Xenotransplant Research Paper

Xenotransplant is the process of transplanting non-human organs or tissues, into a human body. To put it differently, it replaces the damaged organ in the human with a healthy organ from an animal. It can also involve the combining or transplant of body fluids, tissues and cells by having their cells come into contact with another species outside of the recipient 's body, also referred to as bridging transplants. This is seen during a liver dialysis when the recipients blood passes through a genetically modified pig liver as a temporary dialysis machine until the recipient receives a new human organ. This has been done since the 1900 's but most have failed due to the unawarness of the body 's immune system and its possibility to reject a

Xenotransplant is used for a variety of transplants, such as organ transplants of the heart, liver, lungs, pancreas and kidneys. It can also be applied to tissues, and cells by replacing destroyed or damaged cells for diabetes, Alzheimer 's, Parkinson 's and more. As well as skin grafts, cornea transplants and even bone transplants.
There are many benefits to xenotransplant, but they can also come with risks. Some benefits of xenotransplant are to transplant a variety of cells and tissues to treat diseases such as those listed above, as well as to buy time for patients who need an allotransplantation (transplants between the same species), or who need to find a suitable

I both agree and disagree. I agree because xenotransplant is another way that we can aid people to live another day, where they don 't have to suffer in pain or struggle with day to day activities. It gives them a chance to enjoy life 's opportunities before it is too late. On the other hand, I also disagree because there are many risks that can take place, and not just to the recipient of the organ or tissues, but also to the people around them. So by trying to save one person, one ends up killing much more. I also disagree because in this world one way or another we all will have to die, so why sacrifice an animal that was made for a purpose to try to make one live longer when we are all meant to die anyways? We all know that no one can cheat death, therefore, why try? Although I do believe that saving a life is a great deed, but in the great scope of things is it really? I believe that yes it would be good to have xenotransplants in Canada, but they should be used in moderation and the recipients should be kept in quarantine or should be looked after to see if anything
