As soon as the Edwards arrived, the project could officially enter the actual research and development stage, rather than just exist and be theoretically conceived.

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 also need a lead leader.

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 its answers to some questions from the outside world.

The human cryothermal hibernation technology has caused widespread controversy in society, and it is inseparable to support and oppose the quarrel.

In the convening of this press conference, the disclosure of technical details is secondary, and Ye Hua's main purpose is to make an official response to the controversy in the outside world.

The press conference was held in a multimedia hall of the university, where more than 200 well-known domestic and foreign media organizations were present, and the press conference entered the Q&A session after 20 minutes.

……

Reporter: "Thank you to the speaker, Coastline University has made a world-leading breakthrough in the field of cryogenic biological cryopreservation technology, although there are many cryonics institutions in the world, but few medical institutions are involved, what is Mr. Ye's opinion on this?" ”

Ye Hua: "I think cryopreservation is just a new business opportunity, not medicine, and human cryopreservation is the ultimate goal of status medicine, but at present, human cryopreservation in many cryonics institutions in the world is still mainly a commercial behavior or attempt. They are only responsible for 'freezing' but not 'awakening', and at present, cryonics institutions in the world can only operate freezing and storage procedures, and there is no precedent for 'awakening', and it has not been put on the agenda. ”

Indeed, in today's world, not counting the hibernation programs of coastline universities, in addition to the successful freezing of cells or early embryos, freezing of experimental animals such as flies and fish, and no precedent has been heard of for the success of awakening, let alone awakening hibernators.

After a pause, he added with a confident smile: "We may be close to breaking through the 'last mile' and achieving 'resurrection', and we will officially open the cryopreservation business in the near future, and putting this technology into commercial operation is something we are constantly trying to do." ”

……

Reporter: "The development of human cryopreservation technology has put forward significant requirements for the existing law, and this alternative 'resurrection from the dead' has gone beyond the existing legal framework. According to the new version of the Measures for the Ethical Review of Biomedical Research Involving Humans issued by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, Article 7 of which clearly stipulates that medical and health institutions shall not carry out biomedical research involving humans in order to establish an ethics committee. This kind of surgery has 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 be terminated, what is Mr. Ye's opinion on this? ”

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 is the "Alco Life Extension Fund" from the United States, which is also one of the largest cryonics institutions in the world, and the first cryonics institution in China is also from the domestic Yinfeng Bioengineering Group Co., Ltd. The person in the law you are asking about should mean a natural person, excluding fetuses and remains. ”

"Human cryopreservation technology is a new technology for the development of medical science and technology, which will also involve bioethics, violating the natural laws of life cycle, and so on. However, as an emerging technology for human beings' pursuit of life, we cannot stifle the development of a new technology, in line with the principle of 'law is free without prohibition', it is not illegal, if the future cryopreservation technology matures, it really realizes the 'resurrection from the dead', then the human ethical and legal system should undergo major changes. ”

……

Reporter: "For human cryopreservation, is the frozen person alive or dead? Is the frozen person a sick body or a dead body? ”

Ye Hua: "I think that from the perspective that the main brain is not dead and there is hope for treatment in the future, the preservation of human cryothermal hibernation should belong to the category of treatment. Under this cryogenic state, the preserved individual should be regarded as a vegetative person with no capacity for civil conduct, and his legal rights and obligations can be resolved with reference to the existing guardianship system. ”

"If the death judgment cannot be reached, then the disposal of the human body in a frozen state cannot be regarded as the disposal of the body, and in this case, the disposal of the body of the preserved person may face the legal risk of intentional homicide."

……

Reporter: "How to confirm the alternative 'resurrection from the dead' of frozen people in the law?" ”

Ye Hua: "At present, more than 1,700 terminally ill patients in the world have joined the freezing program, and they will be awakened again after the development of medical skills and the ability to cure diseases in the future, which has given birth to a number of cryogenic technology service companies in this area. ”

"I believe that the 'awakening' here is the result of the successful treatment after death that is determined in law, and its related social relations and property relations should be handled in accordance with the general principles of civil law."

……

Reporter: "Can you further disclose some of the latest progress in human cryopreservation technology?" ”

Ye Hua: "As far as the technical problem is no longer a problem, we will continue to wake up the practice, as far as I am concerned, I firmly believe that the 'static cryostorage' technology is 100% sure, and we will witness the arrival of this great moment for the world." ”

……

Reporter: "If the technology wants to go out of the R&D laboratory, it must be inseparable from the promotion of commercialization, can Mr. Ye elaborate on the cost of cryonics technology?" ”

Ye Hua: "According to the comparison of existing hibernation and freezing service companies or institutions in the world, it costs a lot of money, mainly because the resources required by traditional cryopreservation are huge, which also means that the cost is high. ”

"I've got a more specific statistic here."

