Chapter 312: Experimental subjects and empathy

   Todd, sitting on the throne of the Audience Hall, carefully looked at the report in his hand, and said without raising his head: "You have done this soul experiment nearly seventy times?"

Wayne, sitting in a chair, replaced the filthy robe he used to wear. His appearance was obviously cleaned up. He respectfully said to Todd: "Your Majesty, after you left Muxi University last time, I spent It took three days to sort out all the data on hand. Due to the length of the report, what you saw was only a part of all the experiments."

   Todd flipped through the report in his hand and gestured to Huggins beside him. Later, two cups of warm mead with a plate of deep-fried noodle crisps were brought in front of Terrence and Wayne.

   "In your experiment, there are old people and children, as well as men and women." Todd paused for a while, then continued: "There are also all kinds of animals."

   Wayne nodded and said: "Yes, in order to compare whether there are differences and changes in the souls of different creatures, I have conducted at least ten experiments on each creature to ensure that the data error is minimized."

   Todd turned to the last page of the report, read it three times, and finally said: "Your conclusion is really interesting."

   Wayne touched his palm and said excitedly: "I think that at the moment of death, something must have been released, perhaps that is the essence of the soul."

Todd read the original text of the report word by word: "This kind of matter is invisible and intangible. It can trigger some tiny particles, change the mass and energy, and "escape" in a short period of time. The underground room is meters deep and disappears in a fixed direction."

   Terrence took a sip of honey milk wine, and couldn't help but vomit: "This is simply a fantasy!"

Wayne ignored the ridicule of the old scholar, but seriously said: "In my experiments, I found that the more intelligent creatures, the greater the changes in mass and energy at the time of death. For example, three days ago. An old man in the immigration area, at the moment of his death, his body weight suddenly lost three grams, and the magnetic field indicator also showed a deviation of ±1.5."

Terrence closed his eyes and smiled bitterly: "The loss of body weight may be due to the evaporation of water in the body; the deflection of the magnetic field may be caused by metal materials. The results of your experiments, there is no way to explain the concretization of the soul. ."

   Wayne shook his head vigorously and argued: "At first I thought it was evaporation and metal, but after repeated experiments, I found more and more surprising agreement when all the subjects died."

"The higher the level of education, the greater the age of death, and the richer the life experience of the creatures. When they die, the more they lose weight and the greater the deflection magnetic field. From the beginning to the present, the results of dozens of people's experiments have proved this. A conclusion. In contrast, when animals die, except for creatures with elementary intelligence such as orangutans and apes, no other species will cause changes in mass and magnetic fields."

   Terrence covered his forehead with his hand, and said helplessly: "Wayne Dunlop, these don't explain much."

   "Wayne, I think your experiment is very interesting." Todd said, everyone was surprised.

   Terrence widened his eyes, looked at Todd, and stammered: "Your Majesty, you...you don't really think that the results of his experiment are valid..."

   Todd waved his hand: "I didn't admit the results of this experiment, I just said that this experiment was very interesting."

   Wayne straightened his waist and said excitedly: "Your Majesty! Do you mean to support my experiment?!"

   Unexpectedly, Todd shook his head slightly.

   The king raised Wayne’s report and said solemnly: "I invite you two to come today. In addition to confirming the report data, the most important thing is to talk about using humans as experimental subjects."

   After hearing Todd's words, Terrence immediately agreed: "I don't object to using animals for this experiment, but using humans to do this is a little bit beyond the bottom line."

   Todd's next sentence made Terrence stunned again.

   "I am not opposed to human experiments, but it should be distinguished from animal experiments, and this type of experiment should have strict prerequisites in terms of academic ethics."

Speaking of his experiment, Wayne retorted: "I don't understand the difference between the two. If you look at the doctrine of the Bible, animals and humans are the same as God’s people, and there is no difference in the value of the two in life. ; If judged by the yardstick of truth, animals have contributed a lot of data in academic experiments, why can’t humans do it?”

   Hearing Wayne's words, Terrence was speechless for a while, and the latter looked at the thin, tall and frail scholar, shaking his head and sighing.

   Todd heard the debate between the two, slowly closed the report, thought for a while, and said to Wayne: "Have you ever eaten pork?"

   "Yes, Your Majesty, I have eaten."

   "So what about beef?"

   "I have eaten too."

   Todd stared into Wayne's eyes, and said in a heavy tone, "What about human flesh?"

   The latter was stunned, shook his head and said, "...no...never."

   Todd leaned forward: "Then I will change the question. If you know that there is a person who loves to eat human flesh, how would you react?"

   Wayne frowned, his voice getting smaller and smaller: "I think I will curse him, even beat him, don't warn others to stay away from this person."

   "Then if you meet someone who loves beef, what will you do?"

