PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS CALLED FOR ON ANIMAL-TO-HUMAN TRANSPLANTS.
(From New Zealand Press Association)
EMBARGOED 0100 FEB 1
Wellington, Feb 1 NZPA - The Bioethics Council today called for public submissions on xenotransplantation -- putting organs or tissue from animals into humans.
``A number of xenotransplantation or animal-to-human transplantation procedures...potentially offer treatment for serious conditions such as kidney or liver failure and diabetes,'' Jill White, chairwoman of the Government adviser on biotechnology, said today.
Scientific advances were steadily overcoming previous hurdles, such as rejection by the immune systems of human patients.
``Scientists and researchers are again looking at how animal transplants could form part of the solution to the accelerating demand for transplanted tissue, especially with an aging population and limited supply of human organ donors,'' she said.
Six New Zealand diabetics injected with insulin-producing islet cells from pig pancreas in the mid-1990s are reported to still be alive and well as part of a continuing clinical trial.
