Argumentative Essay On Organ Transplants

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

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
