Abstract:
Xenotransplantation is a potentially promising but exceedingly complex issue. It is critical that this subject be discussed within and outside the transplant community. The need for an expanded organ supply is urgent, but the scientific and ethical positions are complex. This article reviews the current status of xenotransplantation, including the potential benefits and risks; discusses multiple ethical issues; and makes recommendations for the transplant coordinator.
