No judgement on those who decline either, there are many religious and medical reasons, i'm just curious if theres a corrolation.

Should organ donation be mandatory?

In the United States, 169 million people are registered donors.

While only fifty-eight percent are registered, the majority of Americans are in favor of organ donation.

Good People Doing Good Things -- Beacons Of Light

It’s that time again … time to turn aside all the darkness and go in search of some good people … you know, the kind that are a beacon of light in this world.  Every week I manage to find at least a few and it is these who truly give us a bit of hope for the future of humanity. Truly giving of himself … Years of alcohol consumption had taken a toll on Paul Voth’s liver, leaving it in dire…

Obviously everyone should be an organ donor because your final act of compassion on this planet can leave an indelible mark on thousands of people by the act of saving a single life, but also there is the reasonable possibility that your eyes will continue to see lizards after your death and why tf would you not opt in to that?

#if you’re not already a donor this is a gentle suggestion to make the change! #organ donor #lizards

Well hello tumblr! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here. A lot has happed to me and to good ol tumblr.

But listen: I got a problem. A kidney problem. You see, my kidneys don’t work like they used to. I got this autoimmune disease that has weakened my kidneys over time and I need some help.

Been looking for a living kidney donor and some funds to help me pay for all these dialysis bills I got stacked up. But what I need most is community. People to help me spread the word. Help get my story out there so I can find my One True Kidney Match. Wouldn’t it be great if they made a dating app but for finding a living kidney donation?! Ah, we aren’t there yet alas.

This page is set up to help me on this search. I have a website and everything that helps me along on this journey. Things haven’t been easy. They’ve been scary, hard, depressing, heartbreaking. I’m only 34 and about to write a living will. I didn’t have that on my bingo card for life. Did you?

Anyway! Help a gal out! Share this post, share my links. Please help however you can

I think vaccinations should be made WAY more ceremonial and include elements to make everyone receiving them feel cool and brave and connected to their community

For every age of vaccine getting by the way!

#we need more ceremonies and I'm not kidding #rambling #blood donation should ALSO be made more ceremonial #and lean into the weird bodily nature of it #deciding to be an organ donor should be more ceremonial!

"For the first time, genetically modified pig kidneys provided “life-sustaining kidney function” during the course of a planned seven-day clinical study—a first step in addressing the critical crisis worldwide of kidney donor organ shortage.

The University of Alabama’s pre-clinical human study at Birmingham also advances the science and promise of xenotransplantation as a therapy to potentially cure end-stage kidney disease—just as a human-to-human transplants can.

“It has been truly extraordinary to see the first-ever preclinical demonstration that appropriately modified pig kidneys can provide normal, life-sustaining kidney function in a human safely and be achieved using a standard immunosuppression regimen,” said UAB transplant surgeon scientist Jayme Locke, M.D., director of UAB’s Comprehensive Transplant Institute and lead author of the paper...

The peer-reviewed findings published last month in JAMA Surgery describes the pioneering pre-clinical human research performed on a recipient experiencing brain death...

The pre-clinical human brain death model developed at UAB can evaluate the safety and feasibility of pig-to-human kidney xenografts, or transplants, without risk to a living human. It is named for transplant pioneer Jim Parsons, an organ donor whose family generously donated his body to advance xenotransplant kidney research, like the latest patient did.

A Critical Need

Kidney disease kills more people each year than breast or prostate cancer, while more than 90,000 people are on the transplant waiting list. More than 800,000 Americans are living with kidney failure and 240 Americans on dialysis die every day. The wait for a deceased donor kidney can be as long as five to 10 years, and almost 5,000 people per year die waiting for a kidney transplant.

Groundbreaking Study Details

The 52-year-old study subject for this research lived with hypertension and stage 2 chronic kidney disease, which affects more than one in seven U.S. adults, or an estimated 37 million Americans. As part of this study, the subject had both of his native kidneys removed and dialysis stopped, followed by a crossmatch-compatible xenotransplant with two 10 gene-edited pig kidneys, or UKidney.

The transplanted pig kidneys made urine within four minutes of re-perfusion and produced more than 37 liters of urine in the first 24 hours. The pig kidneys continued to function as they would in a living human for the entirety of the seven-day study. Also, the kidneys were still viable at the time the study was concluded.

“In the first 24 hours these kidneys made over 37 liters of urine,” said Dr. Locke. “It was really a remarkable thing to see.” ...

Gene editing in pigs to reduce immune rejection has made organ transplants from pigs to humans possible. The natural lifespan of a pig is 30 years, they are easily bred, and they have organs of similar size to humans. Genetically modified pig kidneys have been extensively tested in non-human primates, and the addition of UAB’s preclinical human research model—the Parsons Model—now provides important information about the safety and efficacy of kidneys in human transplant recipients."

grif's surgery but just a little more... obvious?

I actually rly rly ADORE frankengrif but I don't have an in-show reason why he'd have extensive long-term allogeneic skingrafts on his face 😔

#rvb #red vs blue #dexter grif #grif #*24 #mine #art #cw wounds #Look I love biology stuff like this so I like researching what would be at least semi-plausible even if it's just for a dumb halo show that #makes 0 sense where CPR cures a headshot but i cant help it!!! and like the 'lazy' reason for it would be sarge is just crazy like that but #its not a good reason imo. and like the things he lists needing replacement are mostly internal and body parts which makes sense #considering how grif got injured by sheila like I could 100% see that rupturing organs and crushing his hand and there being burns etc #but like nothing points to grif needing any surgery above the neck and i dont think anyone mentions his face being different? i could #make up injuries for him but nothing in the show actually supports that he'd need grafts for anything but his body.. #I'm SOO ready to be convinced otherwise btw like I said I want an obvious frankengrif to be true so bad !! #AGH would it be too insane of me to make like a surgery/injury overview thing for grif just so i can convince myself abt this idea... #i can bend to some fun stuff tho im not a total joykill u know! thats why i give his body the mismatched donor skin look despite allogeneic #grafts not being permanent w/ current tech. like it really doesn't matter if it's realistic or whatever but also Yes It Does. #and like during/after chorus would grey offer to 'fix' it? i imagine the feds could mesh a skin so they could use grif's own skin.. #or like during rats nest when they got reassigned?

so, statistically speaking and based on worldwide demographic data from 2022, the most “average” person would be a middle-aged Chinese/East Asian male

in all systems red, murderbot describes its features as “averagely human”

unrelated to this, i giggle a little whenever i see someone draw murderbot with east asian features in fanart

#Like i know its organic components and features are from a clone donor #But the implication that the Company made it appearance statistically average is hilarious actually #ITS ALSO FUNNY BC THIS MAKES IT LOOK LIKE AN AVERAGE WEEB WITH ITS BLORBOS AND ASOCIAL LEANINGS #its a robot made for working but in its binary soul its a NEET #murderbot diaries #murderbot #all systems red
