Xenotransplantation: Ethical Dilemmas and the Future of Organ Transplants | Ethics 101 

As global demand for organ transplants rises, xenotransplantation offers innovative solutions but also brings complex ethical dilemmas. In this episode, we explore xenotransplantation and examine its ethical challenges.
Ethical Issues:
Animal Rights: Is it moral to kill animals, like transgenic pigs, for human benefit?
Genetic Modification: Does altering animals violate their inherent value and dignity?
We also consider the identity and autonomy issues for recipients of animal organs and public health risks from zoonosis.
Join us to navigate these ethical landscapes and discuss the future of organ transplantation. Like, share, and subscribe for more insights!
