Sanqing Weikang: “I am very pleased to see the heated discussion about organ transplantation 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 lasted for three days, which is a small step in the right direction for us. Although the road ahead is long, the future is promising."
"But things may not be as smooth as everyone imagined. Now we are encountering a problem."
"I'll try to summarize it in the simplest terms. There are still a small number of pig cells in the transplanted organs, so the risk is high and it cannot be directly used in clinical applications. An intermediate process must be followed."
"According to international practice, it must first be transplanted into brain-dead patients to verify its safety and effectiveness before normal human clinical trials can begin."
“Only by completing this step can we move forward, and we are 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 transplant operations on them before we can continue the subsequent clinical research."
"Suitable patients must be willing to donate organs and at the same time suffer from brain death, so it is difficult to recruit."
"This is a necessary step for scientific research, but it goes against our traditional concepts that have existed 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 body, and biology must continue to explore the forbidden area of human ethics."
"Fortunately, people's ideas have been changing with the progress of the times. Two hundred years ago, it was considered treason to cut off the appendix if the body was inherited from the parents. Now, the concept of organ donation has also gained widespread ground. "
“In a modern society where people are becoming more intelligent, I believe everyone will have their own thoughts on the collision of tradition and technology.”
“Technology is ultimately taken from the people and used by the people, and this is even more true for medical technology.”
“Thanks to the selfless dedication of every volunteer who participated in clinical trials, Sanqing has a dazzling list of drugs today.”
"I can't decide what is right or wrong, so I'll leave it to everyone to discuss."
"After all, every one of you is in the game."
Wei Kang has not surfed the Internet intensively for a long time, and he only occasionally reads comments.
Netizens also regard it as a wishing pool and write down some medical expectations.
When he published this long article, it was like throwing a mine into a dense fish pond, instantly creating a large fan base.
"Damn it, Mr. Wei faked his body?"
"Upstairs, I won't allow you to be so rude to Mr. Wei."
"I'm sorry, I was quick to speak. I didn't mean to do it. In fact, deep down in my heart, my admiration for Mr. Wei is like the water of the Yellow River flowing endlessly."
"Look what Mr. Wei said! Do you want to sum it up in a big way?"
"Nine leaky fish? You can't even understand this kind of thing? You always come to trouble us. This is very rude."
"Something serious has happened. President Wei asked us if we would accept human experiments on brain-dead patients for organ transplantation."
"Huh? So fierce?"
"Of course human experiments will not be accepted. We don't have the traditional skills of the Eagle Country."
"After roughly looking at it, I think it's difficult. Most people still can't accept being dragged out and disemboweled while the body is still warm."
"I'll accept whoever said it, but my parents won't accept it. After all, I'm dead, and I don't have any say in what happens after my death."
"There really is no soil for science to grow in China. Europa began dissecting dead people in the 17th century, which led to the development of surgical medicine. But now, we are still arguing about whether to conduct human experiments on dead people."
"Tsk, tsk, the reflection monster is here again."
"In fact, clinical trials of new drugs are human trials. Many people do it every year. Why is there so much controversy when it comes to dead people? I can't understand."
"It's possible for living people to survive human experiments. The dead are already dead. Why don't we let them rest in their graves?"
"You should tell the person who asked for cremation this."
"They've all been burned to ashes. Do you still care about missing a lot of parts? According to me, ordinary people who do nothing should use their remaining energy for science before they die. This may be the only meaning of their lives."
"Of course it's not necessary for ordinary human experiments, but this is a human experiment for organ transplantation. If this technology can be put into practice as soon as possible, how many living patients can be saved!"
"To be honest, organ donation can only save a few people, but participating in such human experiments can save not just a few people, but thousands of people."
"I am 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 first."
"Wow, the idea upstairs is great, I want to do it too."
"Everyone is right. Everyone will get sick in the future. Whether it is you or your family, there will be a day when organ failure occurs. If Sanqing's new technology can be put into clinical practice as soon as possible, countless patients can be saved one day earlier. This It is a great good thing with immeasurable merit, and we should support it.”
"Yes, I support President Wei. With Sanqing's organ transplantation technology, we may lose one or two organs, but we will gain thousands of organs."
"Hi, I'm a tourist here. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to participate in such a big public 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 Do clinical trials.”
"What are you talking about? Don't you see that this is a family matter? Is there any room for you, Wai Guoren, to interrupt?"
"Yes, foreigner upstairs, this is none of your business, just be a quiet onlooker."
"You are too overbearing. The Sanqing Dynasty belongs to China and the whole world."
"If you don't accept it, just hold it in. Who said Sanqing is a Chinese enterprise? Haha."
"Ignore this silly foreigner, let's continue discussing business. Where did we come from, the collision of technology and tradition..."
Netizens discussed it enthusiastically, and in the end they were generally divided into two categories.
One type is conservative, who express their support, but their parents do not support it. To be conservative, they can wait for time to kill. When their parents' generation is gone, traditional concepts will definitely be defeated in all aspects.
The other group is the radicals, who are all die-hard fans of Sanqing. To show their full support, everyone directly signed an organ donation agreement exclusive to Sanqing.
But when it comes time to die, it's really hard to say whether there will be a small probability event like brain death.
After all, when young people are still alive, it is difficult for them to decide whether they can get married, let alone the affairs behind their backs that they have nothing to do with their hands.
