From: Xenotransplantation – Ethical Considerations based on Human and Societal Perspectives
justice | dignity | welfare | |
|---|---|---|---|
pasient | More transplants | Consent may change over time | Survival, even with acceptable quality of life |
family | No or few unreasonable constraints (uncertain) | Loss of motivation to uphold strict regime over time | Improved quality in family, but also additional strain |
society | Unvoluntary and large risks | Some groups principally opposed | Uncertain net-effect in health economy |
future generations | Unvoluntary risks inherited | Practically irreversible risks | Strain on their health economy possible? |
animals | Some compensation | Limited satisfaction of basic needs, artificial environment | Pain and suffering |
