Abstract:
There are some widely discussed issues on xenotransplatation, such as animals'moral rights, allocation of medical resources and endangering public health,etc. The article raises four critical ethical issues, e.g. harm-benefit thresholds, informed consent from research patients, informed consent from third-party groups and oversight and approval of clinical trials as the prerequisites to initiation of clinical trials of xenotransplatation.
