Are pigs the future of mankind? Xenotransplantations and the hybridisation of the human body In recent years scientists have created genetically modified pigs for the purpose of xenotransplantations. These are transplants of animal organs into human patients. The paper examines why pigs have been chosen as donors, the significance of hybridisation and the controversies that these innovations have caused.
