Saturday Evening Post Organ Donation
2,195 words... locally first. Mickey Mantle got his liver quickly because he was classified the most critically needy patient in the Dallas area (Adato). The fifth myth is the minority candidates wait longer owing to bias in the system. In fact, no consideration is given to race, only to medical facts. In many transplants the necessary matching antigens are more likely to occur between people of similar race or ethnicity. Blacks are one of the lowest groups to give to organ donation.

455 wordsCloning humans can be very beneficial. Although cloning has a low success rate, with more research and support, it can become very useful to our society. We will be able to clone people for adoption and clone organs for transplants that would save lives. We could also use research on animals to cure or help diseases and disease research. There are many reasons to support human cloning research, and I hope these reasons will persuade you to think the same way. Cloning has the potential for enormo...

1,351 wordsStem Cells: Could this be the technology to cure cancer? By: Ali Right Stem cells could be the greatest medical advance in history in the sense that most of our serious diseases can be cured. Stem cells have the potential to morph into other cell types in the body.

Human Brain Side Effects
475 wordsBrain Transplant Medical technology has seemed to advance enough so that doctors are able to perform brain transplants. So far this procedure has only been successfully performed on animals, and now doctors hope to perform this procedure on humans.

Even though brain transplants can be successfully performed on animals, this does not mean tha...