   "How to do it? I don't think I can do anything..."

Todd patted the report with his hand, and calmly said: "On the road of pursuing the truth, using his own kind as experimental objects. The fear in the human heart."

   Wayne heard this, looked at Master Terrence next to him, and asked Todd: "Your Majesty, we don't understand what you said."

   Todd recalled that when he was studying in graduate school in his previous life, in the "Science Ethics" class, the old professor with white beard and hair talked about the psychological paradox in life research.

"Looking at the entire world, among so many species, only humans have the most complete intellectual and moral system. All of this is inseparable from a trait in humans. It is called "empathy" (Latin Text: empatheia).” Looking at Terrence and Wayne, still looking confused, Todd continued to explain: “Empathy refers to the ability of human beings to experience other similar ideas when they are engaged in social activities. And I am willing to empathize, analyze and deal with problems from the perspective of others."

"Just take what we just said, using animals and humans as experimental objects. People with low empathy think that humans should be used as experimental objects for academic research just like animals; empathy is moderate. People think that animals can be used as experimental objects, but humans cannot; and people with high empathy, even think that animals have emotions, should not be used as experimental objects."

Todd looked at the thoughtful appearances of several people in the hall, and said softly: "The lower the empathy, the easier it is to commit cruel and serious behaviors to the same kind. Although they can get in touch more conveniently The nature of things, but it can also easily arouse public anger and even attack."

   Wayne suddenly made a questioning voice at this time: "The inquiry into the nature of life requires a lot of human research. Does this so-called empathy not hinder academic progress?"

"That's a good question!" Todd put down the report in his hand, walked between Terrence and Wayne, and said slowly: "Empathy is a double-edged sword for academics. Empathy is too high. When conducting experiments and researches, scholars will inevitably look forward and backward and fearful; while scholars with too low empathy abandon all humanity and morality on the road of pursuing truth, and explore from the perspective of pure interest. Unknown things often lead to catastrophic consequences.” (For example, Fritz Haber’s mustard gas)

   Todd paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Wayne: "So, the biggest problem for a scholar is how to keep his empathy at a relatively neutral level in academic research and scientific ethics."

For this kind of thinking involving the direction of scientific ethics, Wayne from the Middle Ages still could not fully accept: "So what about war? Is it true that in a life-and-death war, we must uphold the so-called empathy and ignore the possibility of bringing Is national strength advanced technology?"

   Hearing the word war, Todd's eyes dimmed, and he said in a painful tone: "Water is about 70% of the human body. Do you know how this conclusion came about?"

   Everyone present glanced at each other and shook their heads.

"A group of frenzied beasts on the battlefield, under the guise of academic research, dried dozens of people alive, and got this result." Todd's eyes flashed resentment and rage, and the skin under his clothes faintly grew scales: "War. It is the ugliest, but also the most helpless thing in this world. The death and destruction that fills our eyes every day is enough to turn anyone into a demon..."

Todd stared into Wayne's eyes: "Wayne Dunlop, this is what I want to tell you. Our country is at war, but that doesn't mean we have to be evil spirits. Your soul is experimenting. In my opinion, it is a very valuable subject. But using money to force those who are destitute to betray their death and let them die in humiliation and sorrow. Your behavior has touched the bottom line of empathy among the general public. ."

   Wayne clenched his teeth and pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. But as long as my experiment can be carried out smoothly, I don't recommend to carry these infamy."

Todd tapped his temple with the fingers of his right hand, with an expression of hatred for iron and steel, "Wayne, you didn't understand what I meant. What I want to say is ~lightnovelpub.net~ you don't need to use it at all. Money is used to force others to participate in the experiment. In fact, you can find volunteers and let them take the initiative to join your experiment."

   Terrence stood up in surprise: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, someone will voluntarily join this absurd experiment?"

Todd nodded: "In the world I know, some people are willing to donate their bodies for medical research; some people are willing to donate their organs after death to save those who need them. And now, Twilight There are nearly two thousand scholars in the West City who yearn for the truth. They just ask others to record the moment of their death. How can no one try?"

   Terrence opened his mouth wide: "Donating the body and organs? Are you true? In another world, is there such an incredible thing?"

   Todd smiled and nodded and said, "Wayne, I agree that your experiment will continue, but the premise is to completely decouple sacred academics from vulgar money, and abide by certain standards of academic ethics."

   Wayne said embarrassedly: "But your Majesty, I'm really not sure, whether anyone will voluntarily participate in my experiment."

Todd returned to his seat, picked up the report with his hand, shook in the air, and said loudly: "Use your data, use your report, use your academic enthusiasm and pursuit of truth to speak and publicize, and tell people Death is not a terrible thing, the secrets of the spiritual world may be unlocked in your hands!"
