Good And Bad
What are the Advantages and disadvantages of using animals for organ tranplants?
The advantage is availability. The disadvantage is mostly tissues rejection which will render the transplanted organ useless and attacked by the immune system. The use of immune supressors may produce worst consequences. There are also ethical and moral issues involved in th slaughter for organ harvesting.
Why do patients need tranplants?
Patients might need transplants if their own organs or tissues are failing due to conditions like organ damage, disease, or injury. Transplants can help restore function and improve quality of life in cases where other treatments are not effective.
Are organ tranplants good or bad?
Organ transplants are generally considered a positive medical advancement as they can save lives and significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with failing organs. However, challenges such as organ shortage, ethical considerations, and the risks of rejection or complications must also be addressed. Overall, the benefits often outweigh the drawbacks, making organ transplants a vital option in modern medicine.
Who preformed the first successful hand transplant?
A hand transplant was performed in Ecuador in 1964, but the patient suffered from transplant rejection after only two weeks. The first short-term success in human hand transplantion occurred with New Zealander Clint Hallam. The operation was performed on September 23, 1998 in Lyon, France. After the operation, Hallam wasn't comfortable with the idea of his transplanted hand, and failed to follow the post-operation drug and physiotherapy programme, and his body started rejecting the hand. The transplanted hand was removed at his request on February 2, 2001. The Hallam case demonstrates the risk of performing these procedures in unsuitable patients. Hallam, a convicted con-man, had many red flags which made him a poor candidate for undertaking the rigorous post-operative regimen required for success. The French surgical team and their process for patient selection were criticized by many peers for seeming to seek media publicity for being the first to perform the procedure instead of carefully selecting a better candidate. The first hand transplant to achieve prolonged success was directed by University of Louisville surgeons Drs. Warren Breidenbach and Tsu-Min Tsai in cooperation with the Kleinert Hand Institute and Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. The procedure was performed on New Jersey native Matthew Scott on January 24, 1999. Scott had lost his hand in a fireworks accident at age 24. In contrast to the earlier attempts at hand transplantation, the Louisville group had performed much of the basic science research and feasibility studies on the proposed procedure. There also was considerable transparency and internal review board oversight involved in the screening and selection of prospective patients. University of Louisville doctors also performed a successful hand transplant on Michigan native Jerry Fisher in February 2001, and Michigan resident David Savage in 2006.[1] On January 14, 2004, the team of Professor Jean-Michel Dubernard (Edouard-Herriot Hospital, France) declared a five-year-old double hand transplant a success. The lessons learned in this case, and in the 26 other hand tranplants (6 double) which occurred between 2000 and 2005, might open the way for more common transplant operations of such organs as the face or larynx. On May 4, 2009 Jeff Kepner, a 57-year-old Augusta, Georgia, resident, underwent the first double hand transplant in the United States at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
