Do you agree with the quote by David Korn
“I think people are morally obligated to allow their bits and pieces to be used to advance knowledge to help others. Since everybody benefits, everybody can accept the small risks of having their tissue scraps used in research.”
Why or why not

Support your opinoin with at least THREE examples from the book THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS by REBEBBKA SKLOOT and at least THREE scientic FACTS or Concepts
Tissue Scraps

Tissue Scraps
I do not agree with David Korn’s quote that states that people should allow their bit and pieces to be used in advancing knowledge towards helping others. He holds that everyone benefit and, as a result, should be ready to accept the risks involved in removing some tissue scraps for research. The act cannot be a moral obligation as he claims; there are very many safer and just ways of conducting research rather than tissue scraps (Skloot, 2010). Besides, tissue scrap poses so many health dangers to those who have their tissues removed. Those who have their tissues removed might for a long time have their body fail to operate normally. For example, scraping of the neuron tissues might lead to the dysfunctional neural system if the process is not successful (Murray & Wynn, 2011). Usually, the surgeons might interfere with the natural arrangement of such tissues leading to a lack of proper coordination.
Tissues’ scrapping is immoral since the doctors have the chances of using it for commercial purposes. It is possible for the medics to lure people into selling their body parts without knowing the risks involved (Que, Liu, Jia, & Liu, 2011). Moreover, it is unethical for one to remove part of the body without consent (Skloot, 2010). I think, it can only be necessary if it was to aid medical treatment such as the donation of organs. The process might further encourage cloning of human beings which is another unethical activity that has recently gained popularity.
The risk of contracting diseases is also high in such a practice. The medics might at times use contaminated equipment that end up infecting the parts in proximity to the scrapped areas. For example, it is possible to pass bacteria to the inner parts of the body that might be difficult to treat thereof; thereby adding problems to the human well-being (Tamparo & Lewis, 2011). The process might also weaken the body to an extent that it fails to conduct some of its functions. For example, removal of body fats for research might end up decreasing the potential of the body to maintain its temperature. Additionally, scrapping of the muscles might lead to failure in the body parts such as the legs and the hands to move with ease (Que, Liu, Jia, & Liu, 2011). The case would happen in cases of bulk removal. It is also possible to have the scrapping done in bulk given the need for scientific research. Besides, the removed tissues might lose their life after a short while; thereby encouraging the practice.
Evidently, tissue scrap denies people the sense of ownership to their bodies. One might often feel robbed in the case where it is done without consent. It is possible to have it done without consent especially where one is forced to have some of the tissue removed for purposes of scientific study and discovery of human relationships through DNA test (Tamparo & Lewis, 2011). The experience that one is likely to undergo after accepting tissue scrap might be painful. Most people will suffer psychological torture especially when they offered their tissues for money (Que, Liu, Jia, & Liu, 2011). They will feel indifferent about the ethics of their act and, as a result, live without self-peace.
The process involves a surgical operation that might only be necessary if one was sick. Therefore, it takes a lot of resources for one might have to be treated or given diet supplements to facilitate the regeneration of such vital body parts. One would also feel sick after the removal of the parts following the operation process (Ahmad, Rabbani, Kanwar, Shinde, & Khan, 2015). The practice also puts one at the risk of having the body system weakened against some infections. The body might become vulnerable to different diseases that would eventually put one at poor health condition.
It is also against most religious beliefs to have one’s body parts removed for commercial purposes. For instance, the Christians believe that God created them in His likeness and removing any body part would be disobedience to their Creator. Therefore, the issue is an affair that should only be discussed in the case of critical health condition and for medical treatment and not scientific research (Ahmad, Rabbani, et al., 2015). Besides, there are alternative ways of conducting the study on tissues without necessarily removing them from the body. Additionally, one might consent to the idea but only allow the doctor to remove the tissues immediately after death since they can only decay after one passing on. Therefore, it is necessary for the medics to explore such avenue of obtaining the tissues for studies and not from those who are still living (Ahmad, Rabbani, et al., 2015). The claim that the human tissues are necessary for making some vaccines should also not be the basis for carrying out the tissue scrap. The doctors have the options of using the medicinal plants and even the body parts of selected animals to prepare the vaccines. In fact, such a move will not attract any criticism given that it is not subject to ethical dilemma (Barash, 2008) Moreover, such studies are also possible with the species with close relation to human beings such as the chimpanzees.
Overall, David Korn’s idea of tissue scrap should not apply as an ethical obligation. The procedure is not moral given the likelihood of abuse by both the medical doctors and the human specimens. The doctors might lure people into accepting such an operation by paying them. The process might also interfere with the normal functioning of the body since the body tissues are very vital to the physiological processes. One might also get injured in the process; thereby leading to induced ill health. Most religions also protest against such act since it is against the ethics of their creator. Besides, one lives with the guilt of having removed some body parts especially when it is done for commercial purposes. On the other hand, the doctors have various options to conducting their human scientific studies without removing the vital body parts. Also, it is invalid to say that the components of the human tissues are necessary for making vaccines. It is known that medicine can be practiced and vaccines obtained from other sources such as animal and plant parts. I think it might only be necessary to get the required tissues from those who consented to such removal upon their death. At that point, it is justifiable since the tissues will just decay even without being scraped from the body. Therefore, it is imperative to note that it is not a moral obligation for one to allow for the removal of the tissues.
