The alleged chronic shortage of human organs has led some researchers
and federal health officials in the US and elsewhere to consider using
organs from animals such as pigs and nonhuman primates. Xenotransplantation,
attempted since 1905, is marred by a history of failures and intense
human and animal suffering. But the prospect of commercializing the
technology has created huge financial incentives for biotechnology and
pharmaceutical companies who have invested hundreds of millions of dollars
in xenotransplantation. The desire to gain a return on such large investments
has led many companies to make exaggerated claims about the alleged
merits of the technology. CRT believes that these claims are baseless
and that, in fact, the technology is dangerous, expensive, inhumane,
and unnecessary, and should therefore be banned.
