Once the Edwards arrive, this project can officially enter the actual research and development stage, instead of just existing as a theoretical idea.
Ye Hua can naturally replace Edward and his wife, 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 will not be enough, because there are other key modules or fields that are also needed
A lead person in charge.
In the afternoon, Ye Hua hosted a press conference to officially disclose the details of Coastline University's first major scientific research breakthrough, namely the hibernation project, and answer some questions from the outside world.
The technology of human cryogenic hibernation has caused widespread controversy in society, and there are heated arguments between those who support and those who oppose it.
In holding this press conference, the disclosure of technical details was secondary. Ye Hua's main purpose was to make an official response to the controversy from the outside world.
The press conference was held in a multimedia hall of the school. More than 200 well-known domestic and foreign media organizations were present. The press conference entered the question and answer session after twenty minutes.
…
Reporter: "Thank you to the spokesperson. Coastline University has achieved world-leading breakthroughs in the field of low-temperature biological cryopreservation technology. Although there are many cryonics institutions in the world, few medical institutions are involved. What do you think of Mr. Ye?
?”
Ye Hua: "I think cryonics is just a new business opportunity, not medicine. Human cryopreservation is the ultimate goal of status medicine. However, at present, human cryopreservation in many cryonics institutions around the world is mainly a commercial practice.
Or try. They are only responsible for 'freezing' but not 'awakening'. Currently, the world's cryonics institutions can only operate the freezing and storage steps. There is no precedent for 'awakening', and it has not been put on the agenda."
Indeed, in today's world, not counting the hibernation project of Shoreline University, except for successfully freezing cells or early embryos, freezing flies, fish and other experimental animals, and there is no precedent for successful awakening, let alone awakening hibernators.
Already.
After pausing for a moment, 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 cryogenic storage business, and we will continue to put this technology into commercial operation."
Something to work hard on.”
…
Reporter: "The development of human cryopreservation technology has put forward major requirements for existing laws. This alternative 'resurrection from the dead' has surpassed the existing legal framework. According to the new version of "Involving Human Beings" issued by the National Health Planning Commission
Article 7 of the "Measures for Ethical Review of Biomedical Research" clearly stipulates that medical and health institutions that have established ethics committees are not allowed to carry out biomedical research involving humans. This kind of surgery involves 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. What do you think of Mr. Ye?"
Ye Hua: "Before answering your question, let me first say that Coastline University is not the first institution in the world to enter the field of cryonics. The first one is the Alcor Life Extension Foundation from the United States, which is currently the largest cryonics institution in the world. At the same time, my country’s first cryonics institution is also from the domestic Yinfeng Bioengineering 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 in the development of medical science and technology. It also involves bioethics, violates the natural laws of life cycle, etc. But as an emerging technology for human pursuit of life, we cannot kill a new life because of this.
The development of technology is based on the principle of "freedom without prohibition by law" and is not illegal. If cryopreservation technology matures in the future and "resurrection from the dead" is truly realized, then human ethics and legal systems should change
Big changes.”
…
Reporter: “As for human cryopreservation, is the frozen person alive or dead? Is the frozen person a sick body or a corpse?”
Ye Hua: "I think that from the perspective that the subject's brain is not dead and there is hope of being rescued in the future, human body cryogenic hibernation preservation should fall within the scope of treatment. In this cryopreservation state, the preserved individual should be
Considered a vegetative person without capacity for civil conduct, the legal power and obligation relationship can be resolved with reference to the existing guardianship system."
"If a death judgment cannot be reached, the disposal of the human body in a frozen state cannot be regarded as the disposal of the remains. In this case, the disposal of the preserved body may face the legal risk of intentional homicide."
…
Reporter: “How can the alternative ‘resurrection from the dead’ of frozen people be confirmed legally?”
Ye Hua: "Currently, more than 1,700 terminally ill patients in the world have joined the cryopreservation program. They will be awakened again in the future when medical technology is developed and capable of curing the disease. As a result, many cryonics technology service companies have been born, many of whom are rich.
After death, people are no longer cremated but frozen, which is also recognized by law."
"I think the 'awakening' here is legally determined to be the result of successful treatment after death, and its related social relations and property relations should be handled in accordance with the general principles of civil law."
…
Reporter: “Can you please further disclose some of the latest developments in human cryopreservation technology?”
Ye Hua: "Technical issues are no longer a problem. We will carry out awakening practice next. Personally, I firmly believe that the 'stasis cryopreservation' technology is 100% sure, and we will witness this greatness for the world."
The time has come."
…
Reporter: "For technology to move out of R&D laboratories, it must be promoted by commercialization. Can Mr. Ye elaborate on the cost of cryonics technology?"
