Cloning and Organ Donation

Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and AIDS are some of the most lethal diseases that people die from every single day. These diseases can be passed on into the next generation of our children. Although, this problem could be avoided by using the method of cloning. In addition, our best and bravest soldiers that are sent into wars often times come back with missing limbs. These veterans can't walk without a prosthetic or feed themselves without a nurse. Cloning would enable them to improve the quality of their life by letting them truly experience what goes on around them and that is why they would greatly appreciate the mechanisms of cloning. Cloning has the power to enable these individuals to live out their dreams and continue to show their patriotism. In other cases, cloning could bring hope to a patient who is undergoing the transplant process, a tedious, difficult, and nonetheless expensive procedure. Yes, it is true that thousands of people are saved each year by organ transplantation, yet even more die each year waiting while their organs shut down. Many people have suffered accidental medical tragedies during their lifetimes. Some include a girl who needs a kidney, a burn victim, a girl born with cosmetic

I am writing to address the problem I have with cloning. Therapeutic and Reproductive cloning is a waste of money and time. Why would you pay fifty thousand american dollars to clone something or someone that won’t be an exact copy? Every person or animal in the world is made for a reason, so why make a clone if you’re one of a kind.

A major, worldwide public health issue exists that many, if not most, people are either unaware of or, at best, paid little heed to. It is the issue of organ donations. Many thousands of people in countless countries suffer from major health issues that require these people receive organ transplants. If they do not receive these transplants, they will die from organ failure (Cohen, Bistritz, & Ashkenazi, 2015; Kennedy, 1979). The problem is that there are only a relatively few number of organs available for transplant compared to the number of people who need transplants (Jahromi, Fry-Revere, & Bastani, 2015).

Please try and consider the following situation. You’re sitting in an emergency room, waiting for your dad to awake after falling into liver failure, costing him to need a new liver. Not knowing if it’s possible, crossing your fingers. You wish you could help, but you can’t. Someone else can. An organ donor. According to organdonor.gov, about 116,000 U.S. citizens are waiting on the organ transplant list as of August 2017. To put that number into perspective, that’s more than double the amount of people that can fit into Yankee Stadium. And to make matters worse, 20 people each day die waiting for a transplant.(organdonor.gov) Organ donation can offer patients a second chance at life and provides

Cloning body parts has the ability to save many lives around the world. According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services tently people die a day waiting for an organ transplant. Cloning creates vital organs which can stop people from suffering. People are in that waiting list for years hoping they receive that heart, lung, liver, and or other body parts. Society now has the option to help and create.There will not be anymore unneeded surgeries performed, no more waiting, but

Cloning is an up and coming medical breakthrough that will benefit the lives of everyone immensely. On the contrary, we as a nation may never be able to experience all of what cloning technology has to offer. The governments is planning on banning or limiting the use of cloning in the United States. Cloning can improve our means of society, and banning it will be putting the good of America on the back burner.

Often when a patient is waiting for an organ transplant finding the donor could take months. Unfortunately, most patrons on the organ donation list may not have enough time left to wait several months and in fact some never reach the day they would receive their transplant. An “average of 22 people die each day waiting for transplants that can't take place because of the shortage of donated organs” (The Need Is Real: Data). This is where cloning would become extremely beneficial in the medical field. Finding a donor can take so much time because they must be in good mental and physical health, which means they are free of any health issues with their mind or body, and that they must be willing to donate. Then after passing these criteria the donor must test for being a possible match. Matching is the most difficult part of being a donor, but with cloning, that can change. By creating the exact copy of the organ, we can get rid of transplant rejection. Transplant rejection is when the matched donor transplants the organ and the patient’s body rejects the organ causing your own immune system to attack the new organ, the rejection can be dangerous and can sometimes be fatal. By cloning the organs instead “blood type, tissue type, height, and weight. The length of time the patient has been waiting, the severity of the patient's illness” (Organ Donation: The

Within the past few years, the demand for organs has increased at an alarming rate. This is due mostly to the fact that diseases and illnesses are becoming more prevalent and are brought on due to a significant change in American lifestyles. Failing organs can be caused by certain ways of living such as being a smoker or becoming obese. Many people are in need of a vital organ or know someone who needs an organ; these people are greatly impacted by a decision involving organ donation. Vital organs, such as the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, and liver are involved, which means these people are in life and death situations. While organ transplants have created a way to give and receive life to others, the process has actually become controversial

Cloning, can be beneficial to human society. Theres many types of cloning but, the one that benefits society today is known as therapeutic cloning. Therapeutic cloning, is the removal of a nucleus, which contains the genetic material, from virtually any cell of the body usually from the skin and its transferred by injection it into an unfertilized egg from which the nucleus has also been removed. Creating an identical DNA. By, having a cloned DNA it can help understand genetic diseases. The cells created it can later be used transplanted into the patients to treat a diseases from which the patient suffers.

