    Transplants have not been around long enough to be mentioned in the Bible, but experts can apply Godly principles to interpret how God feels about the process. The main argument for organ transplants would be that the Jesus commands humans to “love their neighbor.” We were commanded to sacrifice for one another, and donating an organ would be a selfless sacrifice. The Bible also tells us to remove ourselves of impure things (Matthew 18:8-9) and that would include a damaged…

    Autobiography of a Face

    • 1324 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Lucy Grealy tells a story about not fitting in, unbearable pain that takes up residence in one's head as loneliness and confusion, questioning what things mean, being scared and lost in your family, enduring intense physical pain, and most importantly, figuring out who you are. Lucy had no idea she might die, even though the survival rate for Ewing's sarcoma was only five percent. She does not present her parents as overly afraid for her life, either. Her autobiography is not a story about the fear of death, but about such courage and anguish. Lucy shows how she falls under the spell of her disability, allowing it to control her life and dictate her future to a greater extent than it would otherwise. Having a disability means that sometimes you have to say "I'm disabled, therefore I can't...", but as Lucy finally learns, it also means sometimes saying "I'm disabled, but I can!" Through her traumatic tale of misfortune, she has sifted out truths about beauty, the public, and self-concept.…

    Throughout our reflective practice sessions, few stories have hit me the way that Dr. Grubbs story has. Initially, I found myself strongly doubting that the racial bias she suggested was actually existent in within the transplant system. That doubt quickly became disappointment in myself and an even larger disappointment in the system. As only a well written story with a dramatic and unexpected twist can do, the end of this story brought a couple tears to my eyes.…

    Facial reconstruction

    Do you know what forensic scientists would perform when they attempt to solve the identity of the human remains, which are decomposed, or skeletonized? Forensic scientists apply many different forensic methods, for example, facial reconstruction, in order to determine the identification of the unearthed skeleton (Wagner, 1997). Facial reconstruction is “a forensic technique that attempts to recreate an individual’s face from a skull for the purpose of identification” (Hwang et al., 2012, p.443). It can be divided into three main categories, for instance, two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and superimposition. Each category of reconstruction can produce an approximate face, which is similar to the original individual from the human remains; however, these categories have their own strengths and weaknesses (Vanezis et al, 1989). In this paper, the foundation of facial reconstruction will be discussed in order to examine the accuracy and usefulness of the facial reconstruction that conducted in the documentary “Hunt for the Mad Trapper”.…
