Argumentative Essay On Organ Transplants

467 Words2 Pages

I read through several scientific article that were interesting to me. Including, an article about a fish that can walk up a water fall, one about how forest will look in the next 1,000 years, and another about how to recognize spring in our environment. However, the article that interested me the most was about 3-D printing organ transplants. The article was titled, “It’s Possible to Grow a 3-D Printed Ear on a Mouse’s Back” and was written by Nicholas Fleur. It was absolutely fascinating. Bioengineers at the Wake Forest institute for Regenerative Medicine in North Caroline have been working with a system they call an ”integrated tissue and organ printing system”. This system woks much like a normal 3–D printer, but uses a mixture of human, mice, rat, or …show more content…

This article outline a new way to accomplish that same outcome. The implications of 3-D printing organs for transplant are incredible. If we could 3-D pint organ transplants, it would greatly increase the speed at which people could get transplants. It could save a tremendous amount of lives and reduces the stress and heartbreak of being put on waiting list for an organ that you might not live long enough to receive. Furthermore, the science of it is fascinating. It must have taken a man dedicated and persistent people to discover how to replicate tissue and make an organism accept it as its own. I would be interested to learn more about the timeline on this research. Specifically, how long it will be until this is a viable option for people in need of a transplant. I would also be interested to learn about the actually process of printing the tissue, how long it takes, what ratios of the ingredients he uses. Most of all I would like to understand how the body integrates the new tissue into its bod and why it does not reject

Scientist are working on a way to end the need for organ transplant all together. They are using gene therapy to generate stem cells at the site of the damaged organ. This would use the patients stem cells to regenerate the organ while still in the body. It is currently only being tested on mice. Connor, S. (2013) 6.

In 1969, he implanted an artificial heart in a human being for the first time. The patient, Haskell Karp lived for 64 hours with the implanted device before it could be replaced with a donor’s heart. The patient however died a day after the second operation and questions were asked about the doctor’s choice to implant the artificial heart in the first

He theorized how the pulmonary system of a human’s arteries worked. It was a single passage that went unnoticed by everyone and could have changed medical history forever. Instead, William Harvey received credit for his medical breakthrough of the pulmonary system many years later. Unfortunately, some of the brightest people do not credited for their work or rewarded, but even more unfortunate is the lack of Servetus’ discovery being known until many years later. Many lives could have been saved with new knowledge of the human anatomy.

Tara Sander Lee is a pathology professor and Kathleen M. Schmainda is a radiology professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Neither of these authors have professional experience with stem cells, which can be seen by looking at their statements. The first misleading statement in this article says, "Alternative sources are available for research and transplantation without ethical concerns or legal restrictions. They include tissue from surgery, tumor biopsies, human umbilical cords, blood and placenta.

This piece of evidence tells about three people who donated skin cells, and had them genetically copied, which is one form of cloning just like the way they did in Brave New World” “In a first, Mitalipov and his privately funded team report that these cloned embryos were grown past an eight-cell size (where earlier attempts had stopped) into a full-blown early embryo, containing hundreds of embryonic stem cells. Embryonic cells taken from these cloned embryos were grown into six colonies of cells, the first successfully grown cloned human embryonic stem cells.” This is an example of a process very similar to the Bovkanovsky’s Process and

A rough estimate of how many sources I will use is probably about ten, but I may read through and look at up to twenty if I can find that many. I will use some sources more than others, as I may only cite a couple lines of text from one and end up citing bits of a couple paragraphs from another. What I am trying to do with my resources is get a variety of information to use. I want to look at this technology from multiple different viewpoints to get a better understanding of it. The more opinions and research I find on the subject, the more I can compare and contrast to see how Human Organs-on-Chips can actually be useful for research.

Most people in our society, no matter what level of education that they may have, have heard of the cloning, specifically the cloning of Dolly the lamb, and have some notions regarding the idea of cloning humans. "The successes in animal cloning suggest to some that the technology has matured sufficiently to justify its application to human cloning" (Jaenisch et al.). However, not every agrees that human cloning is a something that should be put into practice (Hoskins). There generally seem to be two basic divisions on this issue: those who find it inappropriate and unethical, and those who find it a reasonable and necessary step in the progression of scientific research (Lustig).

When you hear the word death or you hear that someone has died today in the news or on the television I know a lot of people think “Man, I feel sorry for the family that they have to go through that.” or they thank god that it was not them or their family members.” Sadly though people try to push away death and push away the fact that everyone dies at one point in time. This is even truer when they witness their own family member in the hospital with a critical condition that the doctors cannot fix even with modern medicines on the doctor’s side. Another such time would be when a person’s family member is diagnosed with an incurable sickness that is fatal.
