Is it safe and effective?
Tran, JL (2015) assumed brain transplantation is possible, some express concern that brain transplantation using bioprinted brains would risk losing that individual’s identity and personality by memory loss, character, psychological development, and brain-body history. The counterargument would be that bioprinting solves the current organ shortage in organ transplantation, for which the benefits might outweigh the potential risks.
Furthermore, bioprinting “ability to build customized human anatomical parts has pervasive appeal in medical device markets especially in economically weak and war-torn regions where it addresses high demand for prosthetic and other medical devices.
Currently, there is no official publication

    Pros And Cons: The Legalization Of Organ Transplants

    Part A Usually to be able to be eligible for a heart transplant, possible recipients would: • Have to be in good health, besides from the heart failure • Have to be most likely to die without undergoing the transplant • Have to be able to handle the drug treatments and examinations that would follow on after the transplant • Have to be unsuitable for other therapies • Most likely be 70 or younger (Criteria in order from 1-5, 1 being the most important) 1. Most likely to die without undergoing transplant; I think this is the most important because of obvious reasons; they’ll die if they don’t receive the heart transplant. 2. Handle the treatments and examinations afterwards; if a person wasn’t able to handle the aftermath of the transplant…

    Pros And Cons Of Transplant Tourism

    "Transplant tourism typically refers to the practice of traveling outside the country of residence to obtain organ transplantation” (Gill et al., 2008). Of the four responses offered in the scenario, I personally think that option A is the most ethical of all. As Dr. O’ Connor states that “transplant tourism” is a serious and growing problem and people are traveling abroad in “search” of organ transplants to avoid waiting lists and to avoid the high price they have to pay in the United States (Transplant Tourism, 2016). The ethical dilemma in this situation is jeopardizing a poor person’s life in order to save another person’s life who has money. According to the scenario, many people pay the donors a small amount of money in exchange of their…

    The Pros And Cons Of Cell Transplantation

    Previously, cell transplantation therapies for nervous system injuries have been unsuccessful due to the formation of glial scar tissue and the cells draining from the site of injury in the amount of time axons would have been able to regenerate in the CNS. Now, a new biomaterial call “single-channel tubular conduits based on hyaluronic acid” (1) has been developed. This biomaterial blocks leakage of implanted cells while still allowing them to have necessary nutrients transported to them. It also gives Schwann cells, neuroglial cells that provide support and myelinate the axons of neurons, typically in the PNS, a template to form in the CNS.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Stem Cell Transplantation

    Stem cell transplantation, sometimes referred to as bone marrow transplant, is a procedure that replaces unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy cells. Stem cell transplantation allows doctors to give large doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy to increase the chance of eliminating blood cancer in the marrow and then restoring normal blood cell production. Researchers continue to improve stem cell transplantation procedures, making them an option for more patients. The basis for stem cell transplantation is that blood cells (red cells, white cells and platelets) and immune cells (lymphocytes) arise from the stem cells, which are present in marrow. Intense chemotherapy or radiation therapy kills the patient's stem cells.…

    Pros And Cons Of Liver Transplant

    I would apply for a liver transplant if recommended by Matthew’s doctor if he was my son. I think that the risk of transplant, especially a very common transplant such as a liver transplant, has reduced with advanced medical research and more practical experience. The rejection rate is still 40% in children, however the risk of rejection doesn’t result in death or major complications, just that the child may have to go on more medications or have a second liver. The cons of not getting a liver transplant immensely outweigh the pros, and it is a much easier, less stressful life to live if the transplant is accepted, which it most likely will. A liver transplant wouldn’t completely cure the disease, and he is still genetically made to have MSUD,…

    Many people believe that it is common knowledge that HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) has no cure and will always be impossible to cure. However, contrary to these beliefs, someone has been cured of HIV-AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus-acquired immune deficiency syndrome). In 1995, Timothy Ray Brown had contracted and was tested positive for HIV-AIDS. Brown was able to lead a normal life until 2006 when he was told that he had leukemia. Gero Hutter, Timothy Brown’s oncologist, told Brown what they had to do to get him better: a stem cell transplant.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Human Cloning

    Cloning is a sin in front of god because in the bible it says “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them “Genesis 1:27. God created people in his own image, and for babies to be created in mother’s womb, in the natural way not in a test tube. Anyone who follows God and believes in the bible should not say cloning is right especially just for organ donation, because nobody should take away the life of another person because only God can take away lives. Men did not create our life but God did so a man should not have any right to take anybody’s life because only the creator can take what he gave ys therefore killing clones for donation purpose is murdering and it should be a crime. If people keep on cloning to save their loved ones or in the memory of them, then the generation is not going anywhere because we are going to keep on cloning the people that were here.…

    Cons And Disadvantages And Effects Of Bioprinting Processes

    One factor that makes bioprinting a better option than the typical human organ transplant is the optimization of the organ life span. Human organs have a very short life when chilled in preservation solution. This is demonstrated in the heart and lung since they have a life span of about 6 hours. The kidney has the longest life span outside the human body with the ability to survive 30 hours [18]. Any time past the organ’s life span will cause the organ to deteriorate.…

    The Benefits Of Human Cloning

    There is little known about the benefits that would be gained from a successful human cloning, since it’s never been done. However, speculations show that it could be beneficial in the medical industry to reproduce damaged organs, tissues or cells. Cloning humans has the possibility to eradicate everything we currently know about the nature of our lives, and runs the risk of turning the procreation process into a manufacturing process allowing people to pick and choose what characteristics they’d like “added on” to their child. There are other things the natural process allows for that cloning may not; a lot of times in early pregnancies if there is something wrong with the baby the body will naturally cause a miscarriage in the mother. Since it’s an already formed embryo that is transferred into a carrying mother we don’t know if bodies would still react this way and could potentially cause for a spike in births with deformities or incurable diseases that would have naturally been taken care…

    Do you think a plant, animal, or even a human can be cloned? If so, would you be a support or oppose it? Genetic Cloning has many titles; from human cloning, Reproductive cloning, Therapeutic cloning or even Research cloning. They all mean the same thing, which is the process in which a gene of interest is located and copied out of DNA extracted from an organism. Genetic Cloning has been going on for years, ever since 1981.…

    In spite of its pitfalls, the outcomes could change the future of medicine.

Not only this, but there would no longer be a need to donate organs if scientists could regenerate organs and tissues through somatic cell transfer. Cloning research brings the public…
