David Bennett Sr. has died, two months after receiving a genetically modified pig’s heart. Like any transplant operation, there were ethical decisions to make. If you are an animal rights activist, you have even more ethical decisions to think about. But this particular transplant brings in even a broader range of ethical considerations, which is obvious once you read this: The ethics of a second chance: Pig heart transplant recipient stabbed a man seven times years ago.
I generally have faith in medical professionals to make the right ethical choices when it comes to transplants. I think he should have received the transplant and a transplant from a pig is acceptable. But read about it yourself and see what you think.
