Send feedback ADVERTISEMENT Transplants: 50 years of saving lives Many advances have occurred since the first successful transplant, but hurdles remain. Key among them is a shortage of donor organs. By Susan J. Landers AMNews staff. Feb. 16, 2004. Washington For hundreds of years, physicians knew that otherwise healthy patients were dying for lack of a functioning part. But the transplantation of a healthy organ from a body that could spare it to one that was needy remained a fantasy until, in 1954, a team of surgeons in Boston showed that it was possible. Joseph E. Murray, MD, John Hartwell Harrison, MD, and John P. Merrill, MD, pulled off the astounding act. They successfully transplanted a fit kidney from Ronald Herrick into his identical twin, Richard, who was dying of kidney disease.

Although taking organs from farm animals such as pigs offers the possibility of an almost limitless supply, the organs still do not work well in people and there is too big a chance that an unknown virus could pass into the human population, the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation said.

Mini-transplants Since the first successful bone marrow transplant in humans, in 1968, researchers have been looking for ways to make bone marrow and stem cell transplants less toxic. Although the number of transplant-related deaths has declined markedly over the past thirty years, the risk of developing significant complications after an allogeneic transplant (a transplant using bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells provided by a donor) is still substantial. Because of these toxic side effects, allogeneic transplants have been used primarily to treat younger patients and those without pre-existing organ damage whose bodies are able to withstand the rigors of the treatment. Patients are routinely hospitalized during their treatment and part of the recovery period so that complications can be quickly detected and managed. The Theory These observations have prompted researchers to ask several intriguing questions: What would happen if patients were given lower, less toxic doses of chemotherapy and radiation prior to transplant? Could patients with leukemia and other cancers rely solely on the power of the graft-versus-leukemia effect, rather than high-dose chemotherapy and radiation, to eradicate their disease? Could patients with inherited blood disorders or immune deficiency diseases be cured with transplants that use a less toxic preparative regimen, despite the fact that not all of their diseased bone marrow will be destroyed?

Address to International Congress on Transplants [including comments on cloning] Pope John Paul II, August 29, 2000 Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, 1. I am happy to greet all of you at this International Congress, which has brought you together for a reflection on the complex and delicate theme of transplants. I thank Professor Raffaello Cortesini and Professor Oscar Salvatierra for their kind words, and I extend a special greeting to the Italian Authorities present. To all of you I express my gratitude for your kind invitation to take part in this meeting and I very much appreciate the serious consideration you are giving to the moral teaching of the Church. With respect for science and being attentive above all to the law of God, the Church has no other aim but the integral good of the human person. Transplants are a great step forward in science's service of man, and not a few people today owe their lives to an organ transplant. Increasingly, the technique of transplants has proven to be a valid means of attaining the primary goal of all medicine the service of human life. That is why in the Encyclical Letter Evangelium Vitae I suggested that one way of nurturing a genuine culture of life "is the donation of organs, performed in an ethically acceptable manner, with a view to offering a chance of health and even of life itself to the sick who sometimes have no other hope" (

CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) Livers from deceased donors do not always reach the neediest patients in the United States because of population disparities, researchers said. The problem, according to the report from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, is that the procurement groups which facilitate liver transplants are not standardized in size, and can cover population pools as small as 1.2 million people to as many as 8 million. Government regulations issued in 1998 were designed to bring equality to the system by making sure that organ allocation areas for livers be standardized with about 9 million people each. But that has never been implemented, the study added, because smaller transplant organizations objected and because no single solution has been worked out for the whole country. The report, appearing in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association, reviewed data for U.S. transplant recipients between February 28, 2002, and March 31, 2003. It looked at the number of transplants and how patients ranked on a nationwide scoring system implemented in February 2002 to more fairly prioritize patients.

FS 225 Revised April 1993 Producing Transplants at Home R. McNeilan If you want to print this publication, we recommend downloading the PDF version. Transplants are young seedlings of varieties of flowers and vegetables that are commonly used to shorten the time between planting and harvest. Transplants of tomatoes, for example, are started indoors 6 to 8 weeks before weather would allow them to grow outside. By the time the weather moderates for vegetable or annual flower growth, a strong and sturdy young plant can be developed for transplanting to the garden or landscape. Transplants, properly grown and in abundant quantity, can be purchased at reasonable prices at many garden centers in the spring. When buying transplants, consider the following suggestions: Buy only those that appear healthy. If a seedling has not been properly grown and has not been given careful handling in market preparation, it may never grow to your expectations. Select moderately sized, leafy plants that have not begun to bloom. Spindly plants will take longer to start growing. Excessively tall plants may be hard to hold erect until they develop stems strong enough to withstand wind in your garden. The blossoms on tomatoes and peppers and marigolds may be a detriment to growth and establishment of the young plant.
