It is potentially a useful technology to develop new lines of pigs for xenotransplantation. |
There are also fears that the process of xenotransplantation may transmit dangerous viruses to humans. |
Research on porcine cells, tissues, and organs in xenotransplantation should continue if certain conditions are met. |
The second factor which supports xenotransplantation is that these animal organs may be less susceptible to certain human infections. |
This series of profoundly unsuccessful experiments has not enhanced the credibility of xenotransplantation as a viable medical treatment. |
Areas might include stem cell research, biobanks, xenotransplantation, genetic testing and use of animals in research. |
