>patients have received pig heart valves so what....? i dont care. This is religiously discriminating (jews muslims excluded). Considering that the majority of medical doctors are of jewish and palestinian origin, one must wonder who developed this method?

I've broken the article into sections. I've left the {{wikify}} there since I feel that the first part should be broken up a little(I was unable to figure out a good way to break it up). A picture would be nice as well. BioTube 04:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
This entry desperately needs more facts, citations, and more neutral and informative external links and needs caveats to that effect until such a time as it is rectified.
I am primarily interested in human to animal xenografts. In cancer research, for example, it is common to grow human tumour cells in rodents. There is nothing on this on the article, and I would be willing to bet that this type of xenograft is far more common by any measure (numbers, volume of transplanted tissue) than animal to human xenografts.

- Religious issues must be solved before xenotransplantation can become a regular operation. -
Who saids that? For example, contraceptives are recommended and contraceptives policies are enforced, yet the religious issues are definitively not resolved.

A lot of money has been made by quacks performing xenotransplants which supposedly could restore physical stamina and intellectual vigour. Several well documented cases are already documented in wikipedia. John R. Brinkley is one of the most notorious. GregInCanada 23:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Should this article mention a sci-fi horror book called "Ancestor," or is it not worth the effort? I only bring this up because the process of xenotransplantation is heavily featured in the plot. -- 64.131.47.218 18:25, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
> The tissue is harvested from agricultural animals that were already being butchered, which is less offensive to most people than the idea of raising a primate solely as an organ donor.
Wouldn't extraction of organs of animals at slaughterhouses, be somewhat un-hygienic? How about preservation of the organs? Delivery to patience? In addition, without genetic modification, said tissue would most likely be rejected, wouldn't it?
And if they WERE genetically modified, I don't think all that effort would be sent into common meat farm cows...wouldn't they be special created cows made 'solely as an organ donor'? FUCK
Isn't this why we need to further stem cell research in the first place? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.128.232.227 ( talk) 07:33, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

In its present form this article makes a very bad usage of the term genetic code. The genetic codes of humans, monkeys, rats and many other very distantly related living organisms are all absolutely identical. What the well intentioned editors wanted to mean instead of genetic code was probably genome. Please correct if I am right, and please explain if I am wrong. -- Sophos II ( talk) 23:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC) nick makay is the cutest man to walk this earth.
I found this article very enriching, but I wish there were more examples in it. 192.114.175.2 ( talk) 13:44, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
As discussed in Talk:Organ xenotransplantation, that article doesn't contain enough information specifically to organ xenotransplantation to justify more than being a subsection of this article. Rather, almost everything there is rather about xenotransplantation generally, and would thus be of more use in this article. Mikael Häggström ( talk) 08:02, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
I've made the merge now, but I'm not sure all the references came through, since I had to convert them from (name, year)-format to wiki style. The complete reference list is found below. Mikael Häggström ( talk) 13:36, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

The story of Dr. Serge Voronoff (circa 1910-1930) for instance. [1] Kortoso ( talk) 19:36, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
In the early 1960s, Keith Reemtsma kind of had some success transplanting chimp kidneys into end-stage kidney failure humans. For example, one person lived nine months(!). Now, this was before long-term dialysis. So, in a sense, offering someone a long shot was better than nothing at all. FriendlyRiverOtter ( talk) 21:11, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

" . . Attempts to use cadaveric kidneys were inadequate. We were reluctant to press the use of volunteer humans for ethical, scientific, and legal reasons. Chronic dialysis was not available. . "
" . . In practice, all patients were terminal uremics, maintained on dialysis, who were presented with the following alternatives: (1) supportive treatment only, (2) an allograft from a relative, (3) a cadaveric allograft if available, or (4) a heterograft (xenograft). . "
" . . Between November 5, 1963, and February 10, 1964, six patients received renal heterotransplants from chimpanzees. . "

I've removed what I think is a farfetched assertion that "The prohibition of the consumption of pig does pose problems in Jewish and Islamic communities." I don't think the transplantation of living cells, tissues or organs would be viewed as "consumption" by "Jewish and Islamic communities". Exceptions may exist but if so an appropriate source should make clear what is covered and what is not, because obviously all "Jewish and Islamic communities" would not equate such transplantation with "consumption", as in the "ingestion of food for nutritional purposes". A more nuanced assertion is called for in accordance with the findings of a reliable source, or we should just leave what I think is a marginally absurd comment out of our article.

I'm adding some thoughts from Catherine Remy's journal article "The Animal Issue in Xenotransplantation: Controversies in France and the United States" which discusses some of the history of how the science has developed in perception and practice. I hope to add more in the coming weeks about the history of ethical concerns in this issue leading up to present-day issues. Palpatitus ( talk) 17:19, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

As promised, I'm adding in some more things about ethics in xenotransplantation after expanding my view on the role of religion and animal rights. I've also added a mention about the perceived fact that genetically modified pigs are the future of xenotransplantation. Palpatitus ( talk) 13:58, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
I will be slowly adding in a few details from what I have written about the morals and ethics of xenotransplantation. After doing a bit more research I will try to go more in-depth about the morals and ethics about xenotransplantation. Khyhvc ( talk) 17:58, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
