    • Pig organs are similar enough to human organs; pigs are of approximately the same size as humans and are easy to breed. At the same time, from an evolutionary point of view, pigs are not as close relatives as primates, and the risk of transmission of disease is believed to be considerably lower than from primates.

    • See reference 13: Bach et al are thus recommending two moratoriums: one before any clinical trials of xenotransplantation start and one after the first clinical trials-before moving to clinical use. However, it could be extremely difficult to put the proposed second evaluative moratorium into effect - If xenotransplantation is successful and no sign of viral infections appear.

    • This does not hold for bridges. Bridging to obtain a human organ later is meaningless in the clinical setting; in research it may be more acceptable but it imposes other risks on the participants.
