THE BATTALION MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1977 Page 3 Scientist urges use of living’ dead United Press International LONDON — Dr. Willard Gaylin f Columbia University is a psy- liatrist who suggested some years go that it might be worth arguing ver the idea of whether bodies ith dead brains should be kept live by machine or drugs and used ir research. He said he knew many people /ould find abhorrent the thought hat bodies legally dead but still ca- iable of breathing and accepting utrition might become laboratory nimals, so to speak, but he consid- red that someone ought to point ut that it was possible to “harvest he dead. ” Recently the magazine. World ledicine, asked Gaylin to discuss ie matter in the light of the reac- on since 1974. He said the greatest ufprise had been the support for ie suggestion among theologians. One Jesuit is doing a thesis argu- ng that the concept of the neomort” — Gaylin’s word for the ally but not physiologically dead was not in conflict with canon Gaylin, who is also president of le Institute of Society, Ethics and ife Sciences at Hastings-on- bdson, New York, stressed that is original article attempted to ex- lain, not to advocate the possibili- He recognizes the deep emo- mal objections to the idea even if is speculative. But modern ab dominal surgery would probably have evoked similar antagonism in earlier societies. World Medicine said: “The proponents of the exploita tion of neomorts stress the unques tionable benefits; the reduction of suffering in the living and the prom ise of cures for leukemia and other diseases.

The meal is served by brightly costumed waiters and waitresses who select their own period wear. anticipate in ways yet unknown and times not yet determined.” Gaylin said the idea came to him while he was on his way to give a blood transfusion and he wrote about it because he could find noth ing on the subject in the litera ture. His article was semi-satirical but the discussion that followed was very serious. Said World Medicine: “One pathologist suggested, for instance, that if his unit could use legally dead but physiologically alive subjects in its research, he was con vinced that within two years they could find a cure — in the sense that insulin is a ‘cure’ for diabetes — for certain childhood leukemias.” Gaylin originally suggested that doctors could practice embarassing examinations on neomorts, drugs could be tested on them and they might provide body parts when needed. He used the term “harvest ing” to mean also drawing off blood, bone marrow and hormones and other chemicals produced by the body. Embrey’s Jewelry We Specialize In Aggie Rings.
