Using animals for organ transplants, known as xenotransplantation, has potential benefits, such as addressing the shortage of human organ donors and saving lives. However, there are significant ethical concerns regarding animal welfare, as well as risks of zoonotic diseases that could arise from animal-to-human transplants.

Balancing these factors is crucial in determining the future of xenotransplantation.
