Originally published in 2005. One of the leading causes of death is
organ failure, that is, when one or other of the organs that run
the machine we call the body gives out. However, whereas with a
machine spare parts can usually replace faulty parts, in the case
of humans the supply of these is limited as it is dependent on
organs being obtained from living or dead donors. Due to the
limitations of supply, increasing attention is being paid to
alternative schemes for obtaining organs. One of these
possibilities is xenotransplantation: using organs from animals. In
this book, the authors examine the legal and ethical issues
surrounding xenotransplantation and consider the implications for
the future. As they point out, xenotransplantation represents a
major deviation from standard medical practice and the possibility
of transplantation of large segments of tissue, or whole organs,
from animals into humans poses an entirely novel set of
considerations - ethical, legal and scientific - which it is
necessary to evaluate and understand.
