Organ supplies are stagnant and scarce. This poses a critical issue. Fortunately with today’s technology, (aside from human transplantation) two major potential solutions have derived: xenotransplantation (the process of replacing human organs with animal organs) and organ engineering or tissue engineering (creating tissues and organs from human cells). Aside from the promising benefits and breakthroughs, these two methods are far from perfect, and although there has been successful cases, there…
