[Ethical Problems of Cross-Species Transplantation from Animals to Humans]
The success of transplantation and the increasing demand for donor organs have led to an increasingly acute shortage of human organs and tissue for transplantation. In this situation xeno-transplantation is discussed as a possible alternative to allo-transplantation. Cross-species transplantation however involves certains risks and ethical problems, some of which are thematized in this abstract.
