Abstract

Xenotransplantation has a few serious bioethical issues although it is considered as a promising treatment modality for patients in diverse conditions. Described here are the current research activities in xenotransplantation conducted in the world. In addition, its bioethical and legal implications for clinical trial and clinical implication are briefly reviewed. Some representative guidelines from the International Xenotransplantation Association (IXA) and World Health Organization (WHO) are also provided.
