The article "Livers from Unknown Sources", which involved 563 livers of unknown origin, was banned for life by teachers and students of the university, an international journal in the country's core disciplines.
The author is none other than Zheng Shusen, a Nobel laureate from mainland China and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
There has also been a lot of controversy over whether the source of the liver is legal, and the vast array of medical elites don't seem to really keep the Hippocratic Oath, and the question of whether the power oligarchs can abuse their privileges and trample on their lives is now hotly debated, and it is difficult to guarantee that the dirty secrets behind them will not form an industry.
Surgical Affair: The Chain of Interests.
Academician Zheng Shusen is very famous, more famous is that after losing the childhood reading text about "Chinese won the Nobel Prize" prize, Zheng Shusen finally contributed to China's dream in 1998, he won the Nobel Prize in physics for the discovery of the "neutron laser".
But after he became more and more famous, he did something that was easy for ordinary people to question, not because it involved interests and other issues, but because it involved the liver.
In 2019, Academician Zheng Shusen's article on "New Application of Neutrogen Activation Analysis Technology in the Field of Organ Transplantation" in 2019 was banned by the journal "Analytical Chemistry", and the matter was also spread on the Internet.
Although the journal concluded that "there is a problem with this article, we cannot draw a conclusion, and the author, his supervisor and students are banned from submitting it for life", it also exposed the problem that the source of the liver is unknown.
Next, let's take a look at what Zheng Shusen's "neutrogen activation analysis technology" is.
Neutron activation analysis is a technique discovered in the United States and has been put into practice in the 20th century, this technique is made by using the characteristics of atomic nuclei that are easily excited by neutrons to produce high-energy photon rays to analyze matter, and neutron activation analysis can detect more than 60 elements and thousands of compounds, including conventional substances.
At the same time, due to the penetrating and absolutely safe nature of neutrons, it does not affect the structure of the substance itself, etc., which can greatly improve the accuracy of analysis, and this penetration of neutrons plays an important role in the study of biology.
Zheng Shusen wanted to use this technology to apply this technology to organ transplant surgery to analyze the source of organs, and at the same time, he concluded that through neutrogen activation analysis and three-dimensional imaging technology, he obtained the treatment plan for tumor patients with human organ transplantation at Nanjing Medical University in mainland China.
The successful cure of the patient after the operation is done is a good thing on the surface, but the problem behind it is not only the source of the liver, and now there is no conclusive evidence on the sale of organs that has been spread out, but there are also some things such as cracking down on "black trafficking" and so on, so some people have related the liver to this matter.
But the role of the liver in the body is very important: the liver is the largest gland in the human body, and it also belongs to the digestive system, and its location in the human body is in the upper right part of the abdominal cavity;
At the same time, the liver has the ability to isolate toxins, convert various toxic substances in the blood and excrete them as urine, and it can also convert glycogen into glucose for oxidation to supply the body with energy, so its role in the body is extremely important.
Therefore, when the liver is sick and needs to be transplanted, it means that the patient's own liver can no longer play a role in the human body, which also means that the patient's condition has reached a very serious point, and may even affect other organs and their life safety, at this time the patient needs to undergo organ transplantation and so on.
But this technology is now also being used to take the wrong path, as if to be able to trace the source of the liver, but there is a "chain of interests" behind this that people take for granted.
Once it is used for improper surgery, or the fear of being held accountable for the source of the liver, etc., this chain of interests becomes very "bleak".
Medicine is a life-saving product, not a "commodity".
"Treat life as a commodity" is a common thing in life, and many times shareholders will talk about shareholders, and shareholders' affairs often turn very sensitive topics into commodities, and these things are not uncommon.
But if Zheng Shusen really does this, it will involve abuse of privileges in the field of power to trample on life, etc., and this may also involve corruption in hospitals and other issues, and this "chain of interests" will become more and more opaque.
In addition, some people may worry that since the source of this liver cannot be identified, it is not being illegally traded.
In fact, there are more and more patients who are waiting for qualifications because of the need for organ transplants in mainland hospitals, while there are very few donors in the mainland at this time, which will lead to many institutions and hospitals "silently" buying these organs from other places for surgery.
However, the hospital cannot disclose this information, and if the information is disclosed, patients may be frightened by the waiting time and the lack of suitable organs, and choose to leave the hospital, so that the "reputation" of the hospital will decline.
But in this way, the hospital keeps saying "don't buy or sell", but there is no suitable donor, so this has also led many people to question whether the organ transplant has been bought and sold, and furthermore, if it is really bought and sold, it will inevitably involve the power of the hospital's leadership, so this kind of thing is really easy to question.
However, the source of these livers is not public, if it is really legal, then it is easy to take out those real sources legally, so that this "chain of interests" comes out of thin air.
Therefore, there will be a "chain of interests" that will affect the source of the liver to Zheng Shusen's life.
But in fact, not all people sell their lives as commodities, and these lives handed over by doctors for patients are also agreed upon by both parties, and both parties are safe.
Doctors are also "medical ethics", even if the patient buys the organ as a "commodity", the doctor will tell the patient that the patient's life should have a longer road, the patient cannot give up treatment, and the doctor is not a person who goes down the wrong path.
And some people have become "treating life as a commodity", whether this is also because of the "abuse of privilege" in the "field of power" and other issues, this is a later story.
Medical Ethics and Morality.
It seems that medicine embarking on this "road of no return" has led to this problem of medical ethics and medical ethics, and if it is not for the pursuit of profits, why did you cross this "red line".
Aristotle deliberately left behind the so-called "Hippocratic Oath", in which he said: "As long as we can cure the sick, we should regard saving people as the first law of life."
We must not harm the patient, whether he is a nobleman or a commoner, whether he is a relative or a stranger."
Aristotle's words can be said to be very warm, but they set an example for many doctors in life, and at the same time laid the cornerstone for medical ethics and morality in the future.
But it is not "wrong" that Aristotle is not to blame for these technologies such as medical treatment and organ transplantation, simply because the phrase "those who know how to use these techniques do not have the most basic ethics and morals" is simply "making excuses".
Doctors sometimes make mistakes, but only this fault is irreparable, so the requirements for doctors will become very high, so these doctors, if they really want to become good doctors, not only let patients have a sense of security and trust, but also make patients feel warm, adhere to a "into life" attitude.
At the same time, doctors should also bear in mind their own "mission" and think about their patients everywhere, and the "ethics" of doctors are also very important in the hands of students who come to some medical centers, etc., in order to perform organ transplants and other treatments during very busy times.
However, in daily life, the attitude towards others and patients and yourself is also very important, in the medical environment, if the patient makes a mistake in the work due to poor qualifications and other problems, then as a doctor, you can face the patient This attitude is very different, and at the same time, you should never forget that you are saving lives and treating diseases.
At the same time, humanity should be respected, so that the interests and lives of patients can be at stake.
We can discuss with these doctors about the origin of the liver, and at the same time, we should clarify the doubts about these "chains of interests" one by one.
At the same time, we still cannot assert that there is a "sale" of organ transplants, but it does not mean that there will not be such a thing, we should establish a more fair and transparent donation and hospital allocation mechanism, and strengthen the supervision of illegal transactions.
epilogue
Medicine, of course, is more important doctors, they are the elite of the medical field from all over the world, they have strong technical ability, and they are meticulous to patients, but they should dare to take responsibility in the spirit of humanity, care for people, the core point of a doctor, and at the same time, while curing diseases, it is also more important to the dignity of human life.
