Read the story of Blake who was the recipient of an organ(heart) transplant. There
are other stories too on the link given above. Feel free to browse through any or as
many of them.
Also, go through some of the statistics related to organ donation on the link given
below:

Based on statistics, you would have understood that there is a need to promote
organ donation. Which of the following factors do you think should be considered
while deciding the same.

ln the year 2000, the United States started using 'The Final Rule" to decide the fairest way
to assign organs to those waiting for them. Dactors designed a system for ranking patients
using six criteria. Which af these 12 criteria would you guess they included and which did
they leave out? Use your knowledge -of the immune system and how mutticeliular organisms

‘0 research and collate information to produce a persuasive speech, as
learnt in your English classes, to convince people for organ donation
ROLE: You are a doctor who is delivering the speech at a public event aimed at
generating awareness regarding organ donation.
AUDIENCE: The general people who has turned up to listen to you. Keep your
audience in mind as you prepare and deliver your speech.
SITUATION: Studying about human body should lead to people being able to make
better decisions about their choices. The aim of the task is to create awareness
regarding the same.
PRODUCT: The speech which should be 400-500 words and include the following:
-Description of what is organ transplant and how does it allow people
to get a new lease of life. (Criterion D, Lili)
-Discuss and analyse the implications of promoting organ donation
with respect to any of the three factors (given below are guiding
questions for each of them) (Criterion D, ii) Use the graphic organiser
to collate your research.
-Cite your sources of research in MLA format.

Factor
ECONOMIC is defined as “pertaining to the production, distribution, and use of
income, wealth, and commodities.”
The costs and benefits of using science. Who pays or receives the benefit? Is it
worth it? How much will it cost? Are the potential benefits worth the cost? Who
pays for it, private companies, the Government, consumers?
Pro:
1, Reduced Healthcare Costs: While the initial cost of an organ transplant surgery and post-
operative care can be high, in the long run, it can significantly reduce healthcare costs.
2. Increased Productivity: Organ transplant recipients often experience improved health and
quality of life, enabling them to return to work or resume their dally activities. This leads to
increased productivity and contribution to the economy through employment and taxes.
Con:
According to a 2002 study, selling a kidney in India doesn't lead to long-term economic
benefit and may be associated with a decline in health.
If not accurately matched, the donor’s organ can be rejected by the recipients body, causing
organ rejection. This can lead to a direct waste of money which will be spent on surgery and
recovery.
POLITICAL is defined as “of, pertaining to, or involving the state or its
government.” Is the government involved directly or are powerful groups trying
to influence people or the government or the UN etc?
Why would the Government be for or against this the application of this science
and how would it affect other countries?
Pro:
Prometheus School/MYP 3/Science/Term 2/Unit 4/SA/2023-24 7PROMETHEUS
SCHOOL
learning RE imogined Summative Task Sheet
Con:
SOCIAL is defined as “of or pertaining to the life, welfare, and relations of
human beings in a community.”
The people affected or involved, from a few people up to the global community.
How will this application of science affect society, will it affect everyone or a
select group? Will it unfairly affect one group of society over another?
Will everyone have access to the science/solution or only the privileged?
Pro:
1. Supporting Families: Organ transplantation not only benefits recipients but also provides hope
and relief to their families and caregivers. Seeing their loved one regain health and vitality
following 2 successful transplant can strengthen family bonds and improve overall well-being.
2. Promoting Organ Donation Awareness: The need for organ donors highlights the
importance of raising awareness about organ donation and transplantation within
society. Successful transplant stories and public education initiatives can encourage
individuals to register as organ donors, leading to an increase in the donor pool and
saving more lives.
Con:
1, Stigmatization and Discrimination: Organ transplantation may be accompanied by societal
stigma or discrimination, particularly forrecipients or donors with certain medical conditions or
marginalized identities
2. Organ Trafficking and Exploitation: The global demand for organs has led to concerns about
organ trafficking, illegal organ trade, and exploitation of vulnerable populations. Instances of
coercion, exaloitation, and unethical practices in organ procurement and transplantation raise

serious ethical and human rights issues.
CULTURAL is defined as “of, relating to, or associated with the behaviours and
beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic, or age group.”
A problem in one place is seen differently in another for reasons such as faith,
tradition, and different belief values. Would people from different cultures be
affected the same way or have the same opinion on the scientific solution.
Some religions are against certain medical procedures, from organ transplants
to blood donations. https://www.gov.wales/sites/default/files/statistics-and-
research/2019-07/150730-religious-beliefs-attitudes-organ-donation-summary-
en.pdf
Pro:
1, Cultural Acceptance and Integration: Organ transplantation can promote cultural acceptance
and integration by bringing together diverse communities and individuals for a common,
purpose: saving lives
2. Cross-Cultural Collaboration: Organ transplantation fosters cross-cultural collaboration and
cooperation among healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and advocacy groups
worldwide
Con:
1, Religious and Cultural Beliefs: Organ transplantation may conflict with religious or cultural
beliefs regarding the sanctity of the body, definitions of death, and attitudes toward organ
donation. Some cultures may have specific rituals or traditions surrounding death and burial
that discourage or prohibit organ donation, leading to ethical dilemmas and cultural tensions.
2. Trust and Mistrust: Cultural factors such as historical experiences of discrimination,
exploitation, or medical injustices may influence trust and mistrust in healthcare systems and
transplantation practices,
MORAL/ETHICAL is defined as “pertaining to or dealing with morals or the
