For example, for a kidney transplant the donator needs to be age 65 or younger, of good health, normal blood pressure, and normal blood and urine testes. If someone wants to being a living donor and they have someone in mind that they want to donate to, they must have the same blood type along with the same antigens in their blood, or the recipient’s body will reject the organ. There are many benefits for the transplant recipient such as an overall improved quality of life…

Introduction The need of organ donors only rise higher and higher. In “It Is Morally Acceptable to Buy and Sell Organs for Human Translation”, Mark Cherry offers a solution to this. He provides claims that defend the ethics of human organ trade. Analyzing Cherry’s arguments, I will explain how our organs are not commodities, they cannot be part of a regulated market, and we do not have the authority to put a price on them. Not only would it undervalue human life, but it has many negative…

Question 1): a) In the Ted Talk video, what did Singer say about having two kidneys? Do you think that comparison was strong or weak? He told the audience a story about a letter he received from Chris Croy, saying that he gave away one of his kidneys, to someone in need. This had then started a chain reaction which enabled four people to obtain kidneys. Singer then went on to speak about how he still has two kidneys, because he himself has never donated his organs before. However, Singer then…

Humanity is strong only because it is weak. This may sound pessimistic and backwards, but imagine how technologically advanced our society would be if we had no need to advance. As much of an oxymoron that is, it brings about the question: “Why do we constantly strive for more?” The field of medicine is tightly entwined with the field of technology, but much of the innovation in the field of technology today is directly for specific uses within the medical field. One such innovation is advancing…

At first, the surgeon had to check for any defects and repair them; I remember him saying it’s either a straight forward case or a complicated one. Ours was the second type of transplant. It was mesmerizing and breathtaking to see how the kidney became viable and pinkish after he connected it to the external iliac artery and vein. I enjoyed observing the surgeon while checking for any bleeding at the suture lines to make sure everything…

Imagine being deadly-ill and needing a new organ to survive. But the list of people in need is topping 100,000 and there is only between 5,000 and 8,000 traditional (deceased) organ donors per year, the chance of you getting a new organ is very small. What are you going to do, die? For some people a solution is to buy an organ from the black market. For about $150,000 a broker will reach across continents to connect you with a seller, whom they then guide to a “broker-friendly” hospital and…

infections or heart attacks. People that have severe heart failures are given medicines, but if they do not recover well enough, they require to have a heart transplant. People who require heart transplants use artificial hearts until there is a sutible donator’s heart available. The artificial heart is then removed during the heart transplant. However, if there a…

Organ donation has grown more popular over recent years with its latest modern technology and people driven with the hope that they will save someone’s life with their viable organs. Although there is more awareness of organ donations and its benefits, the fact is that in the United States an average of 21 people die each day from not receiving the organs on time or at all (Donate Life America, 2016) . In an effort to aid the people in these extensive waiting lists, the proposal of mandatory…

driver's license." This method of signing up to become an organ donor is very simple and not time consuming at all. In the article, “Organ Donation Q & A”, written by Pantagraph, it says “Potential living donors go through an assessment process at the transplant program that consists of blood typing and testing, an extensive physical exam, review of the patient's medical history and a psychological evaluation.” This quote shows the different kind of testing potential organ donors have to go…
