Please take a moment to help the OEC continue its mission of providing a repository for teaching and learning about ethics in engineering and science and fill out this quick survey.
Transplants are evolving to include external organs such as eyes, hands, and faces. there are many ethical issues these so-called vascularized composite allografts (VCAs) raise including who donates, managing surgery, acceptable appearance, getting sound consent, impacts on family, restoration of function, and dangerous side effects. For some artificial prosthetics may be a choice that is preferred over transplant. Costs are a huge issue as well.
Of all the five senses losing sight is the one that individuals fear the most.
