15:50:13 This is a course on Biomedical Ethics and then Professor Philip Petrino.
15:50:19 This particular unit deals with the matter of the allocation of resources scarce life saving medical resources occasions arise when human life is on the line when you when help is in great Jeopardy even survival is at risk.
15:50:41 What is needed, our resources, which could take the form of medical healthcare personnel render assistance or materials, particularly pharmaceutical drugs needed to save human life, or to work against what is threatening human life therapeutic and occasion.
15:51:04 And then there are surgery that are needed, and even organs.
15:51:21 While a good deal of this module will deal with scarcity of organs and attempts to remedy that situation, or to deal with the allocation of the scarcity of organs.
15:51:25 The basic moral questions issues dilemmas existed. Other times, when there are shortages, such as with the development of a vaccine.
15:51:39 In the midst of a pandemic.
15:51:41 And there is not sufficient supply.
15:51:45 All those who need it, something must be done to determine who will receive it first, which case, a lot of the questions arise as well as with the allocation of organs for transplant page with organ donation.
15:52:02 There's a matter of consent, and are you sure you have improperly obtained consent form.
15:52:09 But even once you have the organ.
15:52:11 How do you determine who is the receiver by many more needed than they were are surprised to meet those demands that has arisen the practice in parts of the world of Oregon buying and selling them.
15:52:25 Human Oregon, and in some places a black market.
15:52:31 There is the question of whether or not, organs can simply be taken from people when they die on there a system called prison consent.
15:52:39 Many countries don't presume concerned, individuals have to give consent, what their next of kin Upon the death of a loved one will be asked and they consent for the transplantation Lord.
15:52:54 Well, people are still alive, they can consent to give up some of their body parts that will not jeopardize their very lives.
15:53:02 And this occurs when people are asked if they are willing to donate something, such as a kidney, or some materials from their liver to someone who's a match for them.
15:53:17 Usually a member of the family someone can someone known to them questions arise as to whether or not living donors are to have total control over who receives they're making so direct them.
15:53:31 There's also a question of once you have organs.
15:53:35 How do you allocate them to those who desperately need you use a chance system of soda lottery, or first come first serve system, or is there some determination to be made based on the person in need and their social work, who is more deserving of an
15:53:54 organ.
15:54:03 And then others attempts have been made to fill the gap between the supply and demand.
15:54:21 Looking at non human species with Oregon, that might be compatible with humans, that becomes a source of supply and questions arise as to whether that is a morally good thing to do.
15:54:18 There's also the matter of finding Oregon's from those who have maybe the eyes of some forfeited delay, because they've taken the life.
15:54:27 And in some countries where capital punishment is still practice organs can be removed from the dead body of a person executed for some really serious crime.
15:54:38 And then those organs are given to those in need within the confines of that political unit country.
15:54:55 There's also a attempt to get organs from those who have said that they have suffered long enough that they do not want to go on living, and they requested that physicians that system in there dying, and to do it in such a manner that their organs will
15:55:02 be useful for transplant purposes.
15:55:06 And there's an interesting case of human bodies that no longer have functioning brains by accident or disease but the organ systems are kept operating under a new idea about what death might be where these organs are kept going for the sake of obtaining
15:55:27 consent from next of kin, meeting the next imprint to believe that their loved one is still alive when in the eyes of the medical authorities.
15:55:38 There's little chance that the coma the person is in called irreversible because it's believed that it cannot be reversed.
15:55:48 Well, whether that one is still alive or medical authorities think not.
15:55:54 Perhaps in the legal jurisdiction they cannot announce that.
15:56:00 But they believe it's taken place, but they'll indicate to the next of kin, know the person may still be alive.
15:56:09 And they're sustaining them in the hopes that the nurse that Kim will grant permission for them to remove the organs for transplantation purposes so the question is how our resources guest life saving medical resources to be allocated to those in need,
15:56:29 desperately need whose lives are hanging in the balance.
