Xenotransplantation (cross-species transplantation) may prolong life but may also harm the xeno-recipient and the public due to its potential to transmit infectious diseases. These trans-boundary diseases emphasise the global nature of advances in health care and highlight the difficulties of identifying, monitoring and regulating such risks and thereby protecting individual and public health. Xenotransplantation raises questions about how uncertainty and risk are understood and accepted, and exposes tensions between private benefit and public health. Where public health is at risk, a precautionary approach informed by the harm principle supports prioritising the latter, but the issues raised by genetically engineered solid organ xenotransplants have not, as yet, been sufficiently discussed. This must occur prior to their clinical introduction because of the necessary changes to accepted norms which are needed to appropriately safeguard individual and public health.Cambridge law, medicine, and ethics ;14.Xenotransplantation & RiskXenograftsTransplantation immunologyXenograftsMoral and ethical aspectsTransplantation of organs, tissues, etcXenografts.Transplantation immunology.XenograftsMoral and ethical aspects.Transplantation of organs, tissues, etc.344.04/194LAW093000bisacshFovargue Sara1971-1052865UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910810579703321Xenotransplantation and risk3981398UNINA
