Hi, ladies!!
It is Tuesday, September 16, 2008, today, and getting nice weather this afternoon.
Rose, thank you for letting us know about interesting information about Anne of Green Gables. In fact, I was eagerly watching the program this spring. When I read the novel in Japanese in my girlhood, I didn’t notice that the story was so related to Christianity. Of course, there might be always certain relation between Christianity and Western novels, as well as Buddhism and Japanese ones. These days, the more I learn Western culture, the more deeply I’d like to learn Christianity. In that sense, Plum’s tutorial is full of lessons, and so are members’ advices. I hope you will have a fantastic time at Plum’s tutorial with us, Rose.
Sunflower, Cosmos and Peach, I appreciate your writings about such charged issues, and I always copied them to learn fundamental points of view. We can be a pro and a con, as Plum told us, but I can’t control them so pragmatically…
Well, today’s topic:
Should organ transplants be made more available in Japan?
Medical science has been developed and contributed to human beings for a long time, however, it should be said that organ transplants have very complicated problem to solve, and I believe we should take a cautious attitude.
Firstly, after organ transplant surgery, many patients died from rejection or a relapse. The more serious patient’s condition is, the more that rate increases. It can cause harmful effects as a whole.
Secondly, it is unethical to violate human dignity by cutting the bodies into pieces. Other approach should be improved to cure a disease, and it can be possible with highly-developed medical science.
Finally, recent studies show many cases that run counter to belief that brain death means the complete end of life. Thus, the assumption would break down before organ transplants. It goes against our healthy care.
In conclusion, although it can take effect in some extent, we have to think of other treatment to replace organ transplants. People should put ethics before scientific progress and we will need to be careful how we deal with it.

Hi, Cherry and friends,
It is Tuesday September 16, cloudy.
We had a shower yesterday, so I weeded this morning for justShould organ transplants be made more available in Japan?
ten minutes or so. "Hagi" has just started blooming. I am amazed with its vital energy. However hard I trim, it grows rapidly. I should learn more from these strong plants.
Should organ transplants be made more available in Japan?
Organ transplants should not be made more available in Japan without the paitients' will. Suppose I have a child who is seriously ill, my answer would not be changed. I have three reasons for this. First, we should think more seriouly about natural life. Accepting one's fate is something worth considering. I'm sure it is painful for the family involved, though.
Second if the organ transplant operation has more popularity and commonly conducted, the business of selling the organs will be prevailing. In this case, people who are rich enough can have the organ. It is not fair, and the idea frightens me a lot.
Third, the definition of death is not clear. If some doctors who are eager to make a success want to use more fresh organ from brain dead patients, can we allow it?
As far as we cannot reach the perfect answer on the definition of death, we should not make it more available.
With these three reasons, I don't think organ transplant should be more available. (170)
I wish I could write more compact one with dense meaning.
Third, organs should be kept in one's body. s commonly considered can we overcome the There are three reasons why I com
Hi, ladies!
I read the negative opinions for “organ transplant” of Cherry’s and Peach’s.
I’ll rack my brains to make up an affirmative idea for this topic.
Cherry said that people should put ethics before scientific progress. What is “ethics”? I don’t think that trying to save human life, using every possible means is against “ethics”. Today, nobody think that “blood transfusion” is evil treatment. It is accepted as a very ordinary treatment all over the world. But it is the same idea as organ transplant, in the term of using belongings of someone’s body. But thanks to the developed medical technology, nobody doubt it is a risky treatment. Of course “blood transfusion” has sometimes caused side-effect and rejection, but the cured people have far surpassed unlucky troubled patients in numbers. Please believe in scientific medical approach and trust doctors, who are struggling to save even one life of the two dying people.
I am sorry for the short opinion with one reason. Oh, I’d like to add one fact. The believers of Jehovah haven’t accepted “blood transfusion” yet, even in a serious operation, even nowadays. They think that operation is against God. How stubborn they are!
Bye, everybody. See you again.
