The Headlines: Scientists Are Developing Brainless Human Bodies for Organ Transplants and Medical Testing Hooters Is Trying to Go Family-Friendly in a $300 Million Rebrand A Pregnant Woman Pulled Off Two Bank Heists—And Tricked Her Husband Into Being the Getaway Driver Scientists Are Working on "Brainless Bodies" for Organ Transplants In what sounds like a sci-fi plot, researchers are exploring the creation of bodyoids—human bodies grown in artificial wombs without brains or consciousness. The goal? To create a sustainable source of organs for transplants and a new way to test medications without using live humans or animals. While the concept raises serious ethical concerns, supporters argue that it could eliminate long transplant waitlists and revolutionize medicine by offering non-sentient test subjects. Scientists are proposing small-scale tests on animals first to see if the process is viable.Source Hooters’ $300 Million Makeover: Less “Hoot,” More Family-Friendly Hooters is in serious financial trouble, with around $300 million in debt and 40 locations shutting down last year. Their latest survival strategy? A family-friendly makeover they're calling "Re-Hooterization"—but some might call it "De-Hooterization." The plan includes: A stronger push toward a family dining atmosphere (yes, Hooters has a kids' menu). A menu overhaul with fresher ingredients. A shift away from the “Hooters Girls” image that made them famous. Will this work, or will it alienate the brand's core audience? Time will tell.Source Pregnant Woman Pulls Two Bank Heists, Tricks Husband Into Being the Getaway Driver In one of the wildest crime stories of the year, a woman in Poland robbed two banks while eight months pregnant—and convinced her husband to unknowingly be her getaway driver. Anna A., 37, got hooked on gangster movies during her pregnancy and decided to live out the fantasy. She told her husband she had a baby doctor appointment, then went inside the banks and pulled off armed heists. She was eventually caught, gave birth in prison, and just lost her appeal. Hollywood, take notes.Source Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

Every year, thousands of people are added to organ transplant waiting lists, but not all patients have equal access to the life-saving procedures they desperately need. As transplant programs around the world continue to expand and improve, it's important for healthcare providers to consider potential disparities in care, all while working hard to create an even playing field for patients. Socioeconomic status, geography, wait times and access are just a few of the factors to keep in mind. Children's Hospital Colorado is one of the top transplant programs for kids, with some of the best outcomes in the nation. In this episode, we welcome specialists from our heart, kidney and liver transplant programs. Pediatric cardiologist Melanie Everitt, MD, is the Director of Pediatric Heart Transplant. Margret Bock, MD, is the Medical Director of Kidney Transplant and specializes in pediatric nephrology. Amy Feldman, MD, is the Program Director of the Liver Transplant Fellowship, the Medical Director for the Liver Transplant Center, and she specializes in pediatric gastroenterology. All three of our experts also teach at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include:  The current landscape of solid organ transplant in the United States and how the waitlists work  Why some children have better access to these life-saving treatments than others  How primary care providers can identify potential barriers ensure their patients have the best chance at receiving a transplant  The evolution of live-donor liver transplant and how it's changing opportunities in pediatrics   For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Send us a textJehovah's Witnesses proudly claim to have "the truth," but what happens when their teachings are put to the test? We take a clean glass of water and introduce a surprising visual experiment that will leave you questioning everything. What do the doctrines of 1914, Blood Transfusions, and Organ Transplants have in common? Why do these teachings matter so much when evaluating the Watchtower's claim to truth? Watch as we reveal how just a few drops can change everything. By the end, you'll have to ask yourself: Would you drink from this glass?

Japan has approved experiments to create human-animal embryos, also known as chimeras. The goal of these experiments is to grow human organs inside animals for transplant into humans. Human stem cells are injected into an animal embryo that lacks a specific organThe embryo is implanted into a surrogate animal for gestationThe resulting animal has organs made of human cellsHiromitsu Nakauchi is a stem-cell scientist at the University of Tokyo and Stanford University who leads the research.  This research could revolutionize organ transplants, which are in high demand due to a shortage of donor organs. Some worry that human cells could affect the animal's brain development, potentially creating beings with advanced cognitive abilitiesOthers argue that these experiments defy the natural order and challenge moral and religious beliefs

On so many issues, Congress has not been willing or able to act. But when faced with horrifying stories of death and mismanagement, Congress finally passed legislation to reform the US organ transplant system. They did so because people like Donna Cryer, a transplant recipient and patient advocate, demanded a better system for Americans who need lifesaving organ transplants. Now, as the new law moves into implementation, the work continues. In this episode, Donna and I discuss:The new legislation that is breaking up the deadly organ transplant monopolyHow ignoring the expertise and insights of patients dooms us to slow progress making healthcare safer and better Her advice for young people: “take your shot”Donna says we all need to start listening more closely to patients with lived experience:“I often think if you... had many people with great deals of experience and intelligence who were highly motivated to help you achieve your goal. Why would you not want to use them? Why would you not want to partner with them? Why would you work really, really hard to keep them away from solving the problem? And that's how people treat patients and patient advocates.”Relevant LinksDonna Cryer's testimony to the Senate Finance Committee on organ transplant system failures (just past the 48:00 mark)Summary of the new law to break up the organ transplantation monopolyMore about the Global Liver InstituteSee more details about the Advanced Advocacy Academy Donna's organization launchedVisit UNOS' websiteAbout Our GuestDonna R.

In May of 2021, while preparing for the state track and field competition, he went into cardiac arrest. Doctors told Mario and his family that he needed to have a heart transplant. Mario received a heart transplant at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati on July 26, 2021. Mario talks about how his Faith helped him get through his Health Crisis. Kesia Jarrett, Mario's mom, shares her gratitude for the donor's family, health providers, pastoral family, and all the family and friends who were there for her family.

Kesia shares her family's motto to Live life and remember to help others in any way you can. Andi encourages Mario and Kesia to continue to share their story because it will help many understand the need for Organ Transplants.    3 Key Points: Even young athletes can experience health conditions, that require the need for an Organ Transplant. Remember self-care if you are a caregiver for someone going through a health issue.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I stumbled upon this wild story around 3am the other day. It's about Claire Sylvia, who faced serious heart issues and underwent a successful heart transplant. However, upon waking up, she suddenly craved beer and Chicken McNugget, things she had never really enjoyed. It turned out her donor, upon investigation, had a deep love for both. The more Claire learned about him, the more she realized she had adopted aspects of his personality. It got me thinking—does this phenomenon occur with every organ transplant? And now they're talking about using pig hearts—will we all start behaving like pigs next? So many questions! I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
