Research further on the use and availability of artificial organs. Then, in your main post, answer the following discussion topics:
1. List any organs or body parts that scientists can now artificially grow in a lab specifically for an individual. Explain how this is done.
2. Discuss whether or not these artificial organs can permanently replace the original human organ.
3. Who, if anyone, should be a prime candidate for these types of artificial/synthetic replacements? Do you feel that anyone should have access to them? Even a life-long smoker or alcoholic who knowingly subjected themselves to harmful substances? Why or why not.
4. Who should be in charge of making the judgment call on who should receive artificial organs and structures? Explain your decision.
