Transplant
An operation in which an organ or tissue is transplanted.
Organ transplant
The surgical removal of a healthy organ from one person and its transplantation into another person whose organ has failed or was injured is often lifesaving and gives the recipient a wonderful new lease on life.
e.g. heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, intestine, and thymus
Tissue Transplant
Tissues include bones, tendons, cornea, skin, heart valves, nerves and veins.

Organ transplant candidates need to make some substantial lifestyle changes
• Such as losing a moderate or large amount of weight
• Stopping smoking
• Don’t be a silent sufferer!
• Dental cleaning is generally recommended every six months for transplant recipients.
• Keep stress low
![Page 8: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How long will it take?
Transplant surgery times differ a lot. A few examples include:
• Liver, 5 to 8 hours
• Kidney, 4 to 5 hours
• Pancreas, 2 to 4 hours
• Both kidney and pancreas, 5 to 7 hours
Your surgeon can give you a better estimate, taking into account your specific circumstances.
![Page 9: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
After the Treatment• After an organ transplant, most patients quickly feel better. They go on to enjoy a significantly
improved quality of life.
• You will need to take immunosuppressant (anti-rejection) drugs. These drugs help prevent your immune system from attacking ("rejecting") the donor organ. (for lifetime)
• Hair growth or hair loss
• Acne
• Mood swings
• Weight gain
• Diarrhea
• High blood pressure and High cholesterol
• Elevated blood sugar level
![Page 10: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The symptoms of rejection
• The organ's function may start to decrease
• General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
• Pain or swelling in the area of the organ (rare)
• Fever (rare)
• Flu-like symptoms, including chills, body aches, nausea, cough, and shortness of breath
• The symptoms depend on the transplanted organ or tissue. For example, patients who reject a kidney may have less urine and patients who reject a heart may have symptoms of heart failure
![Page 11: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Precautions after Transplant
• Wash your hands often
• Avoid people who are sick.
• Avoid people who have been recently vaccinated.
• Stay out of crowded areas
• Don't take care of pets.
• Don't garden.
• Brush and floss daily.
• Don't ignore cuts or scratches.

Issues of Transplantation
![Page 13: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Organ Transplantation:
• Organ donation is the donation of biological tissue or an organ of the human body, from a living or dead person to a living recipient in need of a transplantation
![Page 14: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ethical Principles:
• AutonomyImplies that a person should be given choices in regards to the situations involved in their dying
• Non-maleficenceProtects the patient from more harm. A patient can donate their vital organs for as long as it does not cause further harm
![Page 15: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Issues:
• Deontological Issues
• Clonning Issues
• Xenotransplant Issues
![Page 16: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Deontological Issues:
• Certain groups oppose organ donation on religious grounds,
• Most of the world's religions support donation as a charitable act of great benefit to the community.
• Issues surrounding patient autonomy, living wills, and guardianship.
![Page 17: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cloning Issues• The use of cloning to produce organs with an identical genotype to
the recipient has issues all its own.
• Creation of an entire being for the sole purpose of using it as spare parts.
• zero-percent chance of transplant rejection.
• The use of cloning to produce organs.
• However, it may be possible in the future to use cloned stem-cells to grow a new organ without creating a new human being.
![Page 18: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Xenotransplant Issues
• Highly successful means of transplant
• Xenotransplantation, the transplantation of organs, tissues or cells from one species to another.
• If applied to man, would offer the possibility of a huge supply of organs, tissues and cells for transplantation thereby relieving the “chronic” shortage of human donor.
![Page 19: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Health Risks:
• the introduction of new infectious agents into the human population.
• Risk by means of two characteristics: the level of probability and the extent of damage.
![Page 20: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
EUGENICS
![Page 21: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Eugenics
• Good genes” or “good birth”
• Term coined 1883
• The use of genetics to improve the health of a population.
• It is a movement that is aimed at improving the genetic composition of the human race.
• Eugenicists advocated selective breeding to achieve these goals.
![Page 22: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Defining Eugenics
• “Improving human genetic qualities”
• "Eugenics is the study of agencies under social control that may
improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations,
whether physically or mentally."
![Page 23: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Eugenics is influenced by
• Origin of Species: Natural Selection
• “Survival of the fittest”
• Mendel’s studies on the inheritance of traits
• Agriculture/Animal Breeding
![Page 24: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Types• Eugenics can be divided into two types : Negative & positive eugenics
Positive eugenics:
Encourage people with “good genes” to have more children.
Negative selection:
People with inferior and undesirable trait are prevented from reproducing . It don’t allow “bad genes” to be reproduced.
![Page 25: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Positive Eugenics
Positive eugenics - increase frequency of beneficial genes
• Sperm banks
• Genetic engineering
• Parthenogenesis
• Cloning
![Page 26: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Negative Eugenics
Decrease frequency of deleterious genes
• 2 - 2.5% of children born in the US are markedly defective - mentally or physically
• Two reasons for prevalence of deleterious genes
1. Although deleterious in homozygous condition, may produce hybrid vigor in heterozygous
2. Frequency of deleterious genes is now high because natural selection has been artificially reduced
![Page 27: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
EXAMPLE
• Sterilization of men is done by vasectomy involving an operation in which sperm duct is blocked.
• Sterilization of women is done by tubectomy which involves an operation in which fallopian tube is blocked.
![Page 29: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
US Laws supporting Eugenics
• Miscegenation laws against mixing races
• Immigration Laws
Limits on Eastern and Southern Europeans (based on IQ tests, inmate/asylum studies
• Sterilization Laws
Model Eugenical Sterilization Law (Laughlin, 1922) defines socially inadequate classes
![Page 30: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
US Supreme Court Case
The case of Buck vs. Bell Carrie Buck
• Mother, Emma, was in asylum
• Gave birth at age 17 out of wedlock
• Daughter, Vivian, was examined at seven months and deemed feebleminded
• Charged with feeblemindedness, immorality, prostitution, and untruthfulness
• Supreme Court Ruling: “It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind…Three generations of imbeciles is enough.” – Justice Oliver Holmes

