RJA 13C Application Project Example

www.donoralliance.org/info-page-28,

Learning the different stories that this website has, make you stop and think babies to elderly can donate anything. Many people do choose to help those in need and many do donate despite people views.

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.

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

Research question:

Should organ and tissue transplants be used as common medicine practices.

Should organ and tissue transplants be used as a common practice in medicine.

Precise claim:

Transplants of human tissue should be practiced everyday as medical cures.

Reasons:

1.Transplants regain and enhance lives of human beings

2.Discoveries of new methods will reduce medical cost

Thesis statement:

Organ and tissue transplants, play an important role in todays' medicine.

RJA #3B Research Topic Focus

Brainstorming:

1. Prework should be done
2. Should not be first come first served
3. Should not be the worse condition receives the transplant first
4. Everyone should have the same treatment
5. Won't do it
6. It's mine
7. Drinkers should not be able to be on the priority list
8. Obesity people should not receive a heart
9. Something you have control over you should not receive a tranplant until all others fail
10. Wont' don't they will take it away anyway
11. It's not ethicial

RJA #3A Research Exploring Topic

While exploring my topic, it was very interesting finding out other point of views. There is a group of people that believe that the system is set up for the rich and the poor to die. Many feel that the system should be set up for people to pay for transplant and not the government.

RJA# 2b

Research topic:

The research topic I chose was tissue banking. Tissue banking has been around for quite some time. There are not that many people that donate. Many are not being educated about the many positive outcomes of receiving or even donating. People need to be educated on the subject before the time of death.

I know a little about it and would love to learn more about it. I currently work at a tissue bank proceh ssing human tissue which is very rewarding. I would like to find out from this research why are the numbers so low in donation in the black and hispanic communities. There are alot of myths that we face with donating.

Alot of the black community that I have spoken with do not trust the health care system and others just have not even thought about it. This was very alarming to me.

RJA#2 possible topics

Five topics that interest me:

1.Tissue banking
2.Disparities of health care
3. Hormones changes in males
4. Food of the past vs. Food of the present
5. New Orleans proverty
