the cells, and gradually replaces the absorbed and degraded biomaterial framework, thereby forming a shape.
This technology is not unique to the Infinite Company's biological laboratory. It was proposed by the American Science Foundation as early as 1987.
At that time, there was a hospital in New York that used this method to breed a "human-eared mouse."
In other words, there was a human ear growing on the back of the mouse. The feeling of dislocation brought an indescribable impact to everyone.
In fact, the purpose of this technology is to provide patients with replacement organs.
Conventional 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 transplant is successful, it will cause major side effects, requiring long-term use of special drugs to suppress it.
Moreover, as time goes by, such transplanted organs will gradually fail due to the body's own rejection and completely lose their 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.
Extracted from immature embryos formed by cloning technology, the recombinant and cultured organ tissues can perfectly replace the patient's damaged organs, thereby achieving a complete cure.
Chen Weidong did not expect that the biology department was actually doing the same research, and even went further than abroad.
The biological researchers led by Professor Kruger have not only been able to grow ears, noses, eyes, etc. with contours, they have also grown nerves, bones, and...kidneys with real organ functions!
The key question is here.
Primary cells are derived from the patient’s cloned fetus and are human cells.
However, there is a link to this.
To promote the growth of these cells, nutrients need to be provided by animals, and to a certain extent, they will be integrated into some animal cells.
But in this case, are the cultivated organs still fully human organs?
Obviously not!
This involves a very serious ethical and moral issue.
Is it necessary to transplant such an organ?
If, as a patient, you just want to make up for the imperfections in appearance, you may still have concerns.
But for those who are waiting to be paired with organs to save their lives, they probably don’t care about how many human cells and animal cells there are in this organ, and whether it will cause other side effects.
Even if this is the case, it is not considered a human being. At the moment of life and death, the patient can temporarily forget about it.
Researchers in biological laboratories don't care much about this problem.
They are a group of biotechnology workers who are immersed in their own profession. They are a group of special talents who are serious and dedicated, but are not very good at dealing with non-professional issues.
When they enthusiastically asked for human experiments, everyone on the academic committee held strong objections!
Because such a thing is likely to bring disrepute to the company, seriously affect the company's image, and become an evil scientist reviled by the world. How dare they agree to approve such a project?
After Lin Zeju heard about it, he flatly rejected the biological laboratory's request because it was so terrifying that it would give him nightmares!
Infinite Company must present a positive and sunny image to the public!
However, researchers from the biological laboratory have been pestering them for three days. One of the sixty-year-old researchers who participated in the study said with tears that this is an inevitable step in human development. Without practice, biomedical technology will never be able to survive.
There will be no progress.
The current short-sightedness will inevitably taste the bitter consequences in the future.
Lin Zeju was so entangled that he had no choice but to privately consult a director of surgery at Southern Medical College.
The other party showed a veiled expression of great interest.
Because many large medical institutions only cultivate it in laboratories and have not yet entered clinical medicine.
Now I heard that Infinite Company's biological laboratory can cultivate cloned organs in large quantities, and I immediately asked to come and have a look.
As a result, after communicating with Professor Kruger and others for more than a month, the director of surgery expressed to Lin Zeju that their hospital was willing to assist the biological laboratory, provide trial patients, and jointly engage in further clinical medical research.
After very careful consideration, both parties first transplanted the left ear of one patient.
Prior to this, they explained to the patient in detail the source of growth of the transplanted organ, and made it clear that they could not guarantee 100% success and whether there would be other side effects in the future.
The patient's left ear was lost in a playing accident when he was a child. He has been discriminated against by others since he was a child, and he is eager to become a normal person.
After hesitating for a week, he agreed to undergo the transplant and signed a series of strict legal documents.
The surgical director performed the surgery himself, and the operation was very successful. The postoperative wound recovery and healing were also very satisfactory.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened!
That patient had a serious psychological imbalance!
Because the ear grew out of the back of a white mouse, the patient began to fall into an inexplicable psychological fear after spending the initial period of ecstasy.
He would often look at the transplanted ears in the mirror for several hours because of a slight abnormality.
At night, he couldn't sleep all night, fearing that he would become a mixture of human and mouse. Later, he even had some kind of hallucination in his mind, thinking that he was a "rat man".
After the hospital learned of this situation, they did a lot of ideological work on him and sent the best psychological counseling experts to provide continuous psychological counseling.
Seeing that the patient seemed to be slowly becoming more cheerful and no longer paying attention to his new ear, the researchers in the biological laboratory and the hospital all thought that the matter was over.
Who knows, that patient just suppressed the endless fear in the deepest part of his heart, and repeatedly endured the pain and torture in his heart.
Finally, one night, he could no longer bear the pressure and jumped to his death.
Since it was at night, a doctor on night patrol happened to pass by. Although he was not rescued, it did not cause much impact.
Because in this place where life and death are separated, this doesn't seem to be anything special.
The hospital dealt with it promptly and covered up the matter.
