Conan: I am definitely not a kid

Shirley was stunned.

Mori Yura asked: "Do you know the behavioral tendencies of this kind of patient?"

Shirley nodded. Although she had no actual experience with it, in the required ethics course in medicine, the old professor specifically emphasized this type of issue: "Compared to other patients, they are more willing to try risky treatments."

"Yes, they will choose to gamble even if they know that drugs have the risk of causing illness or even death, because even if they don't take drugs, they will still die."

"..." Shirley argued: "But even so, tampering with clinical data is too...!"

"If you don't falsify data and find a way to pass the drug regulatory test, patients who need treatment will not be able to use the medicine." Yuro Mori interrupted her: "Everyone is happy, Shirley, the patients get treatment and the pharmaceutical companies get it. Proceeds, testing companies get bribes and no one asks questions."

"Even those new drugs that can be said to have failed in research and development and are so risky that they cannot pass clinical testing even if they are faked, are regarded by countless patients as life-saving straw. In order to become volunteers, they waste their connections, spend huge sums of money, and even kneel down to beg... …These patients have long accepted the outcome of death, but still want to make a final struggle.”

Shirley had nothing to say, she knew these were the truth.

For these desperate patients, even the faintest hope is their hope.

Mori Yura said: "You know that if the higher-ups insist on conducting human experiments, your consent is not actually needed, right?"

"...Yeah." Even if she didn't know it before, after this incident, Shirley has completely understood this fact.

"It's the same outside, Shirley, the decision-making power of clinical trials is never in the hands of researchers. Pharmaceutical companies are the sellers and patients are the buyers. As long as they have this demand, the transaction can never be prohibited. In order to be able to buy and sell legally If the results of animal experiments are not satisfactory, they will forge the results that meet the requirements to enter the clinic. If the clinical test data is not up to standard, they will forge the test data to pass the drug regulatory standards."

"As for illegal purchasing methods, let alone them."

"Human experimentation occurs almost everywhere in the world. The only difference is whether it is covered by a legal shell or not. When drug research reaches a certain stage, this is almost inevitable."

Shirley listened to Mori Yuro's story in silence. She knew these were facts, but she just didn't want to accept them.

"The only way to stop it is to make drugs with better effects and lower side effects." Yuro Mori looked at Shirley and said, "Just like you wanted to stop human experiments before, the most effective way is to come up with new improvements. plan."

"Shirley, I hate organizations and don't want to conduct human experiments. These ideas will not be formed overnight. As a person who is meeting you for the first time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to influence you with a few words."

"But there is something I hope to teach you today."

Shirley looked up at Mori Yuro. Her long hair was meticulously tied behind her head in accordance with hygienic standards. She smelled of disinfectant spray used by the organization. At this moment, her image was similar to what Shirley had seen in the laboratory in the past. The teachers and seniors overlapped.

Mori Yura said: "I hope you can distinguish these two things."

"Maybe in your opinion, the organization is the culprit that forced you to conduct human experiments, and the two are closely related to you."

"But in fact, only a small part of the operation of the organization is related to drug research, and even without the organization, human experiments still exist. The connection between the two is not as big as you think."

Even if drug research is more important than anything else to the top management, they will always be in the minority. The black organization has grown to its current scale, and the progress of drug research can only be used as a bargaining chip, not as a real force.

"Preventing human experiments by delaying the progress of research..." Mori Yuro paused and did not comment on this method. He just said, "Shirley, you have mistaken the target of your struggle. You thought that this kind of thing would happen because of the organization. I think that as long as I deceive the organization, I can delay the time limit, but you have also seen the consequences of doing so."

Shirley bit her lower lip. She knew she might not be able to delay it for too long, but she never expected such a tragic ending.

"What you have to fight against is the cause of human experimentation and the greed of human nature - longing for your own immortality and the death of your enemies. This desire will not be extinguished because of your inaction. If you want to fight against it, you must learn to control it. It, use it, always be one step ahead of others and be the one in control of the situation.”

If you want organizations to stop meaningless human experiments, you need to come up with plans that are more rewarding and less risky, give those people the expectations they want, and let them endure for their own desires - commonly known as hanging them.

Mori Yura raised his chin towards her: "When you sit in my position, you can only do experiments that you think are valuable when you think the values ​​are safe and the conditions are suitable."

Just like Mori Yuro just promised Shirley to stop this human experiment without reporting to the superiors. She has the power to make this decision.

Shirley's mind was in confusion. Was Madeira asking her to choose between two options? If you want to prevent human experimentation, do you need to change your past ways of avoiding organizations, increase your own value as soon as possible, and gain more power?

But that requires producing more results and showing more value, that is, first creating more of the poison they want for the organization.

Shirley has always been pessimistic. Because she knows her own value, she does not expect to be able to leave the organization one day like her sister, but this is two different things from actively catering to the needs of the organization.

Shirley understood rationally that this was Moriyura's words to get her to cooperate with the organization and complete the assigned research tasks. However, the clear scene that Moriyura could decide whether to conduct human experiments was really attractive. she.

After a while, she asked: "Is this how you convinced yourself to conduct human experiments?"

Moriyuro paused for a moment: "I have always supported human experimentation, Shirley, you are the only one who needs to convince yourself."

"But you just said..." Shirley shook her head vigorously, thinking of what Mori Yuro had just said, "No, I have seen too many researchers in the organization, and none of them can think like you."

Just like a professional killer's attitude towards human life is completely different from that of ordinary people, a researcher who doesn't care about human life will not be able to truly understand Shirley's thoughts even if he knows about her resistance to human experimentation.

Even with her confusing words, Yuro Mori was the first person to come into contact with her true thoughts.

"I don't believe it, Madeira." Under the violent fluctuation of her thoughts, Shirley even forgot the honorific. "People who have no idea of ​​stopping human experiments cannot say such things. You must have thought about saving them."

Shirley looked straight at Mori Yuro: "...Same as me."
