When Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy go to find her later in the future, they find out that she was an advocate for the humane treatment of clones. • Miss Lucy: Miss Lucy was a guardian at Hailsham who tried to teach the students there about their future as organ donors, because she believed that they had a right to know about it. • Ruth: Ruth is Kathy’s best friend from the beginning, when everyone was at Hailsham. However, unlike her best friend, Ruth lies constantly, and is quite manipulative as well…

There are many challenges to successful organ transplants, including matching a recipient and a donor based on matching genetic variability. It is extremely difficult to match MHC perfectly with a donor and a recipient as there are many locations where genetic differences can still cause a rejection reaction by the recipient. A familial donor is usually the closest to a perfect genetic MHC match that a recipient can find. The closer the match of genetic variability, the better the chances that…

In order increase the number of donations, there must be more government involvement to regulate the usage of cadavers. After the shocking occurrence of cadavers getting blown up and the recent arrest of the UCLA’s director for illegally selling cadaver body parts, Michael Meyer, medical ethicist, asserts that “Congress should act to create a carefully regulated, non-profit system” to eliminate future instances like this from happening. Afterall, “the Constitution guarantees the protection of…

The process of completing a transplant of human organs from one individual to another is very complex on every level. There are many touch points or intersections where critical data, such as blood type, can be verified. Any piece of information that is not an exact match should give pause to the process until there is no doubt that all of the checks are in place to secure a viable organ and recipient are matched and successfully transplanted. Healthcare entities that practice similar…

An organ transplant is a surgical process in which a functioning organ is given to a patient whose organ has stopped working or is close to failing(United Network for Organ Sharing). Organs can be taken from a living person or someone who has passed away(Medlineplus). A person’s organ can stop working due to diseases, injury or birth defects. Even though transplant is one of the advances of medicine the need is greater than the donation. There is usually a long wait time before a…

bigger than what was expected (“A drop”). This little idiomatic phrase is essential to this problem of having some money before organ transplants; that little drop (money before) needs to multiply extravagantly to fill the bucket (cost after bills). To really go into the topic, a main matter for attention related to organ trade and sales is the cost to receive an organ and plus the hospital bill right after. A proposal to make about this is to find a way to lower that high price of the ending…
