Article Evaluation Ethics of BioPrinting

1) Yes, everything in the article is relevant, I was distracted by a few bias points in the article that I think could be improved.

2) This article appeared to be neutral at first, but has opinions like “ focuses on individual care rather than developing a universal treatment plan for all patients.” Claims made by the author seem heavily biased and a bit off, author seems to lack the references necessary for this topic.

3) The article as a whole seems underdeveloped. The “subsections” of the article are all lacking information and seem to be filled particularly with information that is biased. The safety section for example is missing some information, also the equal access seems to be missing information.

4) After checking the references, there are only two, both links worked and led to articles that related to the topic and supported the claims.

5) There facts are not backed by references, appears to be more opinionated. The information seems to be the authors own view points instead of reliable information.

6) This articles talk section doesn’t contain any information.

7) This article isn’t rated and isn’t part of any Wikiproject.

8) This topic seems underdeveloped and contains unreliable information instead of factual evidence. While having references shown we don’t see a lot of referencing going on, the opinions seem not credible and heavily biased. It lacks the information to relay the message in a way that allows the reader to feel engaged and the author while seeming knowledgeable has not shown the knowledge properly through referencing and using citations as they should have. It overall seems like it doesn’t follow what we have discussed in class.

Week 5 - Choose Your Topic
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ethics_of_Bioprinting&action=edit

Introduction-
In this section I plan on adding more information about the background of 3D bio printing, what it is and what ethics are. Then i would like to add information i found from articles during my research to help make the introduction stronger and have it provide more detail about what this topic is. Where it seems to lack information I believe it could have more information to strengthen the topic.

Equal Access to Treatment-
This section only specifically talks about Prosthetics and Orthopedics, however i believe that adding more information about different parts of the body will help add some new evidence and some more paraphrasing from different articles that could better the article with the little information it contains.

Safety-
This section lacks citations or any references to the source and seems more opinion based. Here I would like to add information from the sources i found about the ethical challenges with safety, allowing this section to be less bias and more factual.

Week 5- Finalizing Your Article
Using the article, I would like to add some detail about what bio printing is to give some background into the topic before talking about the ethics, I believe it could be beneficial to the development of the page. I also would like to add more information to the subcategories, this article contains three, safety, equal access to treatment, safety, and human enhancement. I would like to make more specific edits to safety, talking about traditional transplants and their safety, and then going into the safety that is seen in Bio printing so that the readers can understand the traditional issues, on top of the new issues that technology may have created. The equal treatment section only contains information about two of Processes Bio printing helps, prosthetics and orthopedic surgery, However, I think more information about the ethics of printing organs will help supply more background into the equal access and the process of how exactly one gains access to these things that are bio printed.

Bibliography-
These sources will provide information into How to help make changes to the article Ethics of Bioprinting.

Bioprinting by Christopher Barnatt

http://www.explainingthefuture.com/bioprinting.html

I will be using this article to explain the idea of what bioprinting is to help readers essentially get a feel for it before they begin to read about the ethics behind it. I would like to touch on the parts of this article specifically the section Bioprinting Engineers to discuss the work of those who have made bioprinting a popular thing and how. To give more background on what it essentially is and what it means to bioprint.

Researchers Can Now 3D Print a Human Heart Using Biological Material by Robin Andrews

www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/human-heart-can-now-be-3d-printed-using-biological-material/

From this article, I plan on adding information about the materials that are used to make these 3D printed organs and add it to safety, so that information about what each part is made out of can benefit the reader, so they get a feel for how the safety actually works. Information from this article states, That they use soft gel to help form the different parts and how the gel melts away, but it could have potential dangers on the body that I feel could be included.

FDA Regulation on 3d printed organs and associated ethical Challenges by Elizabeth Kelly

http://eds.b.ebscohost.com.unh-proxy01.newhaven.edu:2048/eds/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?vid=3&sid=f6e53bc2-743a-48c7-89da-3f60fb87c9f8%40sessionmgr120

I would like to use this article to add information overall, to the introduction piece and to the different categories on the challenges that arise from bioprinting, specifically bioprinting organs. I would like to add pieces about how the FDA forbids the sale of organs or any part of the body, stating it is a crime. Id also like to add some background on The history and the Market for 3D printed organs that comes from this article.

Introduction-
3D printing was invented by Charles Hull in the mid 1980s. 3D printing is a process in additive manufacturing which uses a digital design to produce a physical copy. This process is carried out by a specific printer, which uses several layers in order to complete the design. However, Bioprinting uses the ways of 3D printing to create things such as organs, tissues, cells, blood vessels, prosthetics and a broad range of other things that can be used in the medical field. The "Pioneers" of bioprinting include, Organovo, Tissue Engineering and Regenerative medicine Lab at Columbia University, Makoto Nakamura, to name a few. These pioneers have all helped to shape Bioprinting into what it is. The ethics of bioprinting have been a topic of discussion as long as bioprinting has been popular. Ethics are moral principles that govern production, behavior, etc. The Ethics of Bioprinting include, but are not limited to, Equal Access to Treatment, Safety, Human Enhancement, and Legality.

Equal Access to Treatment-
Also the printing of human organs, and tissues, are available with decreased time, only taking a few weeks to produce instead of a regular transplant. Currently in the United states the Transplant list is 115,000 people are awaiting a transplant, which can take nearly two years to obtain, while nearly 2 million people have lost a limb. Bioprinting being that it is about individual care, will be able to take care of these patients organs and prosthetics a faster pace then previously, also giving patients full access.

Legality- (New Section)
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has been working through the regulation of bioprinting.
