Future Crime Scenario Paper

From the very first successful kidney transplant in the United States in 1954 involving identical twins Ronald and Richard Herrick (NPR, 2004), doctors have been trying to come up with new ways to transplant organs. Many years of research and trials have brought us to where we are today. Most of the research so far has been trying to come up with better drugs to keep a person's body from rejecting the transplant. The problem with this type of research is that you have to have people die to donate a body part and then try the new drugs on the recipient of the organ. People are living longer and many are not willing to sign a donation card so that doctors would be able to use them even when that person does die.

However, doctors and scientists have researched and come up with ways to grow human body parts. Researchers have been able to inject these molds with human cells to get the body part that they need to grow. Researchers have a lot of things that they can and cannot do when doing research on new technology. They have to develop a plan first with possible outcomes, and what they hope the outcome of the research will be such as what they want to find a cure for. All of this has to be presented before a board of medical researchers before they are allowed to begin any testing. This board is the one that decides if the research is feasible and worth the time and money needed to research this. If the board determines that this is a good research project then they will grant a patent for the continuation of the research. Approval of a patent is not always granted and this is what leads many doctors and researchers to go outside their country for permission to research their project.

Because of the type of research this particular doctor wants to do for her to take the research overseas could be construed as both a deviant act and violation of the law. This would be a deviant act because the doctor is threatening to go against the board's decision and do whatever she wants. She could be in violation of the law by taking her research outside of the United States. The reason why this might be a violation of the law is the type of research she is conducting. This type of research could not only help patients live longer but could also be used as a weapon by creating a new type of soldier or criminal. If the government thinks that by the doctor going overseas with her research this could get into the wrong hands and be a threat to the United States then her leaving could be classified as a terrorist threat. She could be stopped from leaving the country and if she did manage to leave could be determined a terrorist and put on the list to be found and brought back to the United States for punishment. In the very least she could lose her license to practice here in the United States.

Is the doctor's research an abuse of technology? First of all to be able to answer this question, we need to be able to view this from both angles. The doctor's goal is to improve these organisms for use in human growth and transplant. However, it can also go the opposite direction and create harmful organisms that could harm someone and not help. If the doctor's research can help a person's life, or save another life on earth then it can never be an abuse of technology. Sometimes research can be used in a harmful way instead of the original way it was designed to. If the doctor uses her research only for the intended purposes then it would not in our estimate be an abuse of technology. However, if the doctor does not use her research in the intended way or allows someone else to alter it, then it could be construed as an abuse of technology.

Our determination is that the doctor's research was not an abuse of technology instead it was extra help to save someone's life. Like Albert Einstein stated, "You can never solve a problem on the level which it was created." Meaning, doctor needs to take extra couple of steps to save an innocent person somehow.

In this case we would say yes there are victims. There is no way of doing this experiment without using humans even if humans are only used at the end of the research. Once all of the components have been formed together and looked at under the microscope, the organism will then be tried on some type of rodent and or animal. A computer can do diagram of a human but until the actual organism is put in a real life subject, the outcome will be different. After the organism has been entered into the subject then the subject would have to be watched to find out all of the reactions it has over time. While been watched anything can happen as far as dying fast, actually curing and aging fast. There are side effects to everything that enters into a living species.

If there was no human and or victims in the experimenting then there would not be any cures for any type of diseases such as cancer or Aids. This is how the doctors can tell what would be a good match for us humans. In order for that to happen, the component has to be injected and or inserted
