Mr. Huanming, volunteered to be a potential participant in a full body transplant at the Harbin Medical University. This controversial surgery would involve the almost impossible task of reconnecting all the nerves in the spinal cord. Dr. Ren Xiaoping, who assisted in the first full hand transplant, is not worried by the difficulty and assembled a team for research. 

Many believe this is pushing the ethical and practical limits of science. Any mistakes in the surgery could result in death. "For most people, it's at best premature and at worst reckless," said Dr. James L. Bernat. The surgery has been related to cutting the trans-Atlantic phone cable being cut in half and being glued back together. This procedure is very bioethically questionable, and there are doubts if the risk is worth the reward, or if this procedure is even possible to do.

Dr. Xiaoping is confident in his ability to perform the surgery. In his early research on mice he successfully transplanted new heads on mice but the subjects would die after a day. Currently, Dr. Xiaoping has teamed up with Dr. Sergio Canavero, an Italian neurosurgeon, to successfully repair several severed spinal cords in monkeys and dogs. Dr. Canavero expressed "[Surgeons have] stuck to the view that a severed spinal cord cannot be mended in any way...". Many other ground breaking surgeries such as the first heart transplant was majorly opposed to begin with, but now a few thousand heart transplants happen successfully happen every year.]]> 2020-11-17 18:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chapmanep18/kncy39ok869mr6g2/wish/933350890 Case 2- Growth stunting for disabled children grantvarnum123 https://padlet.com/chapmanep18/kncy39ok869mr6g2/wish/933353680 Ricky Preslar, a child from cloudcroft, New Mexico, was diagnosed with a form of cerebral palsy called spastic quadriplegia with static encephalopathy. This damaged his brain so that he never mentally developed past that of a 6 month old, and he can barely see or hold his own body weight. At the age of 4 he began to receive growth-attenuation therapy. This is a high dose of estrogen that stunts in growth plates. At 7 years old, Ricky was 42 inches tall and 37 pounds , the size of an average  4 year old.  Stunting Ricky's growth allows for his care to not be as much of a imposition on the family as the care of a full drown adult would be. Bathing and carrying the child like body can be done without hoists or extra help.

In 2006, a team of doctors , Dr. Daniel Diekema and Dr. Daniel Gunther, performed the same procedure on a young girl. A girl only known as  Ashley or "Ashley X"  underwent a hysterotomy as well as  a removal of her breast nodules to prevent possible side effects of such high doses of estrogen. This met backlash when the  group Feminist Response in Disability Activism protested and accused the doctors of violating Ashley's right to privacy and freedom from unnecessary bodily manipulation. Her care did not constitute any kid of "Treatment " at all and the sterilization was done without a court order, which is a violation of state law. 

Regardless of this controversy,  Ashley's parents are happy with the procedures. They have made a website and discussion  board, pillowangel.org ]]> 2020-11-17 18:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/chapmanep18/kncy39ok869mr6g2/wish/933353680 How Frankenstein helps us think grantvarnum123 https://padlet.com/chapmanep18/kncy39ok869mr6g2/wish/934095173 Frankenstein helps us think about consequences that can come from scientific experiments and exploration. It also shows that there is always pros and cons to every life changing experiment. It makes you think about if the experiment will be regretted by anyone involved in it.

"I was encouraged to hope my present attempts would lay the foundations of future success."
This connects to the case because if the transplant succeeds it would not be perfect, but it would give the patient a future to look forward to and the opportunity to live a close to normal life as possible.

In the case one of the parents says “Not everybody is very good at parsing out what’s a communication problem and what's actually going on in the brain” .The parents can figure out what is going on in the child's brain or bothering the disabled child because they can not speak. This connects to Frankenstein because in the story it says in chapter nine This state of mine preyed upon my health, which had perhaps never entirely recovered from the first shock it had sustained" Victor had a mental illness and his parents were worried about him because he did not speak or communicate with them, and this made it hard for his family to know if he was fine, like in the case it was hard for the parents to know figure out what was going on and if their child was fine.

The doctors talk about how you can’t reconnect the spin and get those nerves to work again
 
Frankenstein’s- “Know that while you are pleased with yourself, you think of us with affection, and we shall hear regularly from you”
Victor created monster for someone to replace as his family but didn’t realize he can’t create emotions and love for monster he has to figure that out on his own everything can’t be connected by science it has to come from within 
Mr. Wang and Frankenstein both thought you could be able to reconnect anything with science but really, it’s all about your body and how it chooses to works verses using science

Frankenstein
“The world was to me a secret which I desired”
Frankenstein explains his desire to figure out secrets in this world and the impossibilities and make them come true. So he created a monster without anyone else knowing and kept it a secret  
The family and Frankenstein both wanted to keeping things in secret. Rather than let the whole world know and judge them from the start. Possibly make a decision to proceed with thing or not

I also believe that it depends on the situation. For example, when I was born I had to have a talectomy
 operation to give me the ability  to walk , as well as lots of physical therapy I don't believe in trying to recreate life or cloning. I feel like these are factors that God himself has control of.]]> 2020-11-17 21:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/chapmanep18/kncy39ok869mr6g2/wish/934106103 Grant's thoughts grantvarnum123 https://padlet.com/chapmanep18/kncy39ok869mr6g2/wish/934106796 I believe that that science will continue to advance and almost anything will be possible in the future. That being said I believe there are moral limits to science that could restrict advancement. Currently there are laws set that state research products must go through the proper channels, such as beginning testing on animals instead of humans. So, as technology progresses science will progress as well. While not being physically bound, science will be bound or restricted by bioethics.]]> 2020-11-17 21:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/chapmanep18/kncy39ok869mr6g2/wish/934106796 Jayda's thoughts grantvarnum123 https://padlet.com/chapmanep18/kncy39ok869mr6g2/wish/934107618 I do believe there are limits when it comes to science. When experimenting with medicine or inventions. Their's always some ups and down the experiment can fail or react to something also. Science will always be something new every day it’s not something that you read. In a book, one time and you’ll know everything about science. When medicine or experiments doesn’t work, they go on to something new.

I believe we could do a lot of things with science, but i also believe that there is a certain extent to how far we could go with because it can not be completely controlled. Also believe that there are limits to science because of nature. Nature is the center of science' there nature can physically stop us from doing anythings we would want to do or test. I also believe not everything can be tested or experimented because science is all together a mystery.]]> 2020-11-17 21:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/chapmanep18/kncy39ok869mr6g2/wish/934109014
