Chapter 601 Is this a reasonable thing

?

Upon hearing the news, Xu You and Lin Shi both looked excited.

This not only proves the high accuracy of the quantum computer simulation model, but also brings greater possibility to the topic of rebirth of severed limbs.

"Great, Professor Gao, we can prepare for the next animal experiments. Starting with white mice, and then primates that are closer to humans."

"Okay, Academician Xu, this is all covered by us."

Xu You is not good at the specific operation of medical experiments, but with a professional expert like Gao Mi present, Xu You doesn't have to worry about this.

In the first phase of animal experiments, the experimental team will perform amputations on multiple mice and use previously screened chemical molecule combinations to experiment with the possibility of stem cell reversal and regeneration of amputated limbs.

The reason why we use white mice for experiments first is because mice have many advantages and are very suitable for use as experimental animals.

First of all, mice are small in size and do not take up much space, making them relatively simple to raise.

Secondly, the mice we selected for our experiments are all scientifically trained mice. The differences between individuals are very small, so they are very suitable for scientific controlled experiments.

Of course, an important point is that mice and humans are both mammals, and their genes are extremely similar.

As long as the experiment on mice can be successful, there is a high probability that the same treatment plan can be used on humans.

After careful preparation, the first phase of animal experiments officially began.

For some reason, Xu You felt something strange in his heart when he saw the mice whose limbs were amputated for experiments.

"Lin Shi, tell me, is this method of using mice for experiments really a suitable method?"

"Why, teacher, aren't mice the most suitable species for experiments?"

Lin Shi did not understand what Xu You said, so Xu You had no choice but to continue explaining:

"I don't mean this aspect, I mean, using mice for experiments, is this a natural thing?"

"Teacher, you are not such a virgin, are you? We usually don't have so many emotions when we eat meat."

There is indeed nothing wrong with what Lin Shi said, but Xu You still feels that this is not exactly the same thing.

Xu You thought for a while, but still did not continue to ask.

It would be more appropriate to study such a problem together with Lu Zhiyao.

After the experiment in the evening, Xu You went to pick up Lu Zhiyao and go home with him. On the way, he and Lu Zhiyao discussed the issue that came to mind today.

"Yao Yao, do you think it is reasonable for us to use mice for experiments?"

Hearing Xu You's question, Lu Zhiyao was thoughtful and asked instead:

"Then do you think, if this is unreasonable, why is it unreasonable?"

"To be honest, I can't explain it clearly. I know this kind of thinking is a bit inexplicable, but when I think about it more deeply, I always feel as if there is a cool breeze on my back."

"You mean...are you worried that humans will face a similar fate one day?"

Lu Zhiyao thought about it and suddenly understood what Xu You was worried about.

"Yes. If there is an extraterrestrial race that is far more powerful than us and has the same idea as us, then in their eyes, we will be the same as guinea pigs. How desperate will we be at that time?

"

Thinking of this situation that might happen in the future, Xu You said that he was not worried because it was impossible.

In the universe, there is a high probability that humans are not the only kind of intelligent life, including some unsolved mysteries on the moon. Until now, there is still no clear answer.

"I think this matter can be viewed in different ways from different angles. If emotions are not considered at all, then this universe is about strength. The race with the strongest strength can do whatever they want.

things."

When Lu Zhiyao said this, his expression was very calm.

On earth, humans are undoubtedly such a race, standing at the top of all other creatures in the world and dominating the entire earth.

All human actions are for the benefit of human beings themselves.

Even the so-called actions to protect animals and plants are for the earth's ecosystem to operate more stably and for humans to have a better living environment, rather than just for these animals and plants.

Only those pets will be treated like friends by humans.

At this time, Lu Zhiyao changed the subject.

"However, humans are not emotionless animals. Most humans not only have feelings for humans, but also for living things other than food. Just like the kittens we often feed, we have feelings for them.

There was never any cruel thought."

"So Yaoyao, what is your point of view?"

"As long as we have a clear conscience, we will not do any cruelty to mice except for necessary research. As far as I know, there is a '3R' when we conduct experiments on mice.

Principles, right?”

The 3R principle referred to by Lu Zhiyao, namely "reduce, optimize and replace", is to reduce the number of organisms used in experiments as much as possible and minimize the pain they suffer when it is not necessary.

"Yao Yao, I seem to understand suddenly."

After Lu Zhiyao's advice, Xu You felt a sense of enlightenment again.

"Well, do you have any new ideas?"

"I think that when we become the strongest race, we cannot bully the weak, and we cannot think that everything is justified. Of course, this does not represent the Holy Mother. Necessary eating or experimental behavior is okay, as long as its starting point is not bad.

of."

"More importantly, in order to keep the choice and decision-making power in our own hands, we must become the strongest race and cannot leave our destiny in the hands of other races."

When Xu You thinks about these issues, he is both emotional and rational at the same time, and is not limited to a certain perspective.

"That's right, the so-called benevolence and righteousness are not enough at all, strength is the prerequisite for all of this. And when you have the strongest strength, you must not lose your heart. The tyrannical race will eventually perish.

"

After these thoughts, Xu You's understanding of this issue has improved a lot.

However, this did not affect the process of the entire experiment. In the following time, the experiment continued as usual.

"Academician Xu, we have detected the emergence of pluripotent stem cells responsible for the growth of hind legs in some mice. If everything goes well, these amputated mice will slowly grow new hind legs."

"Well, that's great. I really hope these mice can regain their health."
