Blackstone Code Chapter 1195: Bopein Treaty
In media reports or in books and magazines, scientific progress is a phrase that is bland.
In fact, it is the untold amount of money that drives scientific progress.
Not every scientific research can get a positive response. Many times this cannot be done, the research direction is wrong, or the supporting technology is limited, and the final investment has become a technology accumulation. .
Accumulation is not success, it is only necessary to make reserves for success. From the perspective of investors and returns, it is at least a loss in a short period of time.
The more cutting-edge technology, the more so.
The more people demand something, the more people will study it, the more money will be invested, and the more people will pour into the industry.
If there is one common vision for all mankind, it must be the longevity of life.
Whether it is the poor or the upper class, they all long to live longer.
From the very beginning of human civilization, the pursuit of immortality seems to be engraved in people's genes.
Or conversely, there is an instinctive desire for immortality in human and even biological genes.
Every year, a large number of rich people, dignitaries, and even transfer a large amount of funds from some secret accounts to some cutting-edge medical research. When people cannot obtain longevity through theology, they instinctively turn their attention to medical care.
Maybe medical treatment can't make human beings truly immortal, but it can maximize people's life longer.
In the early years, a sci-fi movie called Man of Many Faces was released. The aliens in the story can use advanced technology to exchange brains with humans and hide among humans.
This movie also brings a lot of inspiration to medicine. Human aging and death are based on the aging of organs, so if people are replaced with all new organs, will human beings not die?
As a result, the issue of organ transplantation has been continuously advanced with the support of various tycoons and politicians, and all kinds of overt and covert financial support, and people have begun to make money from animals.
However, the success rate is still relatively low, and there have been some problems affecting the progress of these topics, such as the problem of rejection.
People have been solving these problems all the time. Some scientists believe that organ transplantation will be mature in ten to twenty years, and it will be able to successfully operate in the clinic in fifty years.
Fifty years...too long, Mr. Wycliffe can't wait fifty years.
After a new consultation, Mr. Wycliffe left his attending physician alone with the two.
"I feel my heart is getting weaker lately..." Mr. Wycliffe's face turned a little blue, and his expression was ugly.
The doctor nodded, "This is an inevitable process, some people will be faster, some people will be slower, we can't accurately judge a specific time, but your situation is really bad." /
Mr. Wycliffe got up and walked to the window, looking at the children running on the lawn in the sun, a look of jealousy on his face.
"When you say surgery...do you mean a heart transplant?"
The doctor didn't hide it either, "If your condition has reached the point where surgery is necessary, it means that taking medicine is also difficult to control, and you have only two choices."
"Surgery attempts may be less than 5 percent successful, or all treatment may be abandoned in the face of death."
Heart failure is not like other things, it cuts off when some are cut, the heart stops beating, and it is meaningless to say anything.
There is no good way to intervene, and a healthy heart seems to be the only way.
Mr. Wycliffe was silent for a while, "I'm not going to give up my life, I have an idea..."
For the sake of money, the doctor patiently said, "Please speak, I'm listening."
He turned to look at the doctor, his eyes were a bit pressing, "Why don't we directly conduct experiments on humans, which should be applied to humans themselves faster than research on animals!"
The words are so right. No matter how well researched animals are, even if the success rate is 100%, there will still be many problems in humans.
So why not do research in humans right from the start?
The doctor laughed dryly, "Mr. Wycliffe, I can understand your concern about your current health, but this question you asked..."
He shook his head, "We haven't fully mastered these technologies, and rashly using them in the clinic will cause the death of a large number of experimenters, and it goes against morality."
Mr. Wycliffe raised his hand and stopped the doctor from continuing, "I don't care about morals, and I don't care if other people die, I just care, if the time comes, how likely is it that I will be alive? ."
"You can chat with the senior management of the hospital, those who specialize in researching these people, and I have a way to provide you with some suitable places for research."
