Lizzy Melton Dr. Epright Medicine Morality and Culture 19 October, 2016 In this paper I will argue that a traditional God Squad would not consider Rhonda Ryder as a fit recipient for a kidney transplant based on criteria composed of various psychosocial factors.

Biomedical scientists study and perform experiments on animals such as rats, mice, reptiles, chimpanzees, and many others for ailments that ultimately cause death. An animal’s internal systems and organs closely resemble humans in complexity and vital functions such as breathing, reproduction, and digestion, so scientists understand how it will affect the human body and life cycle. While petri dish studies are available using human cells and could prevent what the Humane Society considers…

Organ transplantation is a common form of treatment for people with severe organ failure. It involves removing a healthy, functioning organ from a donor and placing it into a susceptible host. Unfortunately, organ transplantation is almost always accompanied by transplant rejection, which involves the recipient’s immune system recognizing the new organ as a foreign object, subsequently attacking it and destroying it. There are several different stages of transplant rejection including hyperacute…
