Ch 8: Conclusion and Final
Thoughts
The field of medicine
is showing so much progress in every field of theirs and now maximum of the
patients are able to be cured. Organ Transplantation is also one of such fields
in which continuous research have made it a possible for the doctors and
specialist to perform any transplant. As
any field, organ transplants had its share of ethical issues such as
the black market of organs and the concepts of savior sibling. Nevertheless, this field
progressed over time through new scientific interventions to include new
technologies such as the Organ Care System. This technology is
designated to keep the organ functioning and alive outside the body. In
addition, interventions also manifested to include artificial organs, the one
alternative for organ transplants. Artificial organs are made to replace a
defective or malfunctioning organ in a human patient. This way, the normal
function of the transplanted tissue or organ can be restored. Finally, organ printing, the future of
artificial organ development, in
which the next generation
of synthetic organs will be visualized thanks to a 3D printing technique.
The field of organ transplant was and still has its unique
print on the world of science and medicine. Hopefully, new policies and
solutions will be available soon to resolve the continuous need for organ
donation and thus leading patients to the organ black market as an alternative
.
It's amazing how far science, medicine, and technology has evolved over the years to allow us to successfully transplant so many organs and even develop artificial organs when real ones may not be available for some patients. I have enjoyed reading your blog over the past 8 weeks, and you did a great job of introducing the many aspects of organ transplantation. It's unfortunate that there is such a lack of organs in the United States due to such a small organ donation pool and that people have to resort to seeking the help they need through the black market which is never a 100% guarantee and is extremely risky. However, great job overall.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your opinion about organ transplantation to me. I am a fan of organ transplantation too. I did many research on organ transplantation before read your post. Your posts help me understand deeply on it. I feel great there is a person that have the same thought as me. I hope we can talk more about organ transplantation in the future. specialty the part of black market. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI gotta say that the controversial issue of organ transplantation would soon be extinct because due to the advanced technology and medicine we have, we will no longer be needing the Black Market for organs. I really learn alot from reading your blog for the past few weeks. Thank you for sharing your topic.I gotta say this is an excellent topic because it also deals with ethical issue. Good job.
