Organ Donation by Prisoners There have been rumors that China has been harvesting organs from the prisoners on a massive scale. There hasn't been a total amount of executions that China has done because they do not report them all but after executing them, they take the organs and do secret operations. However for the people that do not agree with Chinaś communist government, retrieving organs from prisoners have had bad outcomes because they stood up for the prisoners. They have their organs…

born without a trachea, was given a windpipe made of her own cells. The U.S. government has already funded a “body on a chip” project that was led by a university. The university-led project prints tissues samples that imitates the functions of the human organs. But most experts believes that 3D printing is not an appropriate use for transplants. On second thoughts, they believe that printing strips or patches of tissues to mend damaged organs will be the next step. Many questions are beginning…

Should the Market for Human Organs be legalized? Canada today is a country where hundreds of people die waiting for an organ transplant, according to Michael Friscolanti’s article, “Will sell organs for cash”. There have been laws in Canada that object the purchase of human organs, but surely do not have any objection with the donation of organs (Friscolanti, “Will sell organs for cash”).

The Organ Lottery In a world where there are not enough organs for people who need them, there must be a way of deciding who receives one and who doesn’t. I propose that a type of lottery system be used. Everyone will receive at least 1 entry in the lottery that cannot be taken away. Entries will then be added or taken away based on certain criteria. These criteria include organ utility (maximizing happiness per organ), dependability (if the person has a family who is depending on him/her),…

To start off, in New Zealand, Living Cell Technologies (LCT) has taken promising steps to protect cells from the human immune system by coating pig cells with alginate, a substance found in seaweed that would prevent the immune system from recognizing and attacking the alien islets. These encapsulated cells are used as treatments for Type 1 Diabetes (Zukerman). This…

The image that is hard to get out of my head is how tired, unhealthy, and curved my back was. Life seemed like it was constantly about Doctors’ appointments or Specialists, and because of all the appointments I missed a lot of school, I confess I was always tired and I spent a lot of time in bed. My story really begins in February 2012 when I had spinal cord surgery at Children’s Hospital in Seattle. When I was young it was scoliosis was detected, but in February the curve in my spine was at…

Why You Should Be an Organ Donor Everyday approximately twenty-one people die while waiting for a transplant (Citation). Being an organ donor can impact and save countless lives. What many people do not know about being an organ donor is that they can still have an open casket funeral; donation is only considered after a patient has passed away, and they can save many lives. Donors can still have an open casket funeral which is another worry to some. This is a common misconception as well.…
