Vol 3 Chapter 574: : Official Response

As soon as the Edwards came, this project could officially enter the substantive R & D phase, instead of only existing and theoretical assumptions.
Ye Hua can naturally replace the Edwards and them, but as the boss who controls the overall situation behind the scenes, it is impossible for him to lead the project development in a single field, otherwise 10 Ye Hua are not enough because there are other key modules or fields that also need A lead person.
In the afternoon, Ye Hua hosted a press conference to officially disclose the first major scientific research breakthrough of Coastline University, namely the details of the hibernation project and answer some external questions.
Human cryogenic hibernation technology has caused widespread controversy in the society, and it is indispensable to support and oppose quarrels.
The convening of this press conference was of secondary importance in disclosing technical details. Ye Hua's main purpose was to make an official response to external disputes.
The press conference was held in a multimedia hall of the school, and more than 200 well-known domestic and foreign media organizations came to the scene. The press conference entered the Q & A session 20 minutes later.
...
Reporter: "Thanks to the spokesperson. Coastline University has achieved world-leading breakthroughs in the field of cryogenic biological cryopreservation technology. Although there are many human cryopreservation institutions in the world, there are very few medical institutions involved. What is your opinion on this? ? "
Ye Hua: "I think human cryopreservation is just a new business opportunity, not medicine. Human cryopreservation is the ultimate goal of status medicine. However, cryopreservation of human cryopreservation institutions in the world is still mainly a commercial activity. Or try. They are only responsible for 'freezing' but not for 'wake-up'. At present, the body's cryogenic institutions can only operate the freezing and storage steps. 'Wake-up' has no precedent and is not on the agenda. "
Indeed, the world today is not a coastline university hibernation project. Except for the successful freezing of cells or early embryos, laboratory animals such as flies and fish have been frozen, and there have been no precedents for successful wake-ups, let alone wake-ups. Already.
After a pause, he added with a confident smile: "We may be about to break through the 'last mile' and achieve 'resurrection'. In the near future we will officially open the cryopreservation business. Putting the technology into the commercial operation stage is something we are constantly working on. Work hard. "
...
Reporter: "The development of human cryopreservation technology places significant requirements on existing laws, and this alternative 'resurrection' has gone beyond the existing legal framework. According to the new edition of the" Involved in Human Beings "issued by the National Health Planning Commission Article 7 of the Measures for Ethical Review of Biomedical Research clearly stipulates that medical institutions shall not conduct biomedical research involving human beings for the establishment of ethics committees. This operation has already involved life and death and must be reviewed and approved by the ethics committee , If it is carried out without approval, it may be ordered to terminate. In this regard, what is Mr. Ye's opinion? "
Ye Hua: "Before answering your question, let me talk about Coastline University is not the first institution in the world to enter the field of cryonics. The first one is the" Alco Life Continuation Fund "from the United States and it is currently the world's largest human body. One of the freezing institutions. At the same time, China's first human freezing institution is also from the domestic Yinfeng Biological Engineering Group Co., Ltd. The person in the law you asked should refer to a natural person, excluding fetuses and remains. "
"Human cryopreservation technology is a new technology for the development of medical science and technology, and it also involves bioethics, violations of the laws of nature, and so on. But as an emerging technology for human pursuit of life, we cannot kill a new student The development of technology is based on the principle that "the law is free if it is not forbidden." If the future frozen technology matures and truly achieves "resurrection", then human ethics and legal systems should occur Major change. "
...
Reporter: "For the cryopreservation of the human body, is the frozen person alive or dead? Does the frozen person belong to the sick body or the remains?"
Ye Hua: "I think that from the perspective of the subject's brain not dying and the hope of being rescued in the future, the cryopreservation of the human body should belong to the rescue category. In this state of cryopreservation, the preserved individuals should be protected. Regarding vegetative persons with no capacity for civil conduct, their legal rights and obligations can be resolved with reference to the existing guardianship system. "
"If the death is not judged, then the disposal of the human body in the frozen state cannot be regarded as the disposal of the remains. In this case, the legal risk of intentional killing may be encountered in the disposal of the body of the preserved person."
...
Reporter: "How can the alternative" resurrection of a frozen person "be legally confirmed?"
Ye Hua: "At present, more than 1,700 patients with incurable diseases in the world have joined the freezing program, and will be awakened again after the development of medical treatment and ability to cure the disease. As a result, a number of freezing technology service companies in this area have been born, and many are rich Cremation is no longer practiced after death, but people are frozen, which is also recognized by law. "
"I think the 'awakening' here is legally determined as the result of successful treatment after death, and its related social and property relations should be handled in accordance with the general principles of civil law."
...
Reporter: "Can you further disclose some of the latest developments in human cryopreservation technology?"
Ye Hua: "Technical issues are no longer an issue. We will awaken the practice next. As far as I am concerned, I firmly believe that the technology of" stagnation and freezing "has 100% confidence. We will witness this greatness for the world. The time has come. "
...
