Chapter 913 Regeneration, Ethical Struggle

The live broadcast of the animal experiment on regenerative repair fluid is still going on, but Zhang Heping is no longer in the laboratory.

After settling his comrades, Lao Li and Lao Tang, and their group at the Peace Hotel across the street, Lao Zhang, at the request of his two comrades, took them to Shenzhen Peace Hospital to visit the veterans who had agreed to participate in the clinical trial of the regenerative repair fluid.

Zhang Heping, who had left the laboratory, was now with a group of media in the hospital's inpatient department introducing the upcoming clinical trial of the regenerative repair fluid.

"In order to conserve treatment fluids, patients participating in clinical trials need to receive a liquid diet one week in advance and consume nutrient solutions three days in advance to reduce metabolites in the body."

A young female reporter in a beige blazer and skirt raised her hand. Zhang Heping nodded, then spoke, "Reporter from the Hong Kong Economic Times, Mr. Zhang, if someone has fallen from a height unexpectedly, or is seriously injured in a car accident, can they be treated directly in the treatment cabin?"

"Yes!" Zhang Heping replied calmly, "The two situations you mentioned require the use of a dynamic circulation treatment chamber, and the doctor will perform surgical intervention outside the chamber. This consumes a lot of treatment fluid, and the related costs will increase accordingly."

"The treatment chambers currently on display are all independent static circulation treatment chambers. Their internal circulation and cleaning power are not strong and are only suitable for single-person, single-time use."

As they walked past a ward, a female reporter in a white shirt with her sleeves rolled up raised her fair, delicate right hand. After receiving permission, she asked, "CCTV reporter, Consultant Zhang, does a patient like this one, who only has a broken right forearm, also need to lie in the treatment chamber for treatment? Wouldn't that waste the treatment fluid?"

Zhang Heping looked at the veteran in the ward the reporter pointed to and said seriously, "Theoretically, we can customize a small treatment chamber for his right arm. It only needs to cover his right shoulder, leaving space for his right forearm and palm to regenerate."

"This way, not only can we save 8% of the treatment fluid, but we also won't have to fall into a coma during treatment."

"But the prerequisite is that the patient must strictly follow the nutritional ratio to supplement the body's needs. In addition, the patient must always pay attention to the recovery of the right arm fracture and intervene in the abnormal proliferation in time."

"To ensure the effectiveness of treatment, the best treatment method currently is for the patient to lie in the treatment cabin."

……

When Zhang Bing came over with two comrades and their families, Zhang Heping was still being interviewed.

Lao Zhang did not go over to disturb them, but just took two comrades to introduce themselves to the disabled veterans in the ward. They were friends Lao Zhang met at Shenzhen Peace College.

After these disabled veterans explained the liquid diet they had recently been eating, the examinations they had undergone, and the treatments they were about to receive, Lao Li and Lao Tang finally had a clear idea of ​​what was going on and were no longer as confused as before.

In particular, they felt more relieved when they learned that Zhang Heping had been injured and burned in a previous explosion and had recovered in such a treatment cabin.

However, while Zhang Heping was still preparing press releases to build momentum, the World Internet Forum was already in an uproar.

In particular, some foreign media, completely disregarding the research and development purpose of the regenerative repair fluid and the miraculous therapeutic effects shown in the live broadcast, directly criticized the regenerative repair fluid from the aspects of ethics, human rights, life dignity, and animal protection, and demanded a ban on this anti-human research.

Their attacks were not without purpose. They had criticized the cruelty of the monkey experiments of separating the head and body and the monkey experiments of "being torn apart by five horses", and expressed various concerns about the possibility that the regenerated monkeys and humans from the headless bodies might have independent consciousness.

Where there are opposing voices, there are naturally supporters!
Those patients and their families who see hope in the efficacy of the regenerative repair fluid naturally hope that this drug can be successfully developed and put on the market as soon as possible.

Of course, the most powerful support comes from the fact that biological, genetic, and medical experts from many countries want to learn about this research in person and want to participate in subsequent drug experiments.

The debate over the regenerative repair fluid lasted for more than ten days. As the monkeys, mice, and rabbits with head injuries recovered and were taken out of the treatment chamber and put into cages for observation, the live broadcast of the animal experiment on the World Internet Forum also ended.

Although the live broadcast has ended, some people are still paying attention to the headless and dismembered regenerated monkeys, regenerated mice, and regenerated rabbits.

Although these animals, which rely on partial regeneration, only have heartbeats and no brainwaves displayed on the panels of their treatment chambers, the outside world still suspects that they may have consciousness, and as a result, there have been even stronger calls for countries to send personnel to participate in related experiments.

For this reason, the Laoye Department, which had been under pressure for more than ten days, had to send an inspection team to Shenzhen Peace College under the intervention of many people who wanted to use the 120-year life potion and regeneration repair fluid.

