“Wrangling came on the heel of a larger debate about the ethics of xenotransplantation.
“We are very afraid of dying that we will now genetically modify other creatures who are very intelligent, without their approval, and raise their offspring as a medical supply chain product that can be harvested? Disgusting,” a doctor who deals with organ solid transplants regularly, writes .
