Book Synopsis Cord Blood by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Cord Blood written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-11-26 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the potential for self-renewal and differentiation, the possibilities for stem cells are enormous. One specific type of stem cell, the hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC), which is derived from umbilical cord blood (as well as adult bone marrow and mobilized peripheral blood), holds particular promise. To make the most of these HPCs, the Institute of Medicine was asked to consider the optimal structure for a national cord blood program and to address pertinent issues related to maximizing the potential of stem cell technology. Cord Blood: Establishing a National Hematopoietic Stem Cell Bank Program examines: The role of cord blood in stem cell transplantation The current status of blood banks already in existence The optimal structure for the cord blood program The current use and utility of cord blood for stem cell transplants The best way to advance the use of cord blood units and make them available for research Expert advice from leaders in the fields of economics, public health, medicine, and biostatistics combine to make this very timely and topical book useful to a number of stakeholders.
Book Synopsis The Umbilical Cord Blood Controversies in Medical Law by : Karen Devine
Download or read book The Umbilical Cord Blood Controversies in Medical Law written by Karen Devine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the therapeutic value of umbilical cord blood (UCB) stem cells was first recognised in the late 1980s, there has been a proliferation of both public and private UCB banks worldwide. However, the ability to utilise such a potentially valuable resource has provoked a number of controversies. In a distinctly accessible style, this book unpacks the socio-legal implications of the UCB collection process and constructs a detailed analysis of the law and ethics that surrounds UCB banking in the UK, including ownership of the cells. Its enquiry is located within the theoretical framework of altruism versus self-interest and explores the notions of risk and choice associated with this distinctive blend of public/private healthcare provision. The book evaluates the impact of the Human Tissue Act 2004 and the European Union Tissues and Cells Directive (2004/23/EC) on the UCB industry and provides a unique insight into the effect that the law may have on the NHS whose maternity staff and premises are used to collect UCB. This book would be of interest primarily to a UK readership in addition to expectant families, health professionals, students, academics, practitioners and the UCB industry elsewhere in the world.
Book Synopsis Is Commercial Cord Blood Banking Ethical? by : Rachel Inbar
Download or read book Is Commercial Cord Blood Banking Ethical? written by Rachel Inbar and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You're expecting a baby. A whole new human being who completely depends on you to do everything possible to give her or him the best chance at life. You've carefully chosen the safest car seat, the crib with the best reviews and are determined that your baby be breastfed... so, how could you not use the single opportunity you have to bank his or her cord blood too? I mean, what if 10 years down the line your child has an illness that can be cured using it - and you didn't bank. How are you going to feel then? This paper, written as a seminar paper for a business ethics course, cites over 40 sources, with the goal of exploring the ethical aspects of commercial cord blood banking. The paper begins with an overview of what cord blood is, its status (is it medical waste or a valuable treasure?), its possible uses, alternatives to use of autologous cord blood (cord blood from the patient herself), and likelihood of use. It goes on to discuss ethical aspects using guidelines of medical ethics, Kant's Categorical Imperative and Rawl's Theory of Justice - and how commercial cord blood banking complies and does not comply to each. It discusses ethical questions that arise, including the effects of manipulative advertising on informed consent and the exploitation of vulnerability. The paper concludes with a clear conclusion that will help any parent make the informed decision s/he could not make without having the information presented here - a decision that can be made with no regrets or second thoughts. The writer of the paper was highly commended for her comprehensive approach the topic and awarded the grade of 99.

Book Synopsis A Conspiracy of Cells by : Michael Gold
Download or read book A Conspiracy of Cells written by Michael Gold and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Conspiracy of Cells presents the first full account of one of medical science's more bizarre and costly mistakes. On October 4, 1951, a young black woman named Henrietta Lacks died of cervical cancer. That is, most of Henrietta Lacks died. In a laboratory dish at the Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, a few cells taken from her fatal tumor continued to live--to thrive, in fact. For reasons unknown, her cells, code-named "HeLa," grew more vigorously than any other cells in culture at the time. Long-time science reporter Michael Gold describes in graphic detail how the errant HeLa cells spread, contaminating and overwhelming other cell cultures, sabotaging research projects, and eluding detection until they had managed to infiltrate scientific laboratories worldwide. He tracks the efforts of geneticist Walter Nelson-Rees to alert a sceptical scientific community to the rampant HeLa contamination. And he reconstructs Nelson-Rees's crusade to expose the embarrassing mistakes and bogus conclusions of researchers who unknowingly abetted HeLa's spread.

Book excerpt: This book discusses the common principles of morality and ethics derived from divinely endowed intuitive reason through the creation of al-fitr' a (nature) and human intellect (al-‘aql). Biomedical topics are presented and ethical issues related to topics such as genetic testing, assisted reproduction and organ transplantation are discussed. Whereas these natural sources are God’s special gifts to human beings, God’s revelation as given to the prophets is the supernatural source of divine guidance through which human communities have been guided at all times through history. The second part of the book concentrates on the objectives of Islamic religious practice – the maqa' sid – which include: Preservation of Faith, Preservation of Life, Preservation of Mind (intellect and reason), Preservation of Progeny (al-nasl) and Preservation of Property. Lastly, the third part of the book discusses selected topical issues, including abortion, assisted reproduction devices, genetics, organ transplantation, brain death and end-of-life aspects. For each topic, the current medical evidence is followed by a detailed discussion of the ethical issues involved.
