Chapter 24, Problem 15TYK
Organ donation saves many lives each year. Even though some transplanted organs are derived from living donors, the majority come from patients who die but still have healthy organs that can be of value to a transplant recipient. Potential organ donors can fill out an organ donation card to specify their wishes. If the donor is in critical condition and dying, the donor’s family is usually consulted to discuss the donation process. Generally, the next of kin must approve before donation can occur, regardless of whether the patient has completed an organ donation card. In some cases, a family member overrides the donor’s wishes. Do you think that family members should be able to overrule the stated intentions of the potential donor? Why or why not? Have you signed up to be an organ donor? Why or why not?

Items 1 to 5 refer to the following

In the 1800s blood transfusions were
practiced; blood was transferred from one
person to another. Sometimes the
transfusions were miraculously successful,
while at other times persons experienced
pain, tingling sensations, and often death. In
1901 a scientific basis was recognized for
successful transfusion of blood. It was
realized that blood had to be divided into
groups, and only certain types could be
transfused successfully to a given individual.
If an incompatible blood type is transfused
into a person, the blood cells will clump
together in a reaction called agglutination.
Agglutination is due to a reaction between
antigens and antibodies in the blood. An
antigen refers to any substance that produces
an immune response; usually the body reacts
by producing antibodies. The antibodies fight
off the antigens, which are considered
invading substances.
