I can extract side effects - Chapter 656
c652 A call from a stranger
Sanqing Weikang: “I am very relieved to see the hot discussion on organ planting on the Internet.”
“The current achievements of this project are inseparable from the hard work of the R&D team.”
“At present, extracorporeal dialysis has only been maintained for three days, which is a small step in the right direction for us. Although the road ahead is long, the future is promising.”
“However, things may not be as smooth as everyone imagined, and now we have encountered a problem.”
“I try to summarize in the simplest terms, that is, there are still a small amount of pig cells in the implanted organs, so the risk is relatively high, and it cannot be directly applied to clinical practice, and an intermediate process must be followed.”
“According to international practice, it is necessary to first transplant it into brain-dead patients to verify its safety and effectiveness before starting normal human clinical trials.”
“Only by completing this step can we move forward, and we are precisely stuck at this step.”
“There is no legislation on brain death in China, and the acceptance among the people is very low. However, we need to recruit more than a dozen brain-dead volunteers and complete transplants on them before we can continue the clinical research.”
“Appropriate patients must have the willingness to donate organs, and brain death has occurred at the same time, so it is difficult to recruit.”
“This is a necessary step for scientific research, but it is contrary to our traditional concepts for thousands of years.”
“I think there is no right or wrong between the two ideas. Everyone has the freedom to dispose of their own bodies, and biology must constantly explore the forbidden areas of human ethics.”
“Fortunately, people’s ideas have been changing with the progress of the times. Two hundred years ago, it was considered treasonous to cut off the appendix. Now, the concept of organ donation has also gained ground for widespread growth. ”
“In a modern society where people’s wisdom is open, I believe everyone will have their own thoughts on the collision between tradition and technology.”
“Science and technology is ultimately obtained from the people and used for the people, especially in medical technology.”
“Thanks to the selfless dedication of every volunteer who participated in the clinical trial, Sanqing has a dazzling list of drugs today.”
“Which is right and which is wrong, I can’t decide on my own, so I’ll leave it to everyone to discuss.”
“After all, each of you is in the game.”
Wei Kang has not surfed the Internet intensively for a long time, and usually only occasionally reads comments.
And netizens also regard him more as a wishing pool, and write down some medical expectations.
When his long article was published, it was like throwing a mine into a dense fish pond, and instantly exploded a large number of fans.
“Fuck, President Wei cheated on the corpse?”
“Upstairs, I don’t allow you to be so rude to Mr. Wei.”
“I’m sorry, I was quick to talk. I didn’t mean it. In fact, my admiration for Mr. Wei is like the water of the Yellow River.”
“Look at what Mr. Wei said! Summarize if there is anything wrong.”
“Jiu Leu Yu? Can’t even understand this kind of words? It’s very impolite to always come to trouble us to hang up.”
“Something has happened. Mr. Wei asked us if we would accept human experiments using brain-dead patients for organ transplantation.”
“Huh? Is it so fierce?”
“Human experimentation is of course not acceptable, and we don’t have the traditional skills of Eagle Country.”
“I probably looked at it, and I think it’s difficult. Most people still can’t accept dragging out when the body is still warm.”
“Whoever said it, I’ll accept it, but my parents don’t accept it. After all, I’m dead, and I don’t have a say in the aftermath.”
“China really doesn’t have the soil for scientific growth. Europa began to dissect dead people in the 17th century, and only then did surgery flourish, and we are still arguing over whether to do human experiments on dead people.”
“Tsk tsk, it’s smelling weird again.”
“Actually, clinical trials of new drugs are human experiments. Many people do it every year. Why is there so much controversy when it comes to dead people? I can’t understand.”
“The living have undergone human experiments and there is a possibility of surviving. The dead are all dead, why don’t we let them go to the ground for peace?”
“You tell the person who asked for the cremation.”
“It’s all burned to ashes, do you still care about the lack of many parts on your body? According to me, ordinary people who do nothing should contribute to science before they die. This may be the only meaning of their lives.”
“Of course there is no need for ordinary human experiments, but this is a human experiment for organ transplantation. If this technology can be implemented earlier, how many living patients can be saved!”
