Washington: A surprising revelation that the recipient of the pork’s heart transplant that was successful last week had a criminal record of stirring an angry debate in the US on the principles and propriety related to medical treatment in prisoners in the community that had been divided into ethics of xenotransplants – the use of animal organs on man.
David Bennett, 57, who has been saved for now from the terminal heart condition by the doctor who transplants the heart of the foundation into him, has been sentenced to ten years in 1988 after he stabbed a young man, leaving the last wheelchair with a medical complication until his death on his death In 2007.
The victim’s family was news about Bennett’s transplant who managed to be shocked over the weekend, told the trauma media and the problems they were through after a terrible attack.
“Transplants gave him (Bennett) live.
But my brother never got a second chance in life Decent recipient “.
Part of the mainstream media and people on social media take a sympathetic view of the argument.
“More than 1,06,000 Americans are on the national waiting list for organ transplants, and 17 people die every day never receive the organs they need.
In the face of such shortcomings, it can seem not to be concerned for some families being punished because they are punished Sentenced.
Violent crime will be given a lifelong procedure so that it is in desperate, “said Post Washington.
But doctors involved in a clear transplant that the patient’s criminal background is irrelevant in the material.
The University of Maryland’s medical center, where the operation was carried out, said “care save lives to every patient who comes through their doors based on their medical needs, not their background or state of life.” “Other maintenance standards will determine a dangerous precedent and will violate ethical and moral values ​​that support doctors obligations and caregivers must be all patients in their care,” the center said, “this patient came to us in a terrible need and decision Made about the feasibility of transplants only based on his medical record.
“Wrangling came on the heel of a larger debate about the ethics of xenotransplantation.
“We are very afraid of dying that we will now genetically modify other creatures who are very intelligent, without their approval, and raise their offspring as a medical supply chain product that can be harvested? Disgusting,” a doctor who deals with organ solid transplants regularly, writes .
