It is a medical term for the transplantation of animal organs into humans. This process requires the animals to be bred genetically in special conditions and killing them to harvest their organs. Animals like pigs, monkeys, chimpanzees and baboons have been used for Xenotransplantation, out of which pigs are the ideal organ donors. This technology boasts benefits like decreasing the illegal trade of human organs and answering patients waiting for heart transplants. The advancements in this field of science would lead to animal savagery.