“To be honest, organ donation is just to save a few people, but participating in this kind of human experiment can save not just a few people, but tens of thousands of people.”
“I’m going to sign an organ donation agreement. The only requirement is that in case of brain death, my body will be donated to Sanqing for medical experiments.”
“Wow, the idea upstairs is awesome, I want to do it too.”
“Everyone is right. Everyone will get sick in the future. Whether it is yourself or your family members, there will be a day when organs fail. Sanqing’s new technology can be clinically used as soon as possible, and countless patients can be saved one day earlier. It is a great thing with infinite merit, and we should support it.”
“That’s right, I support Mr. Wei. With Sanqing’s organ transplantation technology, we may lose one or two organs, but we will gain tens of thousands of organs.”
“Hi, I’m a crooked nut who came to travel. I didn’t expect to be lucky enough to participate in such a public opinion discussion. In fact, I want to remind you that if you don’t want to do human experiments, you can come to our Eagle Country. The people of Eagle Country welcome Sanqing very much. to do clinical trials.”
“What are you talking about? Didn’t you see that this is a housework? Is there any room for you to intervene?”
“Yes, the foreigner upstairs, it’s none of your business, just be a quiet onlooker.”
“You guys are too domineering. Sanqing belongs to China, and it belongs to the whole world.”
“If you don’t accept it, just hold back, who said that Sanqing is a Huaxia enterprise, ha ha.”
“Don’t worry about this stupid foreigner, let’s continue discussing the business. What happened just now, the collision of technology and tradition…”
Netizens discussed in full swing, and in the end they were roughly divided into two categories.
One is the conservatives, who express their support, but their parents do not support them. To be conservative, they can wait for time to kill. When the generation of parents is gone, traditional concepts will definitely lose in all directions.
The other group is radicals, who are all die-hard fans of Sanqing. In order to express their full support, they directly handwritten an organ donation agreement exclusively for Sanqing.
But when it comes time to die, it is really hard to say whether it will be possible to encounter such a small probability event as brain death.
After all, when young people are alive, it is not easy for them to decide whether they can get married, let alone the affairs behind them that they can’t control anything.
“It seems that most young people who go online support my idea, and this matter still has a certain basis of public opinion.”
Wei Kang looked at the comments of netizens, and he knew it in his heart.
Just as he was about to continue scrolling down, the phone on the desk rang suddenly.
“What? A volunteer calling?”
“Oh, no, it should be a family member calling.”
“She wants to speak to me on the phone in person?”
Wei Kang was extremely surprised, but at the same time also had a hint of joy, and hurriedly said: “Quickly, transfer the phone over.”
A few seconds later, a slightly deep female voice rang on the phone.
“Mr. Wei, hello.”
It can be heard that this is a middle-aged woman with a certain degree of education, trying to maintain calm, but the unnatural pause in her tone still reveals the excitement deep in her heart.
“Hello, I’m Wei Kang. Thank you very much for your call. I heard that you are going to help your relatives sign up for clinical trials. Can you tell me carefully?”
Wei Kang came slowly, with a very peaceful tone, which undoubtedly eased the nervousness of the middle-aged woman.
“Well, I am the mother of a brain-dead patient. My son is very young, under 30, and a car accident took his life a few days ago.”
“Just yesterday, the doctor pronounced him dead, yes, brain dead.”
“There was nothing wrong with him at first, but he has always been kind and full of enthusiasm for life, and even signed an organ donation agreement.”
“Although I didn’t quite agree with it at the time, this was my son’s last wish, and I have to respect his thoughts.”
“And I have a little selfishness. My son is dead, but I hope a part of his body can live on forever, even in someone else’s body.”
“My wife died early, and he was brought up alone. Thinking that his heart, liver, kidney, and even cornea could save a life and live on his behalf, I feel that he is still in the world and has not disappeared completely. ”
Having said that, she sniffed a few times, stopped, and said.
“Mr. Wei, I’m sorry, this is probably an old mother’s obsession, I made you laugh.”
“No, in fact, I have also experienced the pain of losing a loved one. I understand your feelings very well.” Wei Kang comforted me carefully.
