Organ Transplant Issues
1. Use of Stem Cell Technology
Personally, I am very septical about all these unnatural life processes (which includes cloning). If all of you can remember Dolly the sheep, she's dead. Apparently, we cannot really play God. These unnatural processes may have adverse effects that we do not know yet. Try interview Dolly. ;p
2. Organ Transplantation
I do agree that there are many successful cases around. But the experience from my aunt tells me otherwise. With high tissue match, she went for kidney transplant, but later on faces tissure rejection. She's still on dialysis now and is more passive than before the transplant. Science and technology gives people hope. But once faced rejection, the patients are more crushed than before. You know, it's like putting a person high up in a building and then when he falls, he dies more terribly.
I will remain septical until statistics show that the chance of getting success is quite high and tested many times. Afterall, for many advances in medicine, scientists and doctors been through years of study to provide us with the many benefits that we have today.
Ok, I'm being naggy. Next better player, please.
