Guest Speaker

On Friday the 10th our class had a teacher named Tina came and talk to our class about kidney transplants. In the past 25 years she as had 3 different transplants, and this all started when she was diagnosed with Lupus disease in 86'. Lupus is an autoimmune disorder and it effects organ systems, skin, joints, and internal organs. Basically it trys to fix your body when it doesn't need fixing. Since her last transplant, she has been doing good and she is very active in road biking and other outdoor activities. Hearing her speak was a real eye opener to how hard it is on your body and how hard it is emotionally to go through a kidney transplant.

Organ Transplants

We read an article on organ transplants, and their contriversies, espeacially when they are given to convicts. The following was my reaction to the article we read.
"What I take away from this article is that the author is being pretty selfish. He states that he thinks a prisoner shouldn't be able to recieve any type of vital organ trasnplant because that means our loved ones are having to wait even longer. but how I see it, if your father was in prison and needed a transplant, he's your loved one. My finally statment is that it's cruel and unhuman to say no to a dieing person, when you could possibly save him/her by giving him/her a trasnplant."

What this is all about
