Xenotransplantation and Its Dangerous Affects

Medical procedures for xenotransplantation (transplanting animal organs into the human body) have been underway for many years and this medical practice has a mixed perspective on mixed results and surgery. In 1984, a woman's baby named Baby Fae by medical staff was known all over the world for the medical treatment they endured. Infant Fay has a potentially fatal heart problem, she left atrial fibrillation, a fatal disease if not treated surgically (Time Magazine, 1984).

Xenotransplantation is the process of transplanting or injecting living cells, tissues or organs from an animal into a human patient. Xenografts have been proposed to reduce the waiting time for transplanting organs to recipients who are unable to receive human organs because they were excluded from the transplant list or to wait for a person to receive an organ There.

A relatively new transplant sector revived this argument. Transplantation of xenografts or organs of animals (usually pigs) to the human body is expected to create many unique ethical issues while eliminating many ethical issues. Although xenotransplantation is expected to greatly increase the supply of organs, the threat of organ transplant rejection and the risk of heterologous seed disease combined with the general curse of the thought diminish the function of the technology. Several animal rights groups oppose sacrificial animals for organ donation and are implementing a campaign to ban them

Human xenografts provide potential cure for end-organ dysfunction, major health problems in some industrialized countries. It also poses many new medical, legal and ethical issues. A constant concern is that many animals, such as pigs, have a shorter life span than humans, which means their organization ages at a faster rate. Permanent changes in disease transmission (foreign body disease) and animal's genetic code are also gaining attention. Several cases of transiently successful xenotransplantation have been published
