Abstract

Definition of the problem: The transplantation of animal tissue and organs (xenotransplantation) is touted as one of the future options for transplantation medicine. This technology implies many unsolved practical and ethical problems. Arguments and conclusion: The article discusses the medico-ethical problems faced by patients, physicians, and the public in clinical trials. The problems involved in weighing chances and risks are classified and discussed. Additionally, parallels between the debate on handling HIV in the 1980 s and xenozoonoses today point to possible scenarios for future debate