Ye Hua: "Based on the comparison of existing hibernation freezing service companies or institutions in the world, it is expensive. The main reason is that traditional cryogenic freezing consumes huge resources, which also means high costs."
"These are the data from 2015. If you calculate the current inflation rate, it will only be higher. Every time you do a cryoprotectant, the cost of cryoprotectant alone is 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, as well as the cost of other surgical materials, etc., and
After the human body enters the cryopreservation state, it needs to automatically replenish liquid nitrogen every ten days to half a month, which costs about 50,000 yuan per year."
"In addition, the data I mentioned above are all domestic costs. In fact, the cost of human cryopreservation in the United States is not low. The cryopreservation business provided by Alcor Life Fund, headquartered in Arizona, currently
, the institution provides whole-body cryotherapy at a cost of US$230,000 and cerebral nervous system cryotherapy at a cost of approximately US$80,000. Membership fees can be paid annually, half-yearly, monthly and monthly, and the final cost will reach millions of dollars.”
"It is inevitable that technology will develop from scratch to the early stages of commercial application, but I believe it will be even cheaper in the future."
…
At the press conference, Ye Hua dealt with mainstream media at home and abroad one by one. Not long after the press conference ended, Ye Hua had just returned to his office when a knock on the door rang.
"Come in."
"Boss, a reporter is here to visit, do you want to see him?" The person who came in was Xiao Zhang Heming. He was used to calling him boss. He only called him principal in public. This was not a big problem.
But the problem is... Ye Hua doesn't understand the always witty Xiao Zhang: "There are so many reporters from all over the world who want to visit me. Do I have to meet them all? Why do you have to come to me in person to ask this kind of question?"
"Uh... the boss is the British female reporter." Xiao Zhang hesitated for a while and explained again.
British female journalist?
Helen Jones.
Ye Hua immediately thought of the name in his mind, and then a rather sexy figure emerged.
Okay, I made the mistake of blaming Xiao Zhang, he is still as witty as ever.
"You're already here, let's meet." Ye Hua said immediately.
Xiao Zhang nodded and went out for a while. Not long after, he took the person to his office and left quickly and wisely, closing the door tightly.
Ye Hua looked at the BBC reporter who was walking towards him. He hadn't seen her for a year, but in Ye Hua's impression, she seemed to have experienced a year of reverse growth and was younger than a year ago.
A bit more beautiful.
"I said you..." Ye Hua just started, but before he could say a few words, Helen, who said nothing, pounced on him like a wolf and a tiger, catching people off guard.
After being stunned for a moment, Ye Hua reacted and immediately became angry. He pressed his backhand on the desk and gave him a severe lesson.
…
Afterwards, there was still a quite clear "m" shaped mark on the desktop of the desk.
After the lesson was over, Ye Hua looked at the female reporter and felt that she had almost rested: "My dear, don't tell me that I came here from another hemisphere just to give me a shot."
"As long as you agree, I don't mind honey coming here often..." Helen, whose face had not yet completely dissipated the blush, said seriously.
"I mind."
"The guy who doesn't understand the charm..."
Ye Hua refused decisively. Just kidding, the way she looked just now, Ye Hua can guarantee that if she agreed, she would definitely fly here in ten and a half months.
It was good to meet him by chance, but it was not good after that. He had no feelings for this BBC female reporter.
And to be honest, Ye Hua even felt that if he had a relationship with her, she would take advantage of him and he would suffer a big loss.
"Someone broke the shocking news about you to me." After being satisfied, Helen took the initiative to change the topic. Ye Hua said indifferently: "There are too many shocking news about me. What are you referring to? For example?"
"For example...three days ago at the Hilton Hotel, your auction revenue exceeded 40 billion US dollars in less than 2 hours. If this is not super exciting, then does the powerful regenerative hormone that can extend life count?" Helen
He raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile.
"Yeah?"
Ye Hua pretended to be surprised, but in fact he had known about it for a long time, and had already expected that it would be impossible to hide it before the auction was held.
Ye Hua didn't feel that this was too difficult. In fact, it was not a bad thing to be exposed. It was also a great way to recruit talents. Now is the time to recruit people. As long as those top scientists in their 70s and 80s are willing to come to Coastline University,
Ye Hua doesn't mind giving them benefits that improve their health or even extend their lives.
"I haven't reported it yet. I feel like someone is trying to harm you." Helen said.
"Report it, you know it, do you think other media won't know it?" Ye Hua looked at her with a smile. It was quite surprising that she came all the way to tell this matter, but that's all.