"There are people in this world who should have died a long time ago, but are still alive, and that may be the reason why they are alive!"
The doctor nodded and didn't continue arguing. He had a faint feeling that maybe this matter could be successful.
The progress of science always requires someone to pay, especially the progress of medical science.
"I'll pass along, Mr. Wycliffe..."
Looking at the back of the doctor leaving, Mr. Wycliffe's eyes were full of unwillingness. He was unwilling to leave this world early, and he began to think seriously about how to get a sum of money.
Even if the hospital here does not agree with his proposal, he can find some people to do these researches. In a year or two, he can wait, and he can always find a way through constant attempts.
And all of this requires money.
Money is becoming more and more important, more and more critical!
Lynch has no sympathy for Mr. Wycliffe's anxiety. First of all, he is not sick. Second, he is still very young. He still has a lot of time to waste. It is not entirely true.
The average life expectancy in the Commonwealth is only in the 60s. This is still a very high level of medical care. It seems that Lynch will soon be 25 years old, still a young man.
In fact, at the average age, he has already spent half his life.
Humans are really a pitiful race. God gave them wisdom and gave human society a splendid culture, but it also cruelly limited the lifespan of human beings.
Short-lived life force bears too much pain. It would be great if human beings could live longer, or if human beings were not allowed to generate ego and personality.
A mediocre life is like those monkeys, who come in ignorantly and leave ignorantly, with no worries and no worries.
As Mr. President's pen fell on the agreement, the Bupen Treaty was completely signed.
Countless flashing lights came on, and Mr. President stood in the middle of the twenty-four diplomats or ministers, officials and other diplomats.
This organization will completely change the current disorder in international trade and make everything orderly, which is what everyone hopes.
In fact, for small countries, they may not understand the strategic intentions of the federal government, nor do they understand the meaning of the international financial war. All they want is orders.
The order will help them get out of the current economic woes, and some people want industrial aid, or whatever.
No matter what purpose they have, at this moment, everyone is closely united.
Mr. President smiled happily, showing his slightly yellowed teeth.
His dentist told him it wasn't yellowing, it was just that he was so old that something on the surface of the teeth was done, exposing deeper dentine.
These dentines are easy to color, so they look a little yellow, but it's not that he doesn't pay attention to oral hygiene, it's also something he can't do.
This moment will be an important and unforgettable moment for him. In fact, he does not have much ambition. It is an unexpected gain to enter the history book because of a treaty.
This may be one of the biggest good news for this old man who actually has some conservatives.
After the filming, it was time to answer questions from reporters. It was very lively today, because there were so many big people sitting together. This may be the first time in history that this international event has brought together so many countries.
Every reporter wants to stand up and speak. For them, these precious materials may also become "history", and they will also become "fragments of history", known to countless later people.
"The girl in the front row looks good~IndoMTL.com~ Mr. President smiled and said softly to Mr. Truman next to him.
Mr. Trueman looked at the young girl and replied in a low voice, "This is not ours."
Mr. President, with some regret, pointed to the person next to the blond girl, a brown-haired lady who looked to be in her thirties.
"Thank you, Mr. President, for choosing me. I'm a reporter from.... My question is..."
A very conscientious reporter, the question raised is actually a supplement to the manuscript.
For a big political event like this, before the reporters asked questions, some important media organizations had already obtained the press release. They knew what to ask and what not to ask.
Only those who do not break the rules can coexist with the entire ecological environment.
And those who break the rules will be kicked out of the circle.
The president's subordinates listened to the female reporter's questions very seriously, and then conquered all the reporters with humorous answers.
People applauded Mr. President's speech and lamented Mr. President's wisdom.
In fact, some people are very clear that these are standard answers, and there are already answers before asking questions.
Another fool's question...
While thinking about it, many reporters honestly recorded Mr. President's answers in their notebooks. These are the contents to be published.
Immediately afterwards, people raised their hands again...
