It would be nice to have genetics research advance to the point where we're able to grow our own organ replacements. Elsewhere in the comments people have suggested donating to cancer research. An alternative I would humbly suggest is donating to organizations that participate in stem cell or other genetic research.
If conquering cancer is a while off, replacing someone's cancerous organs with healthy new organs that exactly match their own DNA is a good way to save more people as cancer research is ongoing. It also has myriad benefits beyond just cancer such as helping amputees, burn victims, and so on.
- Mz 16y agoI used to have a hole in my lung. The tissue regenerated. I'm a former homemaker and homeschooling mom. Currently a divorcee with an entry level job I can't get promoted out of. Stating that I have done this and therefore I know it can be done -- and it doesn't take fancy technology -- is met with incredulity, to say the least. Suffice it to say, I have strong feelings on the matter but it's probably best for me to try to leave the subject alone at the moment. Peace.