![Page 32: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Concepts of Eugenics
![Page 33: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Concepts in Eugenics
• Intelligence and social class
• Miscegenation (racial purity)
• Hemophilia and Huntington’s Disease
• Genetic defects
![Page 34: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
How they are doing it?
• Genetic screening
• Birth control
• Promotion differential birth rates
• Marriage restrictions
• Segregation (racial and mentally ill)
• Forced abortions or pregnancies
• Genocide
![Page 35: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Methods of Eugenics
• Mandatory eugenics: government-mandated
• Promotional voluntary eugenics: suggested to the general population
• Private eugenics: voluntary participation
![Page 36: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Genetic Testing
• Predictive testing: Polycystic kidney disease
• Fluid-filled sacs grow on kidneys, possibly other organs
• Autosomal dominant (50% chance if one parent is affected)
• Onset: 30 to 40 years, possibly earlier/later
• No cure available; life-prolonging treatment possible (dialysis or kidney transplantation)
![Page 37: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Genetic Counseling
• “An informative and supportive dialogue regarding a known, potential, or unsuspected genetic condition.”
• Manic-depressive illness (Kay Redfield Jamison)
“To whom is the genetic counselor responsible? The patient or married couple alone? Other family members? Future generations who may suffer increasing numbers of persons with genetic defects?” Ruth Macklin, “Moral Issues in Human Genetics: Counseling or Control?”
![Page 38: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Prenatal Genetic Testing
• Cystic fibrosis
• Recessive (25% chance if both parents are carriers)
• Life expectancy: 30 years
• Carrier test available to pregnant couples or those planning to become pregnant
![Page 39: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Flaws of Eugenics
• Failure to recognize the complexity of human traits
• Disregard of environmental/social factors
• Skewed results
• Linking undesirable traits with racial and ethnic groups
• Disregard of effects on genetic diversity
• Flawed IQ testing
![Page 40: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The Fall of Eugenics
• Mainly due to atrocities committed by Nazis
• Emerging evidence against Eugenic claims
• Reginald Punnet
• Hardy-Weinberg
• Opposition from the Church/Mosque
![Page 41: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Eugenics Then and Now
• Then: Focus on selective breeding.
• Now: Focus on prenatal testing and screening, genetic counseling, birth control, in vitro fertilization, and genetic engineering.
![Page 42: Transplants , eugenics and their issues](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052405/5a6518fb7f8b9aa2548b6ff9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Role-Play Activity
• The Review Board has to determine a policy for the hospital regarding whether PGD should be permitted for the following purposes:
• to help two CF carriers avoid passing on the disease;
• to help a couple produce umbilical cord cells for an existing child with Fanconi’s anemia;
• to help a couple select the sex of their child for “family balancing”;
• To help a short couple produce a taller child.
