Massella Ethical Dilemmas

Though it may seem as unhuman to use animals in research studies, would it not be seen as even more inhuman if scientists used humans in their experiments? A majority of scientific research, especially if it involves healthcare advances, typically have an ethical dilemma. However the ethical dilemma may be seen, the benefit for human lives as a whole can seen as the most important aspect of all research and studies that relate to the good of mankind. With that, the growing of organs is a essential need for people as the demand for organs grow and the availability of human organs are extremely low. Although the ethical dilemma of growing organs is still in a debatable discussion period, the research for the advancements of the growing organs
As a young boy he was looking at having a life full of dialysis and challenges that would keep him from having a healthy life. Massella stated that as a young boy he wouldn’t be able to play at recess because he would be too tired afterword’s, he was miserable (1). This is a challenge that children like Massella’s face every day with no cure to their medical problems. He stated that he had previously had 16 surgeries to try to help him to get better, but failing each time. However, after having the grown organ made by Anthony Atala implanted into him, Massella was able to have a normal life as a child and was able to do the things that he wanted to do. Massella admitted that he did not realize how amazing the grown organ was at the time and how life changing it would be for him in the long run. Captain of the wrestling team of his high school and later going on to study communications and mass media at the University of Connecticut, Luke Massella is grateful for the hard work and dedication of Atala’s with his development of growing organs which saved his life and has now allowed him to become a successful college student. This is an eye opening story about the success of the growing of organs in a young boys life, which also shows society how scientists hard work and accomplishments has saved lives and can save millions more. Not only will those in need of organs see the benefit of these advancements,
With dozens of successful stories, such as the one of Luke Massella, our society is looking at benefiting all of mankind. Beginning with the works of Alexis Carrel and Charles A. Lindbergh in 1938, and seeing the success of a bladder developed by Anthony Atala, people can see how far along science has come with creating new ways to save people and not having to rely on others to give them an organ. With 90 percent of organs needed being solid organs, which are vital for every person, it is essential that the education for better understanding and the research of growing organs continue throughout the world. By allowing scientists to grow organs and to better understand how to create the most effective and efficient organs they can with the use of a persons cells, our world can strive with medical advances to help save those in need. Religious beliefs can be protects, cancer patients can be healed, families can keep their loved ones, and people can live their lives happy and healthy with the use of growing organs with their own cells which can replace their organs that do not function properly. There is still much research to be done on the process of growing organs, along with many ethical questions to be answer. Nevertheless, growing organs is an amazing development that will soon save millions of lives and change the
