There are critical shortages in donor organs available for transplantation in the United States, with some racial and ethnic groups facing disparities in access. Xenotransplantation is currently an experimental approach, but has the promise of significantly increasing organ supply. Here, we discuss inequities in access to transplantation and the potential role of xenotransplantation in alleviating these inequities.
