RJA 13b Application project

On my application project I will explore organ and tissue from a third party view. I will write a letter to my family as if I received a transplant. I will discuss the process and the outcome. Some disappointing news and some good news. I will place myself in the shoes of a patient.

Daar AS. Money and organ procurement: Narratives from the real world. In: Gutmann TH, Daar AS, Sells RA, Land W, . Munich: Pabst Publishers; 2004. pp. 368–377. editors. Ethical, legal, and social issues in organ transplantation.

This article explains society buy organ for transplants. Many being killed for these organs, just for money. Is there a real price the government can set for the health of humans. Putting a market price on body parts—even a fair one—exploits the desperation of the poor, turning their suffering into a medical opportunity

history of transplants is explained. Major milestones are shown here.

Raising the Dead: Organ Transplants, Ethics and Society, by Ronald Munson. Published by Oxford University Press.

In this book "Raising the Dead," real medical miracles involve causing a person's illness to disappear - the example of antibiotics is the clearest and most common. Organ transplants do not do this however: because a recipient has to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of their lives, always fearing an infection which will get past their now-suppressed immune system, transplants simply trade one acute illness for another chronic condition.

The Ethics of Organ Transplants: The Current Debate,ed. Arthur L. Caplan and Daniel H. Coehlo. Published by Prometheus Books.

What are the sources of organs used in transplantation? How can we make the procurement system more efficient? Should we pay for organs? Should someone who has already received one transplant be allowed a second? Should alcoholics be given liver transplants? Are transplants really worth the tremendous costs?

Guiding principles on human organ transplantation. World Health Organization. Lancet.1991;337:1470–1471

The arguments for regulations as opposed to prohibition have some say, but are out of touch with the social and medical realities in many developing countries. Often institutions in these countries created to monitor organ recoveries and distribution are weak, dysfunctional, corrupt, or compromised by the impunity of the organ brokers, and by outlaw surgeons willing to violate the first premise of classical medical bioethics

http://www.christianliferesources.com

Although donation may be permissible or even obligatory based on the principle of loving one's neighbor, does it violate biblical teaching in other areas such as the resurrection of the body, totality, self-mutilation, prolonging life and natural order? The second major category involves issues concerning the body itself