The purpose of their trip was, firstly, to investigate whether the regeneration and repair fluid conflicted with the new drug regulations, and secondly, in view of the pressure from foreign public opinion, to ask Zhang Heping to suspend relevant experiments and for their department to hold a meeting to study the matter and then decide how to conduct subsequent experiments.

However, what shocked the Ministry of Internal Affairs and foreign media was that this highly anticipated inspection team could not even pass the checkpoint at the intersection of Shenzhen Peace College, let alone meet Zhang Heping!
Because of this, the master complained to his superiors, saying that Zhang Heping disobeyed the organization and had no organizational concept at all.

But when the matter reached Hua Lao, it turned into an undisguised threat: "If you want him to return to Hong Kong Island to conduct experiments, then feel free to interfere."

It's important to understand that Zhang Heping not only has the Heping Big Health Medical Research Institute on Hong Kong Island, which employs many foreign experts, but also collaborates with numerous biological and genetic research institutions from various countries. The Shenzhen Heping Academy and Heping Hospital are not Zhang Heping's only options. If Zhang Heping returns to Hong Kong Island and invites foreigners to conduct experiments together, the foreign media, which initially opposed the regeneration and repair fluid experiments based on ethical concerns, will undoubtedly change their tune immediately and lavish praise on Zhang Heping's contributions to medicine.

Who knows, there might even be a peaceful refusal of the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Hua Lao wouldn't budge, and the higher-ups wouldn't intervene. The members of the Ministry of Personnel's inspection team didn't dare to challenge the heavily armed checkpoints. As a result, they ended up like the group of foreigners with different motives guarding the intersection: they came in the morning to apply to see Zhang Heping, and returned to the hotel to report back in the evening.

Time slowly approached the end of the month. After Zhang Heping refused to go to the capital to watch the National Day gala on the grounds that he was busy with experiments, a live broadcast was launched on the homepage of the World Internet Forum.

Compared with the various voices of foreign media, the Peace Group, which controls the world's first portal website "World Internet Forum", a number of Hong Kong and Macao media, and some foreign media, can attract global attention every time it speaks out, and its voice can be said to be loud!
[Live broadcast of clinical trial of regenerative repair fluid]

After the live broadcast title came out on the afternoon of September 9, all that could be seen was a silent picture of a nurse station and a section of a hospital corridor.

However, reporters and photographers often appear on the screen.

If you turn on the TV, you can also see related news reports...

"Hello everyone, I am currently in the orthopedic inpatient department of Shenzhen Heping Hospital."

"We have received news that the clinical trial of the regenerative repair fluid will officially begin at 10 am tomorrow."

"Right now, we can see Mr. Zhang leading a group of doctors on ward rounds. I will find an opportunity to interview him later."

"Now, let me take you to see the patients who will be undergoing the clinical trial of the regenerative repair fluid."

"Hello! I'm a reporter from Rediffusion Television. Are you confident in this new drug trial?"

The old soldier with a broken arm, who was suddenly pointed at by the microphone and faced by the camera, was stunned for a moment before nodding silently.

The young man guarding the bed saw the beauty of the female reporter and took the opportunity to show off, "You must be confident! Consultant Zhang also used this treatment fluid after being burned before, and he has recovered so well now."

The young man obviously didn't understand the difference between the regeneration and repair fluid and the nutrient solution Zhang Heping used last time. The reason for this misunderstanding was that he didn't listen carefully to the medical staff's previous explanation and got distracted halfway through.

But then again, the treatment fluid used in this clinical trial does contain regenerative repair fluid and that kind of nutrient fluid.

Of course, the actual composition of the treatment solution is more complicated and will be formulated according to each person participating in the clinical trial.

The female reporter smiled at the young man, then continued to ask the veteran with a broken arm leaning against the headboard, "Some people in foreign countries have accused Mr. Zhang of developing this controversial regeneration and repair fluid, and even more so, he shouldn't..."

"They're talking bullshit!" the old soldier exclaimed angrily. "Those foreign devils are afraid that after we, the wounded, recover, they'll continue to beat the shit out of us!"

"Old man, don't get excited!" The female reporter was surprised by the other party's reaction. Glancing at the treatment cabin beside her, she quickly changed the subject and asked, "You'll be lying in this treatment cabin tomorrow for a month. Are you scared?"

The old soldier with the broken arm was still angry, and the young man next to him said, "We've seen Consultant Zhang lying in the treatment cabin to recover from his injuries before, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"

The old soldier snorted coldly: "I'm not even afraid of the Japs, so why would I be afraid of sleeping?"

"Yeah! The old hero is very brave. I asked the wrong question. You should have a good rest!" Seeing that the old soldier was not as excited as before, the female reporter hurriedly asked the photographer to leave.

However, just as they left the ward, they heard a roar from the room across the street, "Bullshit ethics! Did the Japanese ever talk about ethics when they invaded our country?"

"Damn it! If there was a regenerative medicine like the one developed by Consultant Zhang back then, many of my brothers could have been saved!"
