Some time ago, like the two sides will jointly carry out the human body "removable nipple" news quite catch people eyes, seems to be Mary Shelley in 1818 novel frankenstein, describe fantasy is about to become a reality. Public opinion, in the part of the human science of impending feel happy "progress", others continue to from aspects such as scientific, ethical, regulatory, legal question "removable nipple surgery" for the human body, others view, feel really no ready-made regulations, law can depend on. Will be an immature, high-risk technology for the human body, it sounds very smacks of "science and great leap forward", we really can do? In fact should not be so pessimistic.

Scientific research should be bound by ethics, their scientific research ability of increasingly powerful, scientists, in particular, should not forget their social responsibility. When foreign "removable nipple" should be explored in the clinical, reported for human body, from many medical stand out in our country, the clear sound, detailed clarify the procedure to the public in technology and the problems facing ethical level. These ideas can help the public rational view of the scientific development.

In the technology were immature, stop "removable nipple surgery" for the human body, from the micro management level is not can't do anything about it. Not long ago, the competent department of health in China down the third class medical technology for examination and approval authority, medical institutions can be accordingly to shoulder the responsibility, the main body of medical technical regulation for new technology to carry out the set the bottom line. At the same time, to carry out such clinical technology also need hospital medical ethics committee approval, ethics committee should also to take responsibility, when a similar "removable nipple" this kind of new technology in were immature, used for clinical purposes, in particular, to stick to ethical principles. "Removable nipple" also reminds the industry, should strengthen the construction of medical ethics committee of medical institutions, gives the commission more power, make its real play a proper role.

The "removable nipple" will be used in the body, after a period of time after the fermentation, some scholars denial, done soon proposed previously announced the operation time, place, or even who will do the surgery, now is still uncertain, cooperation between the doctors and also only stay in research stage. Although the public does not have too much professional knowledge of medical science, but through the scientists explain, them it is not difficult to make rational judgment. It can be said that rational public opinion will be for those who the best sniper "science great leap forward" hype.

It is reported that the national health departments for the management of the new technology of medical clinical research method is to ask for some advice. The perfection of regulation, of course, is good news, however, in view of the technical management will always lags behind the technology development. For the development of the technology bring benefits to mankind, at the end of the day also need to common sense, ethics, conscience to remain.