“Okay, then I’ll continue.” The middle-aged woman said after being silent for 3 seconds.
“Actually, I opposed his organ donation at the beginning because of traditional ideas. Although I was persuaded by my son, I still couldn’t give up the idea.”
Wei Kang asked suspiciously: “But didn’t you just say that you should respect his ideas and donate his organs?”
“That’s right, that’s what I thought. Is there any way to respect his ideas and donate his organs to others, but also allow him to keep a complete body for burial?”
The middle-aged woman murmured, “I’ve been thinking and thinking, but I haven’t been able to find a way to get the best of both worlds.”
“However, after seeing the news on the Internet this morning, I suddenly thought of a way.”
Wei Kang was even more confused, but he didn’t make a sound, just quietly listening to the other party.
“I just thought, since he donated all his organs, his stomach must be empty.”
“Isn’t your organ transplant experiment going to transplant organs from pigs to humans?”
“Then my son’s body is a ready-made container? You move the organs there, do your experiments, and then leave everything in my son’s stomach, okay?”
There was a hint of pleading in the middle-aged woman’s voice, and she tremblingly said: “Anyway, after you finish the experiment, you probably won’t need these organs, so don’t dig them out, just leave them to him, okay?”
“This way he doesn’t have to be buried with a dry stomach, and I don’t have to have nightmares every day.”
“He has donated a lot and paid a lot. Can you leave something for him, even if it doesn’t belong to him, but put it there, my heart doesn’t hurt so much.”
“You did an experiment, the patient got a donated organ, my son can leave a whole body, and I can feel at ease for the rest of my life. Is this arrangement okay?”
Hearing these words, Wei Kang was silent for a while, and his eyes were inexplicably moist.
He suddenly remembered that his parents, if they were still alive and encountered such a problem, would they be as entangled as the other party, begging hard, trying to achieve the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said calmly: “Your idea is very reasonable, it is human nature, I have no reason not to agree.”
“If you have any other requirements, feel free to ask, and I will satisfy them all.”
“Great,” the middle-aged woman let out a surprise cheer.
“I don’t have any other requirements. Oh, by the way, my place is a bit far from Kunming City. My son can’t live without a ventilator. Can you come to my side for surgery?”
Wei Kang nodded: “No problem. Tell me the detailed address, and I will send someone there right away.”
After saying this, he paused for another second, his face became solemn, and he said solemnly.
“You are a great mother, please accept my highest respect.”
“It’s an honor to be able to help a great mother.”
“Sanqing will never forget the contribution you and your son have made to the Institute of Medicine.”
After hanging up the phone, he couldn’t help being dazed, with mixed emotions in his heart.
He should be happy that the matter has been resolved, but it may be the solution proposed by the mother just now, which has brought a huge shock to him, and his mood is inexplicably complicated.
From a completely unexpected angle, this strange family member proposed a perfect solution.
According to her idea, the problem of organ donation for brain-dead patients can be solved in one fell swoop.
In fact, it is not that most family members cannot accept the death of their loved ones, nor can they accept that their loved ones are used for human experiments after death.
They just can’t accept that the organs of their relatives are taken away, leaving an empty body, and they can’t keep the whole body.
If you can exchange one for another at the limit, even if it is not the original product, the family members will not be unacceptable.
Especially for some of the deceased who originally planned to donate their organs, this plan has solved one of the most troublesome problems for the family members.
After all, traditional Chinese culture does not stipulate that when a person dies, all body parts must be original.
Otherwise, what about the deceased who had transplanted other people’s organs long ago?
Some of their organs are not original, but the family members have no opinion at all, and they don’t feel that their bodies are incomplete at all.
From this point of view, the standards of Chinese traditional culture are actually quite flexible.
“This is a typical Chinese-style parent. They love their children deeply and want to see the continuation of their children’s lives in this world, but they can’t let go of traditional ideas.”
“I never expected that the collision between tradition and science could be successfully resolved in such a way.”
“Technology is people-oriented, and it is true to say that.”
“Sometimes no matter how advanced the technology is, we must believe in the ancient wisdom of the Chinese people.”
Wei Kang muttered to himself, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, revealing a faint but satisfied smile.
