organ transplant


By My Name at 2009-12-26 03:21:42
Families of individuals who decide to donate their organs often find that it helps them through their grieving process. They receive great comfort from the knowledge that something positive came from the death of their loved one.For recipients of donated organs, organ transplants offer a second chance at life, enabling both them and their families to maintain a higher quality of life. Even the hope that there is a possible matching organ donor available can make a huge difference in the life of someone that is suffering from a serious illness.

In the United States, the waiting list is quoted to be about 96,522 people long for kidney donations, but only about one third of those patients are hopeful of ever receiving a donated organ. "I'd like to place an order..how about a liver, a heart valve....and two kidneys." There may come a time in the very near future when Doctors sound more like auto mechanics as they order spare parts..or sorry organs from the factory. I know, sounds crazy right? Well believe it or not right now there are factories all over the world who don't make parts for Toyota or Honda..but parts for people.

It is differences in moral and ethical beliefs along with political and legal positions that have stood in the way of the progress of organ donation. Politicians, Doctors, Lawyers, all offer many thoughts on what is right and what is our duty. What is the right thing to do? Are Doctors obligated to give a good liver to an alcoholic? Is is right to accept an organ from an impoverished person who sells their organs for money. How about the mentally or physically challenged? Can we harvest organs from those who cannot and will not be fully able to use them? What about those that are incarcerated with no chance of parole? How about allowing a convicted murderer his sight back, should this person be allowed to be a recipient? There are many, many moral and ethical questions that may never be answered to clear the path for organ donating.

Another issue often raised has more to do with the economic exploitation of the donors. It is a common perception that the donors are poor and the ones receiving the organs are rich. This raises fear of an organ black market. In some places, such as the Indian subcontinent and Africa this has already become a concern. Another issue is known as xenotransplantation which involves the harvesting of certain compatible animal organs for use in humans. A whole new plethora of ethical issues surround this idea. Even animal rights groups have joined in this debate. There is no question that body donation and organ donation will remain a hot topic for many years to come.

A kidney transplant perhaps suggested for patients with kidney failure affected by:

* Serious, out of control high blood pressure

* Infections

* Diabetes

* Glomerulonephritis

One of the largest religions that welcomes organ donation is the United Methodists. This church is aware of the meaning behind donating your organs. By allowing doctors to use your body parts if something were to happen to you, you could help a victim that is relying on organ transplant to give them hope for a better future. Tthe good deed is not only accepted but also encouraged by the church; thus they frequently encourage members to sign up for donation.On the other hand, there are religions that feel organ donations should only go so far. If you are helping out another person for their well being, donating your organs is wonderful. However, some people feel that if you are donating your body to science, this is an entirely different ball game. By donating your body for experiments, you are not helping someone else’s life or saving a heart or a liver. In their opinion, it is certainly a fine line between what is right and what is wrong.
