Abstract: Xenotransplantation is the process of transplanting organs across different species. Here, we will specifically look at how modern medical technology is developing a way to use pig organs as an alternative for human organs. This would dramatically improve the dreadfully long waitlist times for those in need of an organ transplant. Obviously, xenotransplantation isn’t as simple as transplanting pig organs into humans expecting perfect functionality. With xenotransplantation comes risks such as diseases, and scientists are researching to find preparations to prepare for potential hazards. Although more development will need to take place, the future is no doubtedly bright for this new potential alternative to permanently overcome one more obstacle standing in the way of mankind: human organ supply shortages.
Keywords: xenotransplantation, organs, transplant, pigs, chronic illness, regeneration.