"Liquid nitrogen tank, 400,000; programmed cooling equipment, 400,000; extracorporeal bypass machine, 1 million; Ventilator, 80,000 ......"

"These are all data in 2015, if you calculate today's inflation rate will only be higher, every time you do freezing, the cost of cryoprotectants alone is two or three hundred thousand, as well as the cost of other materials for surgery, etc., and after the human body enters the state of cryopreservation, it needs to be automatically replenished with liquid nitrogen every ten days to half a month, which costs about 50,000 yuan per year."

"I would like to add that the data I mentioned above are all domestic costs, and in fact, if you want to carry out human cryopreservation in the United States, the cost is not low. The Arizona-based Alcor Life Fund's freezing business currently costs $230,000 for whole body cryotherapy and about $80,000 for brain nervous system cryopics, with membership dues payable annually, semi-annually, extremely, and monthly, with the final cost reaching millions of dollars. ”

"It's inevitable that technology will go from scratch to the early stages of commercial application, but I believe it will be cheaper in the future."

……

At the press conference, Ye Hua dealt with the mainstream media at home and abroad one by one, and shortly after the press conference, Ye Hua had just returned to his office when a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

"Boss, a reporter came to visit, do you want to see me?" It was Xiao Zhang Heming who came in, he was used to calling the boss, and he would only call the principal in public, which was not a big problem.

But here's the problem...... Ye Hua didn't understand Xiao Zhang, who had always been witty: "There are more reporters from all over the world who want to visit me, do I have to meet them, and you still have to come to me in person to ask this kind of question?" ”

"Uh...... The boss is the British female journalist. Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment and explained again.

British female journalists?

Helen Jones.

Ye Hua immediately remembered the name in his mind, and then a rather sexy figure appeared.

Well, it's wrong to blame Xiao Zhang, he is still as witty as ever.

"It's all here, so let's meet." Ye Hua said immediately.

Xiao Zhang nodded and went out for a while, and it didn't take long to bring people to his office, and left quickly with great interest, and closed the door tightly.

Ye Hua looked at the BBC reporter in front of him who was walking towards him, he hadn't seen him for a year, but in Ye Hua's impression, she seemed to have ushered in a year of reverse growth, and she was a little younger and more beautiful than a year ago.

"I said you're ......" Ye Hua had just spoken, and before he could say a few words, Helen, who was speechless, directly pounced on him like a wolf and a tiger, which caught people off guard.

After being stunned for a moment, Ye Hua, who reacted, immediately became angry, and pressed it on the office desktop with his backhand and taught him a hard lesson.

……

Afterwards, there was still a fairly clear "M" mark on the top of the desk.

After the lesson, Ye Hua looked at the female reporter and felt that she was almost rested: "Honey, don't tell me to come from the other hemisphere just to give a pao." ”

"As long as you agree, I don't mind the honey who comes often," said Helen, whose blush had not yet completely dissipated.

"I don't mind."

"Puzzled guy..."

Ye Hua refused very decisively, just kidding, what she looked like just now Ye Hua dared to promise that if she agreed, she would definitely fly here in ten days and half a month.

It's good to meet, but it's not good to be over, and I don't have any feelings for this BBC female reporter.

And to be honest, Ye Hua even felt that having a relationship with her was because she took a big advantage and suffered a big loss.

"Someone broke the news about you to me." After being satisfied, Helen took the initiative to change the topic, and Ye Hua said indifferently: "There are too many fierce materials about me, which ones are you referring to?" For example? ”

For example...... Three days ago at the Hilton, you earned more than $40 billion in less than 2 hours, and if that's not a big deal, is it a powerful hormone that can sustain life? Helen raised her eyebrows lightly and said with a smile.

"Really?"

Ye Hua pretended to be surprised, in fact, he had known it for a long time, and he had already expected that it would be impossible to hide it before the auction was held.

In this regard, Ye Hua did not feel too tricky, in fact, it is not a bad thing to be exposed, this is also a great advantage to recruit talents, now is the time to employ people, as long as those top scientists in their seventies and eighties are willing to come to Coastline University, Ye Hua does not mind giving them the treatment of improving their bodies and even extending their lives.

"I haven't reported it yet, and I feel like someone wants to do it against you." Helen said.

"Newspaper, do you know, do you think other media will not know?" Ye Hua looked at her with a smile, it was quite surprising that she had come from thousands of miles to tell her about it, but that's all, at most two shots, no more.
