Jaki jest najtrudniejszy problem etyczny, jaki stwarza przeszczep serca?

Dylemat etyczny obraca się wokół pytania, czy dawcy rzeczywiście są martwi, gdy zostaną uznani za zmarłych na podstawie kryteriów śmierci sercowo-naczyniowej w celu pobrania narządów. W obecnej epoce z powodu chorób zakaźnych istotne stało się poszerzenie puli narządów dostępnych do przeszczepu, ale sposoby, aby to zrobić, stwarzają wiele dylematów etycznych. Argument deontologiczny sugeruje, że środki do celu powinny być zgodne z powiązaną z nimi moralnością. Prawa i normy przeciwko zabójstwom zabraniają zabójstw dokonywanych w jakimkolwiek celu, w tym zabójstw dokonywanych w celu uzyskania narządów w celu ratowania życia innych. Te prawa i normy mają zastosowanie nawet wtedy, gdy dana osoba jest nieprzytomna, bardzo osłabiona lub bardzo bliska śmierci. Dawcy narządów muszą umrzeć przed pobraniem narządów, a samo pobranie narządów nie powinno prowadzić do śmierć dawcy. Natomiast utylitaryzm koncentruje się na wadze celów (nie dbając o środki).

How do they keep a donor heart alive?
Called “heart in a box” by developers, the TransMedics’ Organ Care System is a sterile box that houses the donor heart and keeps it oxygenated and nourished with continuously circulating blood, fed into the heart through clamped-on tubing. Thus the donor heart keeps pumping while being transported.
Do you have to be alive to be an organ donor?
 

Do you have to be alive to be an organ donor?
While some organs, such as a single kidney, can be donated while the donor is alive, most organ donations occur after the donor has died. The medical profession considers people whose brains have irreversibly ceased to function to be dead.

 

Can you give someone your heart if you are alive?
The heart must be donated by someone who is brain-dead but is still on life support. The donor heart must be in normal condition without disease and must be matched as closely as possible to your blood and /or tissue type to reduce the chance that your body will reject it.
Why does the body reject transplants?
This is because the person’s immune system detects that the antigens on the cells of the organ are different or not “matched.” Mismatched organs, or organs that are not matched closely enough, can trigger a blood transfusion reaction or transplant rejection.
How did David Rockefeller get 7 heart transplants at the age of 101?
He had funds to buy anything…..including body parts. I just read an article claiming that China is harvesting body parts from prisoners. What makes folks believe that someone that could buy anything would not use that kind of power to bypass legalities and just buy a heart….or two on the black market?
What are the moral problems posed by organ transplants?
The two major ethical issues that are of considerable concern are the autonomy of the donor and recipient and the utility of the procedure. The transplant team must inform the donor of all the risks. The recipient must also accept that the donor is placing himself at great risk.

 

Ukraine tops Europe in organ trafficking
The illegal organ trafficking trade is flourishing in Ukraine as the country’s medical infrastructure and legislation make vital transplant organs hard to come by. In many countries such as Russia, doctors are permitted to use the organs of the deceased as long as the person has not written a statement prohibiting it. In Ukraine, a dead person’s organs can only be used with the permission of the relatives. This has resulted in a booming black market in organs.
The case of the missing children
Lost babies and corpses without organs fuel allegations of trafficking in body parts in Ukraine

It’s hard to look at the tiny corpses unearthed from the graveyard near Hospital No. 6. Forensic photographs show bodies apparently mutilated before they were dumped into a mass grave in Kharkiv, a city in eastern Ukraine.

In one photo, a man wearing surgical gloves holds several pieces of flesh, arranging the fragments to resemble what might have been an infant before it was dismembered.

Hospital officials say these gruesome images reveal nothing except the biological waste from dozens of routine abortions. But relatives of women who gave birth at Hospital No. 6 say they are part of growing evidence suggesting something sinister: newborns taken from their mothers, disappearing in a region known for trafficking in harvested organs and human tissue.

 

Events that changed the world : First heart transplant,

Cape town, South Africa, December 3, 1967

In 1967 an operation was carried out in Cape Town, South Africa, that revolutionized surgery as we knew it, and started the ball rolling on a procedure that would save millions of lives. On December 3, Christiaan Barnard completed the world’s first full heart transplant.

Barnard was a surgeon from Beaufort West, South Africa, who had travelled to the USA as a 31-year-old postgraduate in 1956, specializing in cardiac surgery. He returned to South Africa two years later, to the

Groote Schuur Hospital teaching facility where he began his career with a residency, assembling its first cardiac team.He prepared for the milestone procedure by performing South Africa’s first kidney transplant, in October 1967. He was already seen as one of the country’s top surgeons, and with several completed heart transplants on animals the next step was clear.

The patient was chosen; Louis Washkansky had incurable heart disease and, at 54, was still relatively young. With the end in sight, he had no hesitation in agreeing to the operation. His donor had to come through tragic circumstance, in the form of Denise Darvall, a young woman killed in a road accident.