"It seems that most young people online support my idea. This matter still has a certain basis of public opinion."
Wei Kang looked at the comments from netizens and had an idea.
Just as he was about to continue scrolling down, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"What? Are there volunteers calling?"
"Oh, no, it must have been a call from the family."
"She wishes she could tell me in person on the phone?"
Wei Kang was extremely surprised, but also a little happy at the same time, and said quickly: "Quick, transfer the call."
A few seconds later, a slightly deeper female voice rang on the phone.
"Mr. Wei, hello."
It could be heard that this was a middle-aged woman with a certain education who was trying her best to remain calm, but the unnatural pause in her tone still revealed the excitement deep in her heart.
"Hello, I'm Wei Kang. Thank you very much for your call. I heard that you want to help your relatives sign up for a clinical trial. Can you tell me more about it?"
Wei Kang spoke slowly and in a very calm tone, which undoubtedly relieved the middle-aged woman's nervousness.
"Well, I am the mother of a brain-dead patient. My son is still very young, less than 30 years old. A car accident took his life a few days ago."
"Just yesterday, the doctor pronounced him dead, yes, brain dead."
"Originally nothing happened, but he has always been kind and full of enthusiasm for life. He even signed an organ donation agreement."
"Although I didn't agree with it at the time, this was my son's last wish, and I have to respect his thoughts."
"And I still have a little selfishness. My son is dead, but I hope that part of his body can live on, even if it is in someone else."
“My wife died young, and I was raised by one person. When I think that his heart, liver, kidneys, and even corneas can save a life and live on his behalf, I feel that he is still in the world and has not completely disappeared. "
At this point, she sniffed a few times, stopped, and said.
"Mr. Wei, I'm sorry, this is probably an old mother's obsession, making 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 carefully.
"Okay, then I'll continue." The middle-aged woman was silent for three seconds and said.
"Actually, I opposed his organ donation at the beginning because of traditional concepts. Although I was persuaded by my son, I still couldn't give up the idea."
Wei Kang wondered: "But didn't you just say that you should respect his ideas and donate his organs?"
"Yes, that's what I think. Is there any way to respect his ideas and donate his organs to others, while also allowing him to keep his intact body for burial?"
The middle-aged woman murmured to herself: "I thought and thought, but I still can't find a way to get the best of both worlds."
"However, after I saw the news on the Internet this morning, I suddenly thought of a way."
Wei Kang was even more confused, but he didn't say anything. He just listened quietly to what the other person said.
"I just thought, since he donated all his organs, his stomach must be empty."
"Isn't your organ transplant experiment about transplanting organs from pigs to humans?"
"Then isn't my son's body just a ready-made container? You can move the organs there, do your experiments, and then leave everything in my son's belly, okay?"
There was a hint of pleading in the middle-aged woman's voice, and she said tremblingly: "Anyway, after you finish the experiment, you won't need these organs anymore, so don't dig them out anymore and just leave them to him, okay?"
"This way he won't have to be buried with a shriveled stomach, and I won'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 originally belong to him, my heart won't hurt so much if I put it there."
"You did an experiment, the patient got the donated organ, my son can keep his body intact, and I can feel at ease for the rest of my life. Is this arrangement okay?"
After hearing these words, Wei Kang suddenly fell silent, and his eyes were inexplicably moist.
He suddenly remembered that if his parents were still alive now and encountered such a problem, would they be as entangled as the other party, pleading hard to achieve the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said calmly: "Your idea is very reasonable and humane. I have no reason not to agree."
"If you have any other requests, just ask them and I will satisfy them."
"Great," the middle-aged woman let out a surprised cheer.
"I have no other requirements. Oh, by the way, my place is a bit far from Kunming City. My son cannot live without a ventilator. Can he come to my place for surgery?"
Wei Kang nodded: "No problem. Tell me the detailed address and I will send someone there immediately."
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 such a great mother."
"Sanqing will never forget the contributions you and your son made to the Institute of Medicine."
After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but be stunned, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He should be happy that the matter was resolved, but it may be that the solution proposed by the mother just now gave him a huge impact, and he felt inexplicably complicated.
This strange family member came up with a perfect solution from a completely unexpected angle.
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 their relatives' organs are taken away, leaving an empty body and unable to keep the whole body.
If it can be exchanged as much as possible, even if it is not the original product, the family members will not be unable to accept it.
Especially for some deceased people who originally planned to donate their organs, this plan has solved the most troublesome problem for their families.
After all, traditional Chinese culture does not stipulate that when a person dies, all body parts must be original.
Otherwise, what should we do with the deceased who have had other people’s organs transplanted long ago?
Some of their organs are no longer original, but their families have no objection at all and don't feel that their bodies are incomplete at all.
From this perspective, the standards of traditional Chinese culture are actually quite flexible.
"This is a typical Chinese parent. He loves his children deeply and wants to see their children's lives continue in this world, but he can't let go of traditional concepts."
“I never expected that the collision between tradition and science could be successfully resolved in such a way.”
"Technology is people-oriented. This is indeed true."
"Sometimes, no matter how advanced the technology is, we still have to believe in the ancient wisdom of the Chinese people."
Wei Kang murmured to himself, the corners of his mouth slowly rising, revealing a faint and satisfied smile.
