660 Two Ways (3)

Although several "injured soldiers" with only heads were sent back during the second Battle of Glitzer 581, the physical functions of these wounded soldiers were in a very good state when they were frozen. The seriously ill person sent back this time was already extremely weak. If they had not been frozen, they might not be able to go there for even half an hour.

The thawing process alone takes more than half an hour, and several serious patients may not be able to pass this level.

But Ye Fei still asked unwillingly: "Is there nothing wrong with serious illness?"

"It's not that there's no way, there's just some risks," the veterinarian replied.

"How to say it?"

"Human body freezing technology is constantly improving. Twenty years ago, when the freezing technology came out, it would be 100% impossible to send a head back. Now basically everyone can be saved." The veterinarian tried to make it simple and understandable, "Do you know how we thaw the wounded with only one head?"

"If you have something to say, what are you trying to keep me?" Ye Fei glared at the veterinarian dissatisfiedly, saying that this sentence was really wonderful. When was there only one head left, and he could also be called a wounded person?

The advancement of technology has blurred the traditional concepts of corpses and wounded people. It seems that some theories say that cells also have memories. If this is true, then one day, can a few living cells be called wounded or survivors?

The veterinarian laughed dryly and said proudly: "It's actually quite simple. We built a machine called "Bicyclic Man", which is almost as big as five or six cubic meters. This thing can be like a real human body. It provides blood circulation and nerve signals. In the case of freezing, connecting all the blood vessels and nerves of the wounded's neck with the bionic man is equivalent to providing the injured with a temporary body, then thawing the brain, and then anesthetizing the brain, and then taking out the brain and transplanting it directly into a new body - it's best to directly transplant the neck to a new body. The operation process is simple and the side effects are small."

"The patient can't do this, right? Maybe there is a virus in the blood, and it will be transplanted directly to a new body. Maybe it will bring the virus over." Ye Fei thought for a while and said.

"It's true. But the thawing process is roughly the same." The veterinarian changed his sitting position. "We are planning to design a device specifically used to thaw the brain. We will take out the brain without thawing the disease, connect it to the bionic person and then put it in the nutrient solution to thaw. After the brain regains activity, replace the blood that may carry the virus before starting the transplant... This requires a direct transplant of the brain. It is much more troublesome than a neck transplant."

Ye Fei nodded as if he had some understanding: "It sounds quite reasonable, but does it only replace blood? What if there is a virus in the brain?"

The veterinarian shrugged: "The structure of the brain is too complicated. Even nanorobots cannot enter the brain through the blood-brain barrier. So they can only bet. If the virus is brought into the new body after transplantation, they can only refreeze the brain as quickly as possible. When medical technology develops in the future, they can thaw it again when it can treat this disease..."

Ye Fei's expression sterned: "Wouldn't the first thawing patient throw his life in?"

"How could it be?" The veterinarian rolled his eyes. "Before the formal treatment, we must do a virus experiment, but the experiment of this virus is more troublesome, and we can use cloning directly."

Ye Fei was startled: "You mean, just use a complete clone?"

The laws of the Republic allow cloning of human organs, but not completely cloning of human bodies. The clones used for transplantation use genetic technology to inhibit the development of the brain. That is to say, clones are brainless without brains from the embryo. Because there is no brain, an important thinking organ, and clones do not meet the basic definition of "human". Only in this way can the limitations of the law be avoided.

Due to the emergence of cloning technology, many incredible stories have appeared, such as a fanatical fan trying every means to get the cells of a female star and create a clone of a star to live with him; for example, a certain emotionally frustrated love species accidentally gets the cells of the woman, so the woman clones and clones herself, providing the necessary conditions to make two young people fall in love, etc.

Even if it is understandable, this behavior can infringe on ethical and rights of the cloned person himself.

These two types of people are pretty good. There have been rumors that gangs gathered beautiful women's cells everywhere and used clones to conduct pornographic transactions. Because clones do not have the legal qualifications of humans, even if the police found evidence, they could only define this infuriating behavior as illegal cloning.

In addition, incidents such as abuse of clones are emerging one after another.

Of course, after this matter was made public, countries immediately formulated relevant laws on this situation, collectively known as the "Clone Act", and clones must be brainless, which is the laws formed during this period.

Although it sounds a bit cruel, the Clone Act maximizes the protection of the rights and interests of natural persons and has a milestone significance in human history.

The decree provides detailed classification explanations for clones and behaviors against clones. For example, abuse of clones is equivalent to abuse of clones himself; having an improper relationship with clones is equivalent to fucking clones himself, etc. It sounds ridiculous and irritating provisions.

However, not all cases will be determined in this way, because according to such inferences, marrying a clone is equivalent to marrying the clone himself, so the clone is guilty of bigamy, which is obviously extremely unfair to the innocent clone himself.

Also, cloned people and the fetus born to normal people are also considered to have nothing to do with the cloned person, but because the child itself is not wrong, the child can obtain the right to survive as a natural person.

All in all, that period was a mess.

The veterinarian said that he wanted to use clones to perform experiments, which is no longer news in the medical community, but for experiments on the brain, the brain must be cloned together. Isn’t this contrary to the basic principles of the Clones Act?

You should know that the Clone Act is not a single decree made by a certain country, but a decision made by the five permanent members of the United Nations, and it uses force to ensure that all countries around the world must implement it. Even if China has the strongest military power at present, once the news is leaked, it will cause a lot of trouble.

When the veterinarian saw Ye Fei's worried expression, he immediately laughed: "Don't worry, I know what you are worried about. We are not that brave yet. The experiment will be carried out before the embryo matures." (To be continued...)
