BAT-1: Frankie strikes back

On Monday we’d just started a very interesting discussion when the bell rang. If you remember, we were discussing the statement ‘Nobody (doctors, scientists, artists, etc.) should re-use parts of people’s dead bodies for any reason.’ As it could be expected, we started talking about organ transplantation. There were also some very interesting remarks on the religious views, which I’d like to discuss further – why don’t you write your opinion here?

Later it still occurred to me that we’d never mentioned plastic surgery, which is somehow near the subjects we were discussing about our ‘Frankie’ novel. Have you ever seen Nip/Tuck on TV3 on Tuesdays? Nothing out of this world, but it’s worthwhile to have a look. Anyway, don’t forget to visit the pages I’ve linked for you, and don’t leave me wondering: post your opinions!

    I think that plastic surgery is a good idea, becouse i think that if it is made in a normal hospital and with qualified people, can make you different, but, many people what they want is to make plastic surgery, and, if it is possible, in a cheap price. What happens with that? I am sure that many people died in illegal hospitals. I have seen on tv that a doctor put SILICONE (not quirurgical) to the lips of a girl. Is it logical? I think no

    I think organ transplantation is a successful discovery of scientists.A lot of people which its illnes demands an organ transplantation die before it is realized. This fact is very serious for us. We have to fight with this problem. It is true, that a lot of people give organs when they are alive yet, but they aren’t enough because some of them are vital as the heart. ( I don’t want to discuss with thinks of religion.)

    I think plastic surgery have to be used only when a person has an accident, suffers burnts or when has been operated and need some part of the body immediately.

    I’d like to mention a little comment, too. I refer to give “cell mother” to investigate in bad illness. It is another important topic to remember. At the moment, I think, there is, too, some investigation to give umbilical cord from babies.

    Hi!
    I Think, that there are more factors to have in ours memory to talk about organs transplantations…

    In my opinion, organs will be in use, only in a emergency, for example when somebody have an accident, not in a casual case, because is a serious problem.

    And in my opinion, the persons who can transplantated organs not for an emeregency cause, they should be in prison, because is very dangerous, and it must be ilegal.

    Bye!!

    I agree with everything that can help people who is ill, or that people who wants to see him better.
    Transplantations save to many lives, and I think that everybody who can leave any organ, he had to.
    About plastic surgery, I think that only persons who need it have to use it.

    Hi teacher,

    I had seen the links that you posted and especially I like very much the link of ‘Night/Tuck’ because I like this type of series.

    In my opinion, the organ transplantions must be completely legal in all religions if the operation is to be alive. I think also, that we can put silicone in our body if we want to be more good-looking, but always we had to think that there can be bad consequences.

    I’m agree with Victor at make plastic surgery in a cheap price because there are people that can’t pay so much money.

    Bye!

    I’m agree with transplantions because someday can be that I must to need this. Now, I can think that this practice it’s dangerous if the organ that you need is a vital organ (heart, …).

    However, if you have to change some organ, (in my opinion)you must know the process and the centre where you go is in legal order. I want, when I’ll die, give to the science my organs to the other people can use it to do their lifes long.

    I don’t want that the people that can take my organs to “make longer” their lifes, don’t want these because they can think that the organs transplantation can do they her life change because this part of the body is that another person.

    Hi teacher,
    I think for the transplantion with the organ is very hard for the doctors,because,in days,not are the tecnology necesary power that’s transplantion. What’s organ transplantion that’s moment?I don’t think but the people the day ,I think,this people is able spend his or her money alone the silicone. In conclusion,the film of franky when the Victor change the parts of the body the monster,it’s imposible in the reality live because is very hard for the doctors that’s moment.

    Hi teacher!
    I think organ transplantations have got very positive effects, for example: when you have an illness that is very difficult to cure, you can take organs of another person to alive, or if you have an accident and some organ work badly, you can replace your organ for an other which works better. I’m agree with the use of organs of the people because to save lifes is the first thing that doctors have to do.
    In the case of surgery plastic, I think it should be used to repair damaged parts of your skin if you have burnt a part of the skin, for example, but for improving your beauty it isn’t necessary and also is very expensive.

    Plastic Surgery makes a lot of people happier, maken better their body. And its used very frecuently.

    I think that plastic surgery is quite good for people, because it can make them feel better with their hands, face and all their body.
    However, sometimes people lose their life with it because a doctor’s mistake. A lot of people doesnt like it because they think it’s anti-natural.

    In conclusion, surgery can make better your life or you can lose it.But with the new technology its very safe.

    Hi teacher,

    Is posible that more people think that this isn´t good because put parts of people death in other people isn´t very moral.

    I think organs transplantations was good to people that need other organs to leave.Trnsplantations organs save more people and this is the best that I saw.
    Plastic surgery is the best solution to peolpe that don´t like his body or his face but more people that I saw was horrible.

    In conclusion I think that this is the best to good actions but not to do estupid operations.

    Worod has had some difficulties logging in, so she’s asked me to post this for her:

    Hi,
    Last week we’d started a very interesting discussion; we were discussing the statement ‘Nobody (doctors, scientists, artists, etc.) should re-use parts of people’s dead bodies for any reason.’

    I agree with this argument, because I think that when someone dead should be tranquil in his tomb, this is not only my view point, but also it’s remarks clearly on the religions views. However there are some exceptions on this statement, for example : if somebody accept to give some parts of his body, after he dead, for the scientists to re-use it in their studying that’s will be comprehend from anyone.

    About plastic surgery, I don’t agree with sTeR-cat, I think that putting silicone in our body only because we want to be more good-looking can be unsafe and may have a bad consequences. so that I think that plastic surgery should be used only when it’s really needed.

    Goodbye!
