Organ transplantation has been regarded as a successful method of treatment for curing
             human illnesses. Transplantation is the act of surgically removing an organ from one person and
             placing it into another person. This process is done to those patient's whose own organ has
             failed. Transplantation has had many positive results in saving human lives. However, a problem
             with this method is the shortage of human organs and tissues to transplant. In an effort to solve
             this, the medical field has considered an alternative method to harvesting organs,
             xenotransplantation. Xenotransplantation is the transplantation of organs, tissues or cells from
             one species to another. In our case, it would be from animal to human. If this method succeeded,
             it would offer an unlimited supply of organs, tissues and cells for transplantation that would
             assist in the shortage of human donors.
             More research with xenotransplantation is still needed to be done before becoming a
             clinical reality. Up to this moment there have been some attempts of transplanting xenogenic
             organs to humans. Organs from pigs and nonhuman primates, such as chimpanzees and baboons,
             have been used. All of which have turned out with unfortunate results. Some of the biological
             challenges that are needed to be overcome by this project are: the body's rejection to the new
             transplant, the assuredness of the transplant functioning properly, and the preventative measures
             of introduction of new infectious agents into the human population. Along with biological
             challenges, xenotransplantation also faces ethical concerns.
             The survival of humanity has always raised ethical issues. From stem cell research to
             artificial insemination, people have always taken a position on what is right and what is wrong.
             Religion has a significant influence on people's opinions and will inevitably raise questions on
             what right humans have i...
