This title was first published in 2003. Xenotransplantation - the
transplantation of animal organs into humans - poses a fascinating
moral dilemma. Should this ability to extend the lives of millions
of older people be permitted given that it might trigger a new
pandemic similar to AIDS? This study examines the moral dilemma
from a combination of humanistic, legalistic, bioethical,
economical and technological perspectives. The first part of the
book demonstrates that xenografts are the only realistic near-term
technological answer to the organ shortage problem. The balance of
the book is devoted to assessing whether doctrines such as the
'right to health care' trump the moral and ethical conundrums posed
by xenotransplantation. The book concludes with a 'geoethical'
solution that proposes authorization of xenotransplantation subject
to the prior implementation of a new international organization for
epidemiology and basic health care. It also suggests that the costs
of operating such an organization could be covered by a global tax
on xenografts.