Barnard’s 30-strong team, including his brother Marius, took five hours to complete the transplant from Darvall to Washkansky, but at its conclusion the heart was beating with no mechanical assistance.

Tragedy struck just 18 days later, however, as Washkansky died from severe pneumonia; his fragile immune system could not resist the infection so soon after the procedure.

Despite this, the transplant was considered a huge success, as Washkansky’s new heart continued to beat unaided right up until his death. Further attempts were longerlasting, with one patient, Dirk van Zyl, living on for 23 years after his 1971 operation, to the age of 68.

Since the first surgery, thousands of people have undergone successful heart transplants, though a lack of donors has kept the number from rising faster. British surgeon Sir Terrence English performed the world’s first heart and lung transplant in 1984.

  3. _____________ relating to the heart.

  5. _____________resistant to a particular infection or toxin owing to the presence of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells.
  6. _____________ (of a sick person or a disease) not able to be cured.

It is infinitely better to transplant a heart than to bury it to be devoured by worms.

Lekcja #39 Marilyn Monroe and Eve Arnold

Lekcja #39 Marilyn Monroe and Eve Arnold

by | May 9, 2022 | Bezpłatna lekcja na youtube

Przyjaźń między modelką a fotografem:

Eve Arnold zaczęła fotografować Marilyn Monroe po tym, jak aktorka zobaczyła zdjęcia Marlene Dietrich w Esquire. Spotkały się na przyjęciu, a Monroe stwierdziła: „Skoro tak świetnie Ci wyszło z Marlene, czy możesz sobie wyobrazić, co mogłabyś osiągnąć ze mną?” Tak rozpoczęła się ich współpraca zawodowa, która po latach przekształciła się we wzajemną przyjaźń. Arnold sfotografowała Monroe sześć razy w ciągu dekady. Najkrótsza sesja trwała dwie godziny, a najdłuższa dwa miesiące, kiedy widywała ją codziennie podczas kręcenia filmu The Misfits.

Aparat uwielbiał Marilyn Monroe, a Marilyn uwielbiała pozować, jak mówi fotograf Eve Arnold. To w jej studio zrobiono zdjęcie po lewej stronie. W Hollywood, gdzie najważniejsza jest kontrola wizerunku gwiazdy, sesja w studiu może być pokazem samym w sobie, wymagająca współpracy wielu asystentów, wizażystów, firm cateringowych.

Przyjaźń Eve Arnold z Marilyn Monroe trwała ponad dekadę i pozwoliła jej na fotografowanie codziennego życia aktorki w sposób, w jaki niewielu innych fotografów potrafiło.

Tylko kilka zdjęć pochodzi z reżyserowanych sesji studyjnych; większość była wykonana na planie filmowym, w kasynach lub po prostu wtedy, gdy Marilyn nie patrzyła. Połączenie reporterskich umiejętności Arnold i wyglądu Monroe tworzy niesamowite zdjęcia.

Ale mimo to na każdym zdjęciu – niezależnie od tego, czy jest w letniej sukience, grając w bilarda w 1960 roku, czy zakładając górę od bikini na Long Island w 1955 roku – Monroe udaje się zachować swoją pozę gwiazdki. Daje to wspaniałe obrazy, ale jaki to musiał być dla niej wysiłek, aby ciągle “grać”.

I pomimo wszystkich prób Arnold, Monroe nigdy tak naprawdę nie zdejmuje “maski” – byłoby prawie ciekawiej zobaczyć ją bez makijażu.

Arnold chciała wyjść poza seksualność Monroe, na której tak koncentrowali się inni fotografowie. Jednak przy tych wszystkich intencjach intymność między fotografem a obiektem sprawia, że zdjęcia i tak, aczkolwiek pozytywnie, emanują zmysłowością.

The camera loved Marilyn Monroe-and Marilyn loved posing, according to veteran celebrity photographer Eve Arnold, in whose studio the picture at right was taken. In Hollywood, where control of the star’s image is all important, a studio session can be a show in itself, requiring technicians, assistants, makeup artists, caterers-not to mention the star’s entourage (Monroe brought a gang of seven friends to lend support at this shoot). Recalling that day in her book Marilyn Monroe: An Appreciation (Knopf; 1987), Arnold tells us that it took three or four hours simply to prepare the star for the camera: because she was to pose in a bikini and a slip, full-body makeup was required, including shading and highlights. “When Marilyn finally emerged from the dressing room, she was sparkling: hair, face, body, fingernails and toenails all newly attended to. Her entourage applauded.” 

Hollywood photographers strive for the same result as veteran TIME cover photographers Gregory Heisler and William Coupon, or legendary portraitists Yousuf Karsh and Arnold Newman: they hope to create an icon, an idealised, almost platonic realisation of the subject’s essence. But the studio environment is inherently limiting. As Arnold notes, “A studio session … provides the greatest chance for control. [But] even though there is total freedom, I still dislike studio photography and the contrived images that usually stem from this genre.” Philippe Halsman, another highly regarded portrait photographer, also chafed at the studio’s formality. He finally came up with the notion of asking his subjects to jump at the end of his sessions, hoping the physical movement would help break down the decorum demanded by the situation. 

