Xenotransplantation is one alternative to transplantation of human organs which has been investigated. It is generally accepted that the pig represents the most logical choice of animals to serve as organ donors for xenotransplantation. Moreover, the implementation of cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) and transgenic techniques have resulted in the production of numerous transgenic pigs than can be used for xenotransplantation purposes as well as models for human diseases.
异种移植是已被研究的人类器官移植的一种替代方法。人们普遍认为，猪是作为异种移植器官供体的最合理动物选择。此外，体细胞核移植（SCNT）和转基因技术的应用已培育出大量可用于异种移植及人类疾病模型的转基因猪。
