the corridor. Thank you. I’m sorry there aren’t enough seats for everyone. I’m afraid some of you will just have to make your notes leaning on a book or something. There are a few clipboards at the back of the room there if anyone wants one. Anyway, I’m not going to say a huge amount and you won’t need to make copious notes. The idea is that the brief outline I give you now will help you decide what you want to find out more about for yourselves. I’ve got a few images to show you on PowerPoint too, so make sure you can see the screen.

Right, I’m going to talk about transplants. I’m going to give you an overview, hopefully whet your appetite, and motivate you to go away and find more information. I want you to choose one of the transplants I talk about and do some detailed research. That means that when we then go into each transplant type in more depth over the next week or so, each of you feels that you’re experts on at least one particular area of the topic. Clear? OK, so – what is a transplant? No, I don’t want you to shout out. I’ll tell you. A transplant – at least in medical terms – is the moving of an organ from one body to another for the purpose of replacing a damaged or absent organ. So, how long have doctors been able to perform transplants? The answer is ‘not very long’, especially if we’re talking about transplants of the major organs that we associate with this type of surgery. Of course, there are numerous accounts of transplants taking place long ago, but these were not successful and in many cases were simply notions. The Chinese physician Pien Chi’ao, for example, is reported to have exchanged the heart of a man of strong spirit but weak will, with the heart of a man of weak spirit but strong will in an attempt to achieve balance in each man! I think we can safely say that the physical operation never actually took place.

B Listen to the first part of the talk and complete the table. Voice: The first properly successful transplant was actually carried out in a small town in Czechoslovakia, now actually in the Czech Republic, in 1905. This was a corneal transplant, a surgical procedure where the damaged cornea is replaced by donated corneal tissue. Look at the screen here and you can see some images of eyes that have been operated on in this way. OK, let’s move along. Now, it was a while – just over 50 years in fact – before the next major breakthrough occurred. In 1954, in Boston, in the United States, a successful kidney transplant was undertaken. The donor and recipient were identical twins and this minimized complications. Previously, a kidney transplant had been concluded in Illinois, but the recipient’s body rejected the organ ten months later.
