You Be the Judge Project 

Picture
Organ Recipient - Who Deserves to Have the Organ?

You and two other classmates will complete the following steps to determine a very serious situation.  You will use Informed Decision Making  to come up with a solution to the problem presented. This is a very real problem, that coincides with the idea of Technology presented in the novel Frankenstein.  You will educate yourself on the topic by reading articles, watching a video and learning about patient cases.

Step #1: Watch the YouTube Video Presented in Mrs. McIntyre's Class on "How Organ Recipients Are Chosen" or if you are able, view it below the instructions here.

Step #2: After viewing the video, please read the file regarding the American Medical Associations Code of Ethics.  This will give you a better understanding of how the American Medical Association makes organ recipient determinations.

Step 3: You will now need to read about the Patient Case Studies . This will tell you about the patients that are in need of organ transplants and tell you more about their specific backgrounds.

Step 4: After watching the video, and reading the 2 articles, it is now time to state your case  as to who should be the recipient of the organ.  With your group, you will be asked to write up a proposal and create a poster using the following steps:

a. You will use a poster board sized paper to complete this activity
b. On the board, you will start with the recipients name at the top as the heading
c. Below it, you divide the board into 3 sections, "negatives", "positives", "final decision reasoning"
d. In the "Negatives" Column, you will fill out all of the negatives to the patient
e. In the "Positives" Column, you will list of the reasons why the candidate seems worthy of the donation (use what you learned from your studies earlier to help justify your reasoning)
f. In the "Final Decision Reasoning" Column, you will list why, despite the negatives in the situation, you feel that your candidate is more worthy than the other 3 candidates.  So you will have to briefly discuss the 3 other patients to clarify this.

This should be:
  • Neat
  • Use Color
  • Have supportive evidence to justify your choice
  • Use research from earlier video/articles 
  • Proper spelling/punctuation/grammar
  • Proper poster formatting


Step 5: You will be doing a presentation and will be graded using a rubric. Work with your group to practice how you will present your findings.  Each member of the group should have a speaking part that is more involved than stating the patients name (Your best bet is to have each member present one category of your poster).  You will present your posters to the class and the teacher.  You will be graded on the poster and the presentation.  Tips to remember for a presentation:

  • Look at the audience when you are speaking
  • Do not read directly from the poster (use note cards for a quick reference if needed)
  • Speak with a loud, clear voice
  • Do not use "umm" or "like" - that is not how a professional speaks
