Chapter 251 The dispute between the general manager and the discipline coordination committee(2/2)

However, the organs cultivated through tissue engineering, because the initial cloned human stem cells come from the patient's body.

Extracted from immature embryos formed by cloning technology, so the organ tissues successfully cultivated after rent can perfectly replace the patient's damaged organs and achieve a complete cure effect.

Unexpectedly, the biology department is also doing the same research, and it is even further away from the other party.

Not only the ears, noses, eyes, etc. with outlines, the biological department also cultivates nerves, bones, and... kidneys with real organ functions!

The problem is here.

The native cells are derived from the patient's cloned carcass and belong to human cells.

However, to promote its growth, animals provide nutrients. To a certain extent, they will also be integrated into animal cells.

So, is the organ cultivated in this way still a complete human organ?

Obviously not!

This involves a very serious ethical and moral issue. Whether such an organ has transplantation

?

As a patient, he just wants to make up for the appearance of incompleteness or has some doubts. But for those who are waiting for the paired organ to save their lives, they don’t care how many human cells there are in this organ, how many animal cells, and whether they will bring other side effects. Even if he is still considered a purebred human in the future, the patient can temporarily put it behind the scenes of life and death.

The biology department doesn't care much either.

They are a group of biotechnology workers who focus on their professionalism, and a group of special talents who are very dedicated but not very good at dealing with non-professional issues.

When they were excited and came up with results and asked for human experiments, they scared Austin to lose his mind.

Such a thing may make the company famous, seriously affect the company's image, and become the target of scolding. How can he agree instead?

At that time, Xiao Qiang was in Europe and was at a critical moment to promote the virtual world. Austin did not want to use this to affect his emotions. So he made a decisive decision and refused the request from the biological department.

However, the biological department will be entangled every few days. The department head, an old man in his sixties, said in tears that this is an inevitable step in human development. Without practice, biomedical technology will never make progress. Short-sightedness now will definitely taste the bitter fruit in the future.

Austin was so obsessed with him that he had no choice but to ask the director of the surgery department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital in private.

The other party was very interested in his hidden explanation. Shanghai also cultivated it in the laboratory and did not enter the clinical medicine application. Now I heard that the biological development department of Huanyu Company can cultivate organs in large quantities and immediately ask to come to see it.

As a result, the director of surgery and researchers from the biology department communicated for more than a month and told Austin that their hospital was willing to assist the biology department to provide experimental patients and jointly engage in further clinical medical research.

The other party was not reckless, and first transplanted a left ear to a patient.

Previously, they explained the patient in detail the growth source and causes of the transplanted organs. They also clearly stated that the success of the transplant cannot be guaranteed and whether there will be other side effects thereafter. It is not clear. The patient's left ear was lost in childhood due to an electric shock accident. From childhood to adulthood, he suffered discrimination against others and was eager to become a normal person.

After he was lingering for a week, he agreed to undergo a transplant and signed strict legal documents.

The surgery director personally performed the surgery, and the surgery was very successful, and the wound healing after the surgery was also very ideal.

At this moment, something unexpected but reasonable arose—the patient had psychological imbalance.

This ear grows from the back of a mouse. After experiencing the initial ecstasy, the patient began to fall into an inexplicable fear. He often looked at the transplanted ear in front of the mirror because of a little abnormality, for several hours.

At night, he couldn't sleep all night, fearing that he would become a mixture of humans and mice.

The hospital did a lot of ideological work to him, sent out the best psychological counseling doctor, and conducted continuous psychological counseling. Seeing the patient seemingly cheerful and no longer paying attention to his new ear, the company's biology department and the hospital thought that the matter was over.

Who knew that this patient just suppressed endless fear in his heart and repeatedly endured the pain and torture in his heart.

Finally, one night, the patient, who could no longer bear the pressure, jumped off the building and committed suicide.

Since it was at night and after the patient jumped off the building, a hospital patrol doctor happened to pass by. Although he was not rescued, it did not cause much impact. The hospital handled it in time and covered up the matter. After that, the hospital, who was panicked, met with the biological department of Huanyu Company, and quietly found the patient's family, and proposed to pay huge compensation, which concluded the matter.

The family of the deceased fell into extreme grief. At first, he refused to give in and insisted on suing. The hospital presented a letter of commitment signed by the patient, reminding the other party that the purpose of the operation, the source of the transplanted organ, and the possible consequences. Moreover, after careful consideration, the legal documents agreed upon were signed, and there was no fraud. Now the hospital proposed compensation, but only in sympathy and exercised spiritual compensation beyond the scope of responsibility that should be borne. If you go to court, it will only make the matter worse, bring greater pain to the family of the deceased, and you will not be able to get more compensation - it is possible that you will not get any compensation due to losing the case!

After a long period of negotiation, the three parties finally reached an agreement to compensate the other party for more than one million yuan to settle the matter.

Things have developed here, and although it has turned an experiment into a heartbreaking tragedy, it has ended.

However, the hospital and biology departments that have obtained a large amount of experimental data are not satisfied with the current results.

They actually wanted to continue the experiment and carry out kidney organ transplantation!

Kidney disease patients are very painful. Dialysis costs a lot every day, and it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It is hard to live, and life is worse than death. However, there is extremely shortage of kidney sources across the country, and it is possible that you can queue for several years and you can't wait for a suitable kidney source to match.

What makes people even more desperate is that after a kidney transplant, the patient can only last for several years and last for more than ten years due to rejection. The longest kidney transplant case is currently the longest patient, and the patient has lived for forty years, which is called a miracle.

The most ideal organ source is to use the human stem cells to clone the carcass, and then extract active cells to cultivate.

However, during the growth process of immature kidneys, it is impossible for the human body to provide nutrients to complete their natural growth. It is inevitable that animals can only be used as substitutes.

Austin refused to agree again this time, and he resolutely rejected the proposal of the biological department.

Universal Company cannot withstand the blow of the scandal. He would rather not make this money than allow the company's reputation to be damaged.

But the biology department did not know what was going on, and after applying to the Discipline Coordination Committee, it was approved. According to the charter originally formulated by Xiao Qiang, the discipline coordination committee will decide which aspects of research the scientific research department is engaged in, what assistance it needs, and how much funding it can get.

Although Austin is the general manager of the company, he only has the right to act arbitrarily in the company's operations, but he has no right to interfere with the scope of responsibilities and powers of the discipline coordination committee.

This time, Austin vowed not to allow the study to continue, and he decided to use all his energy to stop it.

When Xiao Qiang came back, the reason why he didn't come down to greet him was that he was having a fierce quarrel with the discipline coordination committee and the biomedical department, and the two sides were having a verbal battle.

Therefore, he urgently needed Xiao Qiang's support to reject this research that would inevitably become a disaster. He didn't care how much benefit this research might bring to the development of human medicine.
