Tell mommy, daddy is kneeling again

Du Shaoheng fell ill.

I got terminal illness.

After Li Yufei found out about this, her heart felt like a thorn had been pierced into her heart.

Du Ruo said that when the doctor explained the illness to her, he explained to her the cause of Du Shaoheng's illness.

Generally speaking, this kind of disease is mostly a genetic disease, but the Du family's family does not carry this kind of disease, it may be the damage of brain tissue and nerve cells caused by traumatic brain injury.

This is a probabilistic event because the disease is rare and therefore, there is currently no cure for the disease.

Li Yufei suddenly thought of someone.

……

The next day.

Concubine Li Yu rejected the morning meeting in the morning and made an appointment with President Lu through the secretary.

Land from.

He was met by Li Yufei when she was studying abroad. He graduated from Johns Hopkins University, majoring in critical care medicine. The Lu family wholly owned and controlled a number of private hospitals, and also established his own research laboratory under his name.

Mrs. Lu, in the reception room.

The secretary arranged for her to sit and wait for Lu Li to arrive at the company.

Lu Li usually has a very busy schedule. On the one hand, he needs to manage the medical research laboratory, and on the other hand, he also needs to manage the huge Lu Corporation, so he is always very busy.

After half an hour.

Lu Li finally arrived.

He pushed open the door, and when he saw Concubine Li Yu, he smiled slightly: "Concubine Yu?"

He walked towards Concubine Li Yu, stretched out his hand, and hugged her tightly: "Concubine Yu, long time no see. The last time we met was in Los Angeles."

Li Yufei also hugged her back, "It's been a long time. How are you doing recently?"

Lu Li: "Still the same, very busy, how about you?"

Li Yufei: "Me too."

She raised her wrist, looked at the time, and asked, "Are you free at noon? I'll treat you to dinner."

Lu Li glanced at her suspiciously: "It's rare for you to take the initiative to come to me, is there something wrong?"

Li Yufei couldn't help smiling: "Mr. Lu, you really know me very well, and you guessed it right."

Lu Li said, "Okay, since it's rare for you to invite me to dinner, then I'll be disrespectful."

Concubine Li Yu made reservations for the restaurant in advance.

The two entered the private room, Li Yufei ordered the food, and the waiter exited the door, only then did she officially cut into the topic.

"Lu Li, you are a top student who graduated from Johns Hopkins University and studied under Professor Guan Xiangdong. I have a medical condition that I need to ask you about. Do you know... spinocerebellar degeneration?"

Lu Li said, "I know, what's wrong?"

Li Yufei: "I want to know, is there a one-in-ten-thousand possibility of curing this disease? Even one in a hundred thousand, one in a million."

Long ago, many cancers were also terminal.

But with the advancement of modern medical science, many cancers have also been conquered.

Capital controls medicine.

The medical industry is a rigid demand of human beings.

Hospitals and pharmaceuticals are huge markets, and they are also profiteering industries.

Therefore, in order to make money, capitalists will invest in the establishment of research laboratories and invest in research and development for diseases.

Whether those doctors or professors need research funds and capital investment, they can just meet their research and development needs.

It is precisely because of this that many diseases had no hope of being cured in the past, but now they are slowly being overcome by modern medicine.

Money can turn the devil around.

The terminal illness of some diseases is not due to the backwardness of modern science, but because it is a rare disease, capitalists are unwilling to invest in research and development costs for rare diseases.

Fewer people are sick, which means that the profitable market for this disease is limited.

Other diseases may affect millions of people every year, so capitalists can earn medical expenses for these millions of people.

But some diseases have an incidence rate of one in [-] or one in a million, which is too rare. Therefore, it is not profitable for capitalists, so they are unwilling to invest in research and development.

Concubine Li Yu thought about it all night, she didn't want to give up on Du Shaoheng.

She thought of a medical research laboratory under Lu Li's name, and she wanted to consider investing, even if it was hundreds of millions or billions, she would not hesitate to do so.

Lu Li: "Spinocerebellar degeneration..."

He frowned slightly: "How do you know about this disease?"

This is a rare disease, and ordinary people may have never heard of it.

Li Yufei said: "My..."

She paused in the middle of her speech, "A friend of mine got this disease and said it couldn't be cured. I don't believe it. Lu Li, didn't you tell me before that modern medicine is actually very advanced, as long as you are willing to invest in research and development costs , Many diseases can be overcome. I remember that you set up a medical research laboratory, and you managed a very powerful research and development team. "

Lu Li pondered for a moment, and had no choice but to interrupt her: "Concubine Yu, do you know... are nerve cells permanent cells?"

Li Yufei: "I don't know..."

She is not a medical professional and therefore does not know what permanent cells are.

Lu Li explained: "The so-called permanent cells are a kind of non-dividing cells. There are many cells in our human body, and many cells can be regenerated and can divide and replicate. However, once permanent cells are damaged, they will permanently Sexual deficiency cannot be regenerated. And neuronal cells, once they die from the moment of birth, will not regenerate the same cells to replace them. Spinocerebellar degeneration is a degenerative disease of nerve cells. The earlier the onset, the more severe the symptoms. "

Concubine Li Yu heard it a bit obscurely: "I don't understand very well, what you said is non-renewable, it is..."

Lu Li: "This disease is a terminal illness, a terminal illness in the true sense."

After a pause, he said, "Unless you do cell cloning. But cloning is illegal in many countries."

Many medical organizations in the world are opposed to cloning, and have extremely strict regulations on cloning technology, and even many researches are explicitly prohibited by the laws of various countries.

Lu Li said: "You know, 20 years ago, there was a professor in country m who successfully cloned dopamine nerve cells. But cell cloning involves too many rules and regulations, and... this technology is still in the conservative range. In short , there is currently no hope of a cure for this disease.”

After a pause, he asked, "Is that friend very important to you?"

Li Yufei pursed her red lips slightly.

She raised her eyes and looked into Lu Li's eyes: "It's important, it's very important...it's someone I...can't lose."

Lu Li doubted, "Is it... Du Shaoheng?"

Li Yufei didn't speak any more.

Lu Li rubbed his eyebrows: "Sorry, this is really bad news."

He knew about the past between Li Yufei and Du Shaoheng, and also knew how irreplaceable Du Shaoheng was in Li Yufei's heart.

Although the two had broken up long ago, he didn't know the reason for the breakup, and he didn't ask.

Li Yufei said: "Is there really no way to cure it?"

Lu Li shook his head.

Li Yufei: "Can the cloning technology you mentioned just now be able to treat this disease?"
