In her essay “Organ Sales Will Save Lives”, Joanna Mackay explains how legalizing kidney sales would be beneficial in more ways than one; saving the lives of patients willing to buy kidneys, and with legal compensation, helping to end poverty in the countries of those willing to sell. In her essay, Mackay explains that even though there are nearly 350,000 people suffering from end-stage renal disease, an almost always-fatal disease, treatment options are limited exclusively to transplant and dialysis. Though effective, dialysis is an expensive and painful process, making the patient dependent on a machine for the rest of their life. Transplant, however, is far more successful; new equipment and anti-rejection treatments make it an incredibly safe and effective procedure. When a matching donor can’t be found within immediate family members, patients must wait for a kidney from deceased donors, such as old age or accident victims.
My theory also is that eventually people will start bidding on artificial organs and the richer people will have say over a family that doesn't have a lot of money. If doctors wanted to replace original organs with artificial ones, it would take a lot of perfecting and obligating a clean bill of health for the patient. Who, if anyone, should be a prime candidate for these types of artificial/synthetic replacements? Do you feel that anyone should have access to them? Even a life-long smoker or alcoholic who knowingly subjected themselves to harmful substances?
"The Case for Mandatory Organ Donation" - A Review (Reading Assignment, Week 7) In “The Case for Mandatory Organ Donation” (2007), by Scott Carney, he makes the argument that organ donation should not be a choice; instead Carney believes that organs should be donated regardless of the wishes of the deceased and their family. In this article Carney quotes Eric Johnson, a professor at Columbia University as saying, “…there would be a [an] increase of between 16 percent to 50 percent in the availability of organs, and others have speculated that this would eliminate the shortage of organs in some categories” (2007). The argument that Carney has put together is very effective and is quite persuasive to solving the problem of a lack of organs to those that need transplants. However there are holes in the argument that Carney has proposed. For example, although the opposition is stated briefly within the article, there is little attention given to the argument of spirituality and the beliefs that come along with some people’s thoughts on the afterlife and what happens to the human body after one passes away.
The black market essentially is where if you have enough money you can buy just about anything you want. People are buying organs for $10,000 and selling them to the rich for $160,000. This is happening part of Asia, the Middle East, and many other regions. The rich even travel to other places such as China, and Pakistan to undergo organ transplants on the black market. All in all, I think that the people should be able to sell their organs before they die.
He asked if I had any relatives with the disease, because it is thought to run in the family, although the actual cause is still unknown. I told him that I don’t know of anyone having it, that is when he informed me that most people don’t’ even realize that they have it because the deformities can sometimes be very small. I told him that I was ready for him to take my blood. When taking my blood, he explained to me that he was looking for an elevated amount of an enzyme called Alkaine Phosphtase. He continued to tell me how this will make us certain if Paget’s disease is what I have for sure.
Miss Kirk Pre-Diploma English II 3 November 2014 Should we donate to the Red Cross? “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give” (Churchill). The revered Red Cross has been known to donate and give in times of needs, but after Sandy hit this was not the case. Due to the impetuous actions of the American Red Cross in reference to Sandy, we should not donate to the Red Cross. A lot of people give money to charities in general to boost their public image, feel good about themselves or to find a tax write-off.
Whereas, any symptoms that occur later on in life are not typically attributed to the vaccine. Because delayed effects are almost impossible to statistically measure up, they neglect to deem them as side effects. Ever since the expansion of vaccinations, there has been an increase in reports for both children and adults of serious brain and cardiovascular injuries, hyperactivity, asthma, learning difficulties, chronic fatigue syndrome. Since the hepatitis B vaccine has been introduced, diabetes has also significantly
One such organization is the American Heart Association (AHA), which only supports adult stem cell research "based not on the relative merits of both types of research or the science and technology involved, but on concerns about..." how they would lose much support and funding if they pursued ESC research (Newton, 38). This lack of support for ESC research, not even taking into account its medical merits, demonstrates just how strongly people feel about the debate. Luckily, even though the national government might not fund ESC research, state entities and private agencies can make their own decisions and fund the research
Running head: Electronic Medical Records Essay Electronic Medical Records Essay Emily D. Cowley-Hunter Grand Canyon University: HCA 450 Quality in Healthcare September 23, 2012 Due to lack of transportation and unanswered emails to medical professionals, I was unable to interview an actual health care provider and converse about their feelings and previous knowledge on the EMR system. Even though I was lacking the interview process I was still very curious on this issue and researched more about it seeing what other professionals said about the benefits and negatives of using this system. I was astonished by my results in finding that the EMR system actually benefits our healthcare community if it is kept up to date and physicians