Great portraits have their place: our mental image of Winston Churchill is likely to be Karsh’s famous shot of the great man’s glowering, bulldog countenance. Yet we crave informality. We demand the uncontrived. We want to see the powerful and the famous with their guard down. More than idealisation, we want revelation. And that demands access not the illicit access of the paparazzi, whose stolen images leave us feeling complicit in the theft of privacy they require. We want the access achieved by photographers who earn the trust of their subjects and return with images that expose their hidden places: X rays of the soul.

  1. Charles: Why am I always at, uh, weddings, and never actually getting married, Matt? Matthew: It’s probably ’cause you’re a bit scruffy.

  2. Charles: Why am I always at, uh, weddings, and never actually getting married, Matt? Matthew: It’s probably ’cause you’re a bit scruffy. Or it could also be ’cause you haven’t met the right girl. Charles: Ah, but you see, is that it? Maybe I have met the right girls. Maybe I meet the right girls all the time. Maybe it’s me.
  3. At Gareth’s funeral:
    Gareth used to prefer funerals to weddings. He said it was easier to get enthusiastic about a ceremony one had an outside chance of eventually being involved in.
    In order to prepare this speech, I rang a few people, to get a general picture of how Gareth was regarded by those who met him. Fat seems to be a word people most connected with him. Terribly rude also rang a lot of bells. So very fat and very rude seems to have been a stranger’s viewpoint.
    On the other hand, some of you have been kind enough to ring me to tell me that you loved him, which I know he’d be thrilled to hear. You remember his fabulous hospitality… his strange experimental cooking. The recipe for “Duck à la Banana” fortunately goes with him to his grave. Most of all, you tell me of his enormous capacity for joy. When joyful, when joyful for highly vocal drunkenness.
    But joyful is how I hope you’ll remember him. Not stuck in a box in a church. Pick your favorite of his waistcoats and remember him that way. The most splendid, replete, big-hearted, weak-hearted as it turned out, and jolly bugger most of us ever met.
    As for me, you may ask how I’ll remember him, what I thought of him. Unfortunately there I run out of words. Perhaps you will forgive me if I turn from my own feelings to the words of another splendid bugger: W.H. Auden. This is actually what I want to say:
    “Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone. Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone. Silence the pianos and with muffled drum, Bring out the coffin… let the mourners come. Let the aeroplanes circle, moaning overhead, Scribbling on the sky the message: He is Dead. Put crepe bows ’round the white necks of the public doves, Let traffic policemen wear black, cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West. My working week and my Sunday rest. My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song, I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now, put out every one. Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun. Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood, For nothing now can ever come to any good.”

    Zadanie 4. Przeczytaj komentarze. Czy zgadzasz się z nimi?

    1. In the early 1990s, the English rock band Genesis released one of their biggest hits, “Jesus He Knows Me”.  This song’s lyrics do nothing but attack televangelists and pastors. They mainly attack preachers who deceive their congregations (viewers) and use the name of Jesus Christ to extort ridiculous amounts of money from them.

    These lyrics, which are highly satirical, were written at the time when televangelism was becoming very popular in America and various parts of the world. Around that time, numerous prominent televangelists in the United States found themselves in scandals that had to do with conning their own followers. Most of the scam came in the form of the pastors telling their congregations that they would only receive miracles and financial breakthroughs if they gave their monies to “God”. Interestingly, many of these so called “men of God” enriched themselves with these monies meant for “God”. And as if that wan’t enough, they lived very flamboyant lifestyles with these ill gotten monies.  Is “Jesus He Knows Me” against Christianity or religions in general? Many think that this classic is an anti-religion song, but it isn’t. The song just speaks out against unscrupulous preachers and their fraudulent activities.

    2. fucking stupid americans and their bullshit TV preachers. How much does it cost to buy comfort?

    3. This song has nothing to do with atheism. This song came out around the time when there was scandals going on within some Christian churches here in the USA. While there was scandals going on in some churches, mainly in the televangelist tv programs, it certainly does not represent other Christian churches.

    4. Clearly a very bitter satirical song about religion and television evangelists who don’t “practice what they preach” but instead offer salvation for money. But this idea isn`t new. The “rotteness” of the Roman Catholic Church was at the heart of Martin Luther’s attack on it in 1517 when he wrote the “95 Theses” (->Reformation).

    5. I am a Christian and I’ve been to what I call “disfunctional churches” that take advantage of the people’s faith and take almost all of their money, energy, and time.

    Jesus is Real and his Word is so true and deep that all of them who use His name for personal purposes will have their punishment as a hinder for the truth of the Gospel to be spread and reach people. But who can deny we’ve all sinned and everyone of us will have to give account to a mighty God after this life for our deeds, good and bad. And no one of us will pass this test, if it’s not by having beien cleansed by the Blood of Jesus and having faith in Him.

    He is the only one that was born without sin. He was born, lived, died and rose from the dead without sin. He is the only salvation possible for our lives.

    May God bless everybody
