Animal organs could save patients needing transplants, but further research is necessary to resolve remaining problems with organ rejection. Furthermore, xenotransplantation risks transmitting animal pathogens to patients and to the general population. It would be unethical to proceed with clinical trials before principles and procedures for dealing with this risk are in place.
动物器官可以挽救需要移植的患者,但要解决器官排斥方面仍然存在的问题,还需要进一步研究。此外,异种移植有将动物病原体传播给患者和普通人群的风险。在处理这种风险的原则和程序到位之前进行临床试验是不道德的。
