Would you want to buy a black market organ if your loved one had an organ failure?

Would you sell your organs for money?

Benefits:

Harmful:

Benefits:

It provides an alternative way for those who are waiting for transplants and it resets the patient's immune system so it recognise the donor organ as its their own. It eliminates the need for life-long immune-suppression drugs. It reduces the shortage of organs, allowing transplants to be more accessible to patients in need. It can also reduce the need for animal testing. It reduces the rate of infection risk. As the lab mostly has clean environments and will minimise the risk of infection.

Harmful:

unknow health risk that could potentially be long-term or it could cause infections if it doesn't function properly. Adult stem cells, like the kind found in cord blood and bone marrow, have regenerative properties, but their potential is limited by their advanced developmental stage. They cannot be induced to develop into any other cell unless they are “reprogrammed” first.

Benefits:

cloning allows for the creation of genes with no flaws.

Harmful:

It increases the birth size and a variety of defects in vital organs, such as the liver, brain and the heart. They would have premature aging and problems with the immune system. It can cause a mix up between the real person and the clone and can allow people to blame the wrong person with whatever they have done.

What do we require to clone an organism?

to make a clone, scientist would need to transfer the DNA from the animal's somatic cell into an egg cell that had its nucleus and DNA removed.

If the clone committed a crime, who is responsible for it?

The person who created cloning and scientist too for making this happen

Benefits : Lab grown meat allows less animals to be killed per year, this way, animals such as cows, chickens, and pigs that humans would eat, are less prone to extinction.

Harmful : Some of the lab-grown meat are processed, so it is not very healthy to humans. Lab grown meat also produces between 4 and 25 times as much carbon dioxide as regular beef. This can cause global warming, since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Lab grown meat also requires a lot of money to produce

Benefits: If people are and poverty and are in desperate need of money, they may result in selling their organs for money to escape poverty and may even be rich depending on what ad how many organs they sell.

Harmful: There are many risks to be discussed before selling your organs. It is very dangerous selling your organs to an illegal source as the chances of not surving is fairly high.

If my family member had organ failure i would not buy organs off the black market as its really risky, instead go to the hospital but in dire siatuations may consider buying organs from the black market.

Your organs are priceless, health is definitely more important then anything else. But i could sell my organs for a higher price and just buy another one for cheaper in the end giving me a profit.

I would sell my organs if i am trying to escape poverty or just dont see the purpose in life anymore.

Benefits: Allows recipients to buy organs for their surgery faster and cheaper

Harmful: The surgery is often unhygienic and can lead to further damage of the body.

May harm the economy as more people are buying from the black market and not hospitals.

Unethical as people who are desperate for quick cash and exploited for money and result them selling their organs or forced to sell it.

It can also result to further crimes like tax evasion, violence etc.

Therefore, I would not sell my organs or buy them in the black market as it is not ethical and may harm other people

Benefits: Lab grown meat helps to reduce environmental impact and improved animal welfare. With cultivated meat, you can adjust the medium in which the living cells are grown to add certain vitamins and nutrients that would alter, and perhaps improve, its nutritional quality.

Harmful: One study by the University of California, Davis even estimated that the process produces between 4 and 25 times as much carbon dioxide as regular beef. Ever since the first lab-grown burger, which cost a mere $330,000 (£263,400) to create. this shows that it is expensive to produced which is an disadvantage to those who cannot afford for it in the future.

Pros: You can save your loved one's life or other people who need it. You can get profit from the donation. You can be one step closer to getting out of the warzone.

Cons: They will not be concerned about hygiene when surgery and it might cause you to have chronic pain which causes you to not be able to work which causes you to have more debt

Is it real meat?

Yes! Lab grown meat is indeed real meat. Although lab grown meat is not identical to the meat you would get from an actual animal, it is made of the same cells and is mostly the same structure.

What are the cells missing from lab grown meat as compared to normal meat?

Lab grown meat contains the exact same cell types of regular meat, only excluding immune cells that would normally protect actual meat, and blood cells that would normally be present in actual meat.

Discussion of lab grown meat:

Lab grown meat is controversial as there is no consensus if it is harmful or beneficial to mankind.

The benefits of lab grown meat is that it would be more ethical. You could create and consume meat that would taste exactly like the real thing, without the slaughter of billions of animals. The lab grown meat can also be catered to the likes of other people as you can alter the amount of fat cells or meat cells. It can also protect endangered animals that are hunted for their meat such as the Bluefin Tuna. Vitamins, nutrients and proteins can be added to lab grown meat to make it more healthy to consume too.

The harmful effects of lab grown meat is that it is less safe to consume than regular meat. The lab grown meat does not contain immune cells which makes it much more susceptible to infections and disease, meaning you need to be much more cautious in creating, shipping and consuming the meat. Lab grown meat is also considerably more expensive than regular meat, making it harder to mass produce and make a profit due to the costs. Lab grown meat is also very inaccessible, only being sold in Singapore.

Overall, we think lab grown meat is beneficial to mankind, as it can reduce the slaughter of animals.

Lab grown organs.

Organs grown in the lab could cause potential unknown diseases

Some are like miniature, lab-grown organs. Known as organoids, they may also carry out some of the same roles of the organs they're meant to mimic. With organoids, Smith and others hope to study how diseases might affect internal organs. Organoids also can stand in for our organs to test the effects of potential drugs.

the advantages of lab grown organisms are Organoids closely match the structure and function of full-size human organs. This allows researchers to study how many different diseases or viruses may affect human health. They also allow researchers to better understand stem cells.

it can help clone endangered animals away from extinction. Humans can clone animals which are going extinct and they can help with reproduction. Humans can also clone organs which can help with orang transplant. Some people with have brain tumor or cancer the clone brain can help with the transplant.

Harmful: Cloning animals have high risk of going wrong as it is not stable yet
