Animal rights- killing pigs for organs

# data[].attributes.body
Animal born specifically for breeding for organs

I think that it would be good, while there are still some hurdles to pass to make the kidney last longterm. If your able to get over the technological hurdle and the ability to accept getting a pig kidney i belive it would be a good thing for the future.

I guess I’m thinking about how long would people be able to live if they did seek xenotransplantation. Like is it even worth it to go through the process of breeding pigs if people don’t actually live much longer?

# data[].attributes.body
i think this raises similar ethical concerns to the animal testing. is it fair to raise pigs for human betterment?

# data[].attributes.body
how ethical is the raising and obtaining of the organs?

is there a disparity in function for non-human organs?

are there long term negative effects?

what are the rejection rates? compared to human transplants?

# data[].attributes.body
Xenotransplantation is a sensational alternative to human organ donation. I am concerned with the treatment of the animals in question. I’m afraid that they are just mass producing animals then killing them when they take what they need from them. I know that is their purpose, but it’s kind of ethically concerning. There is a great need for it, though, so maybe they can improve their tactics!

Could this develop a human vs non human organ hierarchy which could impact socioeconomic inequalities?

How intense is the patient monitoring for life?

What is the likelihood of contaminant/infections? I’m also concerned with the risk of zoonic infections becoming a widespread public health issue.

Does the genetic editing harm the pigs? What are the ethical implications of using pigs for humans? I think is a similar issue to the animal testing discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
The people who are getting this are at risk for zootonic disease-this can be a huge concern.

Incorporating a non-human body into your human body

# data[].attributes.body
is it spiritually different incorporating a non-human animal organ/material than a metal/porcelain/inorganic material?
