Need helped deciding which one is right
Transcribed Image Text:* Section 1 - Question 18
To address the shortage of human organs for transplants, scientists have been researching the possibilities of transplanting organs from other animals into humans. Replacing heart valves in
humans with heart valves from pigs has had good success, and now researchers are looking into using organs from various other animal species for human transplant. This type of research
brings up some ethical considerations. Some people say that any research or procedure aimed at benefiting humans should be supported regardless of the animals' welfare, but others say
that animals have the same rights as people and those rights have to be respected.
How might this area of research and innovation move forward and still respect the values placed on both humans and animals?
A
The scientists can limit their research to dead animals only.
B
The scientists can limit their research to animal species that are seen as having little value by society.
The scientists can use genetic engineering techniques to create tissues and organs of these animal species in a lab.
The scientists can use gene therapy techniques and only use DNA from these animal species to replace the DNA of the failing organ in a human.
