Creating human organs in chimaera pigs: an ethical source of immunocompatible organs?

David Shaw1, Wybo Dondorp2, Niels Geijsen3, Guido de Wert2.   

Abstract

New techniques in regenerative medicine may soon enable the creation of human organs inside animals using induced pluripotent stem cells. This technology has the potential to solve the organ scarcity problem by providing a limitless source of personalised organs for transplantation, but also raises several ethical issues, particularly concerning animal welfare, the 'human features' problem and human dignity.
