Organ Donation and YouRion Moreland
Who am I? Why am I here?
Pre-Assessment and NotesDon’t worry, this is just so I can see how much you
already know.
I am passing out a copy of the PowerPoint. If you
take notes you will be allowed to use it for part of
the Final Assessment. (pay attention to the italicized words )
What is Organ Donation?Organ donation is when another person voluntarily
donates an organ to someone who is in need of it.
Today, most organs are donated through deaths.
We are able to identify organ donors by a heart on
a drivers license or drivers permit.
How do we use Organ Donation?Currently, three main types of surgeries are used.
Surgeries involving:
tissue donations
Stem Cells
Blood and Platelets
Corneas, the middle ear, skin,
heart valves,
bone, veins, cartilage, tendons,
and ligaments
can be stored in tissue banks and
used to restore sight, cover burns,
repair hearts, replace veins, and
mend damaged connective tissue
and cartilage in recipients.
What tissues can be donated?
What cells can be donated? Healthy adults between the ages of 18-60 can donate blood
stem cells.
Marrow-This soft tissue is found in the interior cavities of
bones. It is a major site of blood cell production and is
removed to obtain stem cells.
Peripheral blood stem cells The same types of stem cells found in marrow can be
pushed out into a donor's bloodstream after the donor
receives daily injections of a medication called filgrastim.
This medication increases the number of stem cells
circulating in the blood and provides a source of donor stem
cells that can be collected in a way that is similar to blood
donation
Cord blood stem cells The umbilical cord that connects a newborn to the mother
during pregnancy contains blood that has been shown to
contain high levels of blood stem cells.
Cord blood can be collected and stored in large freezers for
a long period of time and, therefore, offers another source of
stem cells available for transplanting into patients.
How you (The Student) are involved. http://youtu.be/UqB0HfmduSY
Why is this important?It helps save lives
The advancement in medical technology have
made most types of donations possible.
Demand and need for organs is higher than
the supply
The Current Systems FlawsSupply and demand
Lack of Information
No Publicizing
Section 301 of NOTA
Demand
Supply
Deaths on the waitlist
Lack of InformationHow much are you really told at the DMV?
Do you and your parents have a discussion about
becoming a donor when you get a permit of
license?
How often is it discussed in health classes?
PublicizingNo commercials
No celebrities advocating
Yet you see commercials with celebrities
advocating for PETA, Anti-Bullying, Gun Control,
Gay Rights, Ect.
Section 301 of NOTA
The National Organ Transplant Act of 1984
Outlawed the sale of human organs and the ability to
receive any type of incentive for an organ
This didn’t seem like a big deal when it was created
but it would be the downfall of the system 40 years
later.
That’s it for today Next class we will pick up and continue from where
we left of.
Now I’d like to have the entire class discuss what
they just learned and if you have any questions feel
free to ask me.
New Rising Systems
Organ Market
Dead Donor Rule
Incentive System
Organ Market
The organ market is a new system involving the government regulation of prices on organs for a national market.
The government would have control allowing price regulation (so organ can be afford able) eliminate the need for a black market Increase in supply
Benefits and Harms
Benefit – Programs like this have already been implemented into other countries. This allows us to model the United States program from others.
Benefit – Gives people a motive and reason to donate.
Benefit – Taxable and can be regulated.
Harm – Human nature of desperation.
Harm – to much room for political corruption.
Incentive System A new system which involves the government offering
incentives to organ donors. This allows government control and regulation Incentives would or could include:
tax write off Bonus with tax return Limited tax exemption
Benefits and Harms Benefit – Program would be provided by a body such as a
governmental program, charity or insurer; not by individual patients.
Benefit – Financial need and or wealth would not play a role in who receives the organs.
Harm – The program would need a kick starter. Someone popular to push for support and financial assistance.
Harm – Being able to profile donor right to determine if they are making a good decision
Discussion Get in groups of three or four.
Discuss what you think about these new ideas
Then we will discuss as a class
