Medical science's tremendous progress had been built on the sacrifices of some people.
It was important to note that what was being discussed here was "tremendous progress." If one did not take into account the explosive development of medical science over such a short period, then there might not have been so many sacrifices—and most of those sacrifices would likely have been animals.
But if one wanted to achieve breakthrough development in a particular field within an extremely short time, then enough people had to be sacrificed! No matter what kind of science it was, the core of progress was trial and error: finding the correct choice among countless wrong ones.
How could one conduct trial and error quickly?
By methods within the limits currently permitted by law and morality?
First establish a theory, create a test product, and then proceed through layer after layer of animal testing before moving on to clinical trials? If one was lucky, it would take several years. If one was unlucky, it would take decades.
But live human experiments were different!
A researcher might suddenly have a bizarre idea—
"I fucking think this could work," and then he would not need to go through theoretical verification, specific laboratory production and synthesis, or further research into various aspects before applying it to animal experiments.
He could directly produce the idea and then apply it to human experiments as quickly as possible.
If it succeeded, there would be applause and cheers. Everyone would applaud the successful person and present him with flowers, while the participants in the human experiments would also become a vivid chapter in the development of medical science.
Some might even leave their names behind!
If it failed, then at worst, a few live subjects would be lost. But failure would not only