Reporter: "If technology is to leave the R & D laboratory, it will be inseparable from the promotion of commercialization. Could Mr. Ye elaborate on the cost of human freezing technology?"
Ye Hua: "Based on the comparison of the existing hibernation freezing service companies or institutions in the world, the cost is high, mainly because the traditional cryogenic storage requires huge resources, which also means high costs."
"I have a more specific profile here."
"Liquid nitrogen tank, 400,000; program cooling equipment, 400,000; extracorporeal circulation machine, 1 million; ventilator, 80,000 ..."
"These are data from 2015. If we calculate today's inflation rate, it will only be higher. For each freeze, the cost of cryoprotectant alone is 200,000 to 300,000, and the cost of other materials for surgery, etc., and After the human body enters a low temperature preservation state, liquid nitrogen needs to be automatically replenished every ten days to half a month, which costs about 50,000 yuan per year. "
"Additionally, the data I mentioned above are domestic costs. In fact, the cost of human cryopreservation is not low in the United States. The freezing business provided by the Alco Life Fund, headquartered in Arizona, is currently "The institution's total body freezing cost is $ 230,000, and the cost of the brain nervous system freezing is about $ 80,000. Contributions can be paid annually, half a year, extreme and monthly, and the final cost will reach millions of dollars."
"It's inevitable that technology will be from scratch to the early stages of commercial applications, but I believe it will be cheaper in the future."
...
Ye Hua responded to the mainstream media at home and abroad at the press conference. Soon after the press conference ended, Ye Hua returned to his office and the knock on the door rang.
"Come in."
"Boss, a reporter came to visit us. Would you like to see him?" Zhang Heming, who came in, was so used to calling his boss that he would be called the principal only in public. This is not a big problem.
But the problem is ... Ye Hua doesn't understand Xiao Zhang, who has always been clever: "The world wants more reporters to visit me, don't I see them all? Do you still come to me to ask such questions?"
"Uh ... boss, that British female journalist." Xiao Zhang hesitated and explained again.
British female journalist?
Helen Jones.
Ye Huali immediately thought of the name in his head, and then a quite figure emerged.
Well, Xiao Zhang is wrong, he is still wit as usual.
"Everyone is here, so please meet." Ye Hua said quickly.
Xiao Zhang nodded and went out for a while. He took the person to his office not long afterwards, and left quickly with interest, closing the door shut.
Ye Hua looked at the BBC reporter who was walking towards him. She had not met for a year, but in Ye Hua's impression, she seemed to have ushered in a year of adverse growth, younger than a year ago. Looks pretty good.
"I said you ..." Ye Hua had just spoken, and had not spoken a few words. Helen, who was silent, rushed up like a wolf and a tiger, which made people caught off guard.
After a moment's twitching, Ye Hua who reacted was immediately angry, and his backhand was slammed on the desk and taught him a hard meal.
...
Afterwards, a fairly clear "m" -shaped impression remained on the desk's desktop.
After the lesson was over, Ye Hua looked at the female reporter and felt that she was almost rested: "Dear, don't tell me to come over from the other hemisphere just to give a pao."
"As long as you agree, I don't mind the honey that comes often ..." Helen said seriously, Yu Hong's face hadn't completely disappeared.
"I mind."
"Unintelligible guy ..."
Ye Hua refused very decisively, jokingly, she just looked like Ye Hua dared to promise that if she agreed, she would definitely fly here in ten days and a half months.
It's good for a while, but it's not good after that. It doesn't have any feelings with this BBC female reporter.
And to be honest, Ye Hua even felt that there was a relationship with her. That was because she took a big advantage and said she suffered a lot.
"Someone broke the news to me about your super fierce material." After being satisfied, Helen took the initiative to shift the topic, Ye Hua said indifferently: "There are too many fierce fiery materials about me, what do you mean? For example?"
"For example ... three days ago at the Hilton Hotel ~ EbookFREE.me ~ you made more than 40 billion U.S. dollars in auctions in less than 2 hours. If this is not super exciting, it is a powerful regenerative hormone that can last for life Can it be counted? "Helen said with a raised frown.
"is it?"
Ye Hua's pretense was surprised. In fact, he already knew about it, and before the auction was held, it was impossible to hide it.
In this regard, Ye Hua did not feel too tricky. In fact, it was not a bad thing to expose it. This is also a great way to recruit talents. Now it is the time of employment. Those top-aged scientists in the 70s and 80s are willing to come to Coastline University. Ye Hua doesn't mind giving them treatment to improve their bodies and even extend their lives.
"I haven't reported it yet, I think it seems like someone wants to be against you," Helen said.
"Report it, can you know, do you think other media will not know?" Ye Hua looked at her with a smile. It was quite unexpected that she could come to tell this story a short distance, but that's all Two more rewards, no more.
