Question
Imagine you are a surgeon. Five patients in the hospital are in urgent need of different organ transplants to
survive. One of them needs a heart, one a lung, one a liver, and the other two each a kidney. All five
happen to have the same rare blood type, so it is hard to find the right donor. At this time, a foreign
traveler came to the hospital for a simple body check. By chance, he has the same rare blood type as
theirs. With your expertise, as long as you use some simple medication to end the life of the traveler
painlessly and without the notice of others, then his organs can save the five people awaiting organ
transplants
What would you do? Would you kill one person to save five people?

How would you explain this?arrow_forwardSickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is the result of a type of mutation in the gene that codes for part of the hemoglobin molecule. Hemoglobin carries oxygen in your red bloods cells. The mutation causes these red blood cells to become stiff & sickle-shaped when they release their oxygen. The sickled cells tend to get stuck in blood vessels, causing pain and increased risk of stroke, blindness, damage to the heart & lungs, and other conditions. -- Analyze the DNA strands below to determine what amino acid is changed AND what type of mutation occurred Normal hemoglobin DNA CACGTAGACTGAGGACTC..

Red bone marrow produces all seven formed elements. The process begins with specialized cells called hematopoietic stem cells , which have the ability to develop into all formed elements. When more of a particular formed element is needed, some of these specialized cells will transform into colony forming units that are fate-determined to become only the type of formed element that is currently needed. These will then multiply in number, maturing into a series of precursor cells before finally becoming the desired formed element. erythropoiesis is specific name for hemopoiesis when new erythrocytes are being made. It follows the pattern above, producing a series of precursor cells, which ultimately results in the nucleus being discarded, and an immature cell called a reticulocyte being produced. This cell is released into the…arrow_forward
