please read the 3 scenario’s and answer the question that follows each scenario in 150 words: (there should be 3 answers and each answer made of 150 words)
1)Ethics of Organ Transplants: To give thousands of people a new lease on life through the act of “organ donation” is a tremendous gift. One would think that there is no reason to question the ethics of “transplanting organs.” However, this is really more opinion than a fact, because under the surface lies a quagmire of ethical dilemmas and controversies which could destabilize the entire practice of transplanting organs. These problems have only grown in recent years, with little likelihood of an easy solution any time soon. Research “Organ Transplant” and answer the following questions:
QUESTION:
Should we pay for organs? Should alcoholics be given liver transplants? Are transplants really worth the tremendous costs? Based on its benefits, should everyone be required to become an organ donor?
2)Preventing Heart Disease: Risk factors for heart and vascular disease include age, gender, family history of cardiovascular disease, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, high stress, and not enough exercise. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease. It is the leading cause of death in the United States in both men and women. Research CAD and based on your opinion answer the following questions in detail:
QUESTION:
What are known risk factors for CAD? Are the risk factors preventable? If the risk factor(s) is preventable, should each individual be held accountable for their refusal to exclude the risk factor(s) from their life? Should insurance companies mandate that individuals exclude the preventable risk factors? What are your suggestions for removing the risk factor(s) from society as a whole?
3)Patenting Genetic Sequences: Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have worked out thousands of sequences of genes and the proteins they encode, and similar analysis is being carried out at universities and private companies. Knowledge of the nucleotide sequences of genes might be used to treat genetic defects or produce lifesaving medicine. The NIH and some U.S. biotechnology companies have applied for patents on their discoveries. In Britain, the courts have ruled that a naturally occurring gene cannot be patented.
QUESTION:
Do you think individuals and companies should be able to patent genes and gene products? Before answering, consider the following: What are the purposes of a patent? How might the discoverer of a gene benefit from a patent? How might the public benefit? What negative effects might result from patenting genes?