Therapeutic cloning is helpful in creating vital organs. This would be helpful for people suffering from kidney and other disorders, who are forced to wait years for a replacement organ.

To sell or not to sell, that is the question. In a story once told a young man died from a heart attack way too soon for most people to even consider death and his young nephew asked the adults when they explained that he had died why did they not get the man a new heart? It is not so simple, the adults attempted to explain or indeed it is simpler than one might at first believe? This work intends to conduct an examination of the issue of biomedical ethics as it relates to the cloning and sale of organs.

Science today is developing at warp speed. We have the capability to do many things, which include the cloning of actual humans! First you may ask what a clone is? A clone is a group of cells or organisms, which are genetically identical, and have all been produced from the same original cell. There are three main types of cloning, two of which aim to produce live cloned offspring and one, which simply aims to produce stem cells and then human organs. These three are: reproductive cloning, embryo cloning and therapeutic cloning. The goal of therapeutic cloning is to produce a healthy copy of a sick person's tissue or organ for transplant, and the goal of both reproductive cloning and embryo cloning is to

Organs that can be donated include the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and small intestines. Organs are used to save lives by replacing diseased organs with healthy ones. One organ donor can save the lives of up to eight people. When someone is able to donate organs and a person who needs the organ receives it, many new doors for that person are open. Critically ill children who undergo organ transplants today are more likely than ever to recover and return to their schools, playgrounds and a quality of life that in many cases is virtually indistinguishable from that of friends who have never faced a life-threatening disease. Cory Scott is living proof. The 15-year-old returned to his Jacksonburg, W.Va., home less than two months after his heart, ruined by cardiomyopathy, was replaced with a donor heart at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh on Aug. 15, 2002. He had been kept alive on a mechanical ventricular assist device for several weeks before the surgery. People who need an organ transplant are usually very ill or dying, because on or more of their organs is failing. They range from babies and children through to older people. People needing a tissue transplant cane be of any age. In some cases, tissue transplant can be of any age. IN some cases, tissue transplantation can save lives. More often, it greatly improves the recipient’s life. Also many people are on

Every thirty minutes someone gets added to the waiting list for an organ transplant (‘Frequently Asked Questions”). Not only that, but the number of patients being added to the waiting list is growing larger than the number of donors (“Organ Donation Statistics”). Many people are in the need of some kind of organ donation, so anyone who donates can help to save many lives. Organ donation is also such a great way to give back to people. Another thing is that to donate an organ a person does not have to pay money (“Organ Donation FAQ’s”). The only part that costs money is for the funeral if they are a deceased donor (“Organ Donation FAQ’s”).

Human cloning is not always copying and creating a full organism; that is reproductive cloning. Cloning just an organ or tissue is called therapeutic cloning, and is a technology that is not possible yet but scientists feel that it is only a matter of time (Tierney). With that technology, many patients could be cured of previously life-long conditions such as paralysis, chronic heart attacks, and leukemia. A long-term “disease” such as infertility could be cured as well by creating a clone of the female and then transplanting that clone’s eggs into the female and then the children the couple has will be their biological children! Even amputees could have limbs regenerated in a lab and reattached (Smith). These medical advances seem like a cure-all, but they are not possible at the moment because we do not know enough about the human genome to see which genes code for certain proteins which shape the function of the cell. With our current technology, we cannot direct a cell to specialize into a kidney cell to transplant into a patient needing a new kidney. Current technology doesn’t allow for the creation of “spare parts” but it is possible to create fully functional humans (after many attempts), and then the human that was “created” could then be grown and disemboweled for “spare parts” (Dudley 30). The idea of creating a “Caliban” or a human specifically to act
