Soon after my grandmother died, my mom started getting sick. When she was born, she was born with a heart condition. Her heart had a “hole” in it and it was positioned wrong in her chest. In fact, it was said by doctors that because of her abnormal heart condition, she wouldn’t live past the age of six. She was also partially blind in her left eye, which restricted her from driving. As she got older and older, her heart grew weaker and weaker. At the age of 35 years old, she had a pacemaker surgically implanted in her chest. A pacemaker is a battery-powered case that assists the heart in beating. An incision is made and a pocket is formed in the area overlying the muscle on the outside of the chest wall.

With many causes of organ failure that led to a death sentence a long-term treatment needed to be found. In December 1954, the first organ was transplanted from living donor to living recipient, who was between twin siblings, was to be the next direction of treatment. With the invention of an immunosuppressant cyclosporine, the cure was thought to have been found for organ failure. It would have been the answer to the organ failure until the procurement laws were not able to keep up with the need for organs, which formed a list of patients called the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). The scientist and physicians went back to the drawing board to come up with bioengineered organs with the used of stem cell on matrices. Multiple biometrics are being used for the bioengineered organs. Introduction At a point in history, any type of organ failure was a death sentence. Many causes lead to an organ failure, whether it is from congenital causes, abuse, or illness it is an unfortunate circumstance. This was the case until December 23, 1954 when the first live organ transplant was performed in the United States, which was from a living donor to living recipient. The first transplant ever conducted was on an individual that needed a kidney, which was conducted using identical twins (Kaserman Ph.D, 2007). The new technology lead to a completely new list of trails in the organ transplantation field that would lead to a huge change in the future of medicine, and that of the individuals that need the lifesaving procedures. These trails became easier in 1983 with the invention of immunosuppressant called cyclosporine, which allow for cadaveric organ donation (Kaserman Ph.D, 2007). Unfortunately, the law for organ procurement could not kee...
