Surgery Godfather

After arguing with John Ansen, Morris's mood had been quite low. Despite his two daughters' attempts to persuade him, they kept insisting on having surgery.

The family could not agree, and Morris's indecision made him hesitate to find Song Zimo to sign. Song Zimo had told him to come to him for a signature once he had made up his mind, and that he could ask any questions he had at any time to ensure he fully understood everything before the surgery.

Actually, everything was already clear, with no ambiguities. Professor Yang's surgery plan was very straightforward: separate the two sisters, correct the malformed spine, and then inhibit the defects in the skin and muscle. The donor for the grafts came from skin and muscle cloned in the laboratory using cloning technology.

Because it was all so simple and clear, Morris felt uneasy and dared not make a hasty decision; he felt it was unreal, as if the surgery was sacrificial for an experiment.

The whole preparation for the surgery was different from his expectations. Morris thought it should be like the United States: dozens of top experts, hundreds of participating doctors, all sitting together to repeatedly discuss and study, solving problems through teamwork before finalizing the surgery plan.

But now, everything seemed too simple. Professor Yang sat with a team in front of a computer screen, finalizing the surgery plan just like that—it was incredible.

"Come, let me take you to tour the laboratory here. See what a world-class lab looks like," John Ansen approached Morris again, hoping to broaden his horizons and enhance his understanding.

"Alright, thank you!"

Morris also wanted to clear his head, and John Ansen's invitation was harmless.

"The lab we're going to is one of the world's top stem cell laboratories. The famous Spatial Orientation Gene Theory originated from this lab. It's also the technology for which Professor Yang won the Nobel Prize. Not only I, but the world-renowned medical renaissance man, Professor Manstein, also greatly admires Professor Yang. In fact, you could say that Professor Manstein is half a student of Professor Yang," John Ansen said.

Morris was shocked. Professor Manstein also admired Morris? Also considered half a student of his? This information was valuable for someone accustomed to relying on common sense for judgment.

Because in Morris's common sense, Manstein had become an academic authority he considered reliable. Now that this authority also acknowledged Professor Yang, he felt compelled to follow suit.

As they talked, they had arrived at the Stem Cell Laboratory. The lab took up a whole floor, divided into several sections: laboratory, preparation area, office area, living area, rest area, and so on.

John Ansen had contacted the lab director, Tang Shun, in advance, so upon their arrival, Tang Shun immediately came out to greet them and brought them into the office.

Inside the lab, more than thirty young people were working, dressed very casually, with some wearing shorts and slippers, entirely unlike how one would expect researchers to appear. Morris frowned.

"They only have thirty-something people?"

Morris asked in surprise.

"That's right. Such teams don't need too many people, as some low-tech tasks are handed over to artificial intelligence computers. The team only handles important work, so thirty-something people are enough. Each of these thirty-odd individuals is a world-class doctor," John Ansen explained.

"You might wonder why these people dress so casually. That's the charm of a world-class laboratory. They don't need to dress formally; they can wear whatever feels comfortable to them,"

"They work in a relaxed and free environment."

Led by a doctor, they put on protective gear and entered the lab. There were many transparent cultivators inside, which made Morris pause in awe. It reminded him of the Matrix movie, showing layers of vibrant muscles through transparent containers.

"This is the application of the Spatial Orientation Gene Theory," John Ansen introduced.

Morris leaned closer to the transparent container, eyes wide, as a neurosurgeon not knowing much about the Spatial Orientation Gene Theory. He had only heard about it during Nobel Prize discourse, not realizing how the theory had been practically applied and vividly presented before his eyes.

Cloning human organs in a lab environment—it was such a science fiction concept.

"Is this real? How was it cloned?" Morris asked.

John Ansen answered, "This was cultivated from your daughter's stem cells; you've signed the informed consent forms."

"Oh, I thought it was just an experimental attempt, so I didn't pay much attention. I didn't expect it to be real; it's fascinating," Morris exclaimed repeatedly.

"After your daughters undergo surgery separation, they will have substantial deficits in skin and muscle. Professor Yang can perfectly fill these with the cloned skin and muscle, and further correct their spinal deformities, turning them into normal individuals," John Ansen explained.

"It's truly miraculous!" Morris was already lost for words to describe his excitement.

"They are still looking for other spatial orientation factors, and each discovery means the possibility of using the lab to clone organs. At that point, organ transplants will enter the era of autologous transplants. Any patient needing organ transplants can grow healthy and vibrant organs from a small amount of stem cells in their body for transplant without any rejection reactions," John Ansen added.
