My thought was that if you know how to keep tissue alive there must be some way of equalizing the reserve supply to the area of the throat and face." - Director of the Young Women's Christian Association, page 102 BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH Is it Ethical? Potential Uses Utilitarianism advantageous to society Kant's theory of respect, dignity and the Duty of respect requires stringent regulation Iris Marion Young Gene Therapy as a means for justice Stem Cells Cloning Reproductive Dolly - the first mammal to be cloned from adult DNA Therapeutic Mississippi Appendectomies According to Code of Federal Regulations, Part 46, biomedical research is conducted for the purpose of systematically collecting and analyzing data from which generalizable conclusions may be drawn that may aid in improving the care of currently unknown beneficiaries in the future. The chief role of human participants in research is to serve as sources of needed data. used more narrowly Aims at enhancement efforts to enhance a person's capabilities beyond a normal level a technique for correcting defective genes that are responsible for disease development Already in use...but not on humans 1952: live cancer cells injected into prisoners at Ohio State Prision --> 1/2 black, 1/2 white 1962: 22 elderly patients at the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital in Brooklyn, NY injected w/ cancer cells The First Case "Scientists do all kinds of experiments and you never know what they doin. I still wonder how many people they got in London walkin around look just like my mother."

Transcript: Because of biomedical engineering doctors have been able to detect early signs of disease and cure these people and save lives. Also because of biomedical engineering doctors have been able to make vaccines to help people gain imunity aginst dangerous diseases such as swine flu and breast cancer. Although it's still possible to contract these diseases the possiblity is lowered because of biomedical engineering, but there are some draw backs. Chemotherapy is a method to treat some cancers but because of the radioactivity envolved patients lose their hair and have brittle nails, but even now biomedical engineers are thinking of a safer way to treat these cancers University If you want to be a biomedical engineer here are some of the courses you would have to take. I want to be a biomedical engineer, what do I need to know? semiconductor 1 and 2, bigital circuts and systems,biology(ofcourse), and many more! Biomedical engineering is the appliction of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field. This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine. It combines the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare diagnosis,monitoring, and therapy. what is biomedical engineering? Biomedical Engineering How does it help the world? Here are some schools you might consider,too

Transcript: Define the Medical Problem Also, Case Western Reserve's biomedical engineering program has been ranked in the top ten. Career Experimental Testing The salary of a biomedical engineer varies drastically depending on the type of engineer and job you have. For example, a level one biomedical engineer will make an average of $50,000 per year, but a level five biomedical engineer will average $100,000 a year. There are also many other lucrative jobs that relate to biomedical engineering, but are not actually biomedical engineers, such as other sorts of doctors, businessmen, and human resources for large biomedical supply companies. Specify, Understand, and Abide by Requirements Experimental Process Obviously, biomedical engineering is of great importance to the progression of society, in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, and quality of life. For that plethora of reasons, I am interested in the field and even have contemplated going into biomedical engineering. There are so many possibilities presented by the field, both in the discovery of greater medical technology and the benefits and implications for the patients. Yuan Cheng Fung is well-known for his work with "tissue engineering", a term he coined himself. His artificial tissues have been used to treat burn patients. Furthermore, his research in tissue engineering has led to the production of tissues for hearts, lungs, and organs. The mesh is made out of a synthetic plastic material, such as polypropylene, and is placed in or around the weak area to provide a scaffolding on which the new tissue can grow and repair the hernia. It is not very invasive, is very flexible and comfortable, and eventually decomposes into the tissue. Salary As a part of their undergraduate training, most aspiring biomedical engineers must take certain science classes: Molecules and Cells, Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics, and General Chemistry.

Do Background Research on the Topic, and Brainstorm a Solution to a Problem Do Background Research Build a Prototype Analyze and Conclude Johns Hopkins University has been rated as having the best biomedical engineering program in the country. CNN has ranked biomedical engineering as the tenth best profession for its combination of technology and biology to keep the job interesting. Although the experimental process is used for many scientific experiments, for engineering, the engineering design process is often used. Nanoskin, a breakthrough in biomedical engineering, has been applied to prosthetics. This completely artificial material is infection-resistant because it so closely mimics the contures of the skin around the attachment fixtures (screws). Also, nanoskin has been developed to the point that it can relay the sensation of touch through a prosthetic limb with pressure sensitive wires and coatings. Moreover, its cheaper and more flexible (and durable) than current prosthetics. Moving forward, scientists are looking into using electrical signals with nanoskin to produce comprehensive movement controlled by the brain. Company Biomedical

Transcript: Why did I choose this topic? I chose this topic because abuse around the world is hurting our people. Abuse should not be the way people handle things. It is happening to alot of people especially our women and I believe it should be stopped. To research my topic I will be using Newspapers and and articles to see how other cultures handle abuse around the world. I will also use the internet to also see how others handle abuse in their country. Domestic violence, also known as domestic abuse, spousal abuse, battering, family violence, and intimate partner violence (IPV), is defined as a pattern of abusive behaviors by one partner against another in an intimate relationship such as marriage, dating,and family. Why is Domestic Violence wrong? Abuse Is Painful
