The Institute of Medicine (IOM) made a committee in October 1994. this committee was made to plan a workshop to consider the scientific and medical feasibility of xenotransplantation and to explore the ethical and public policy issues applicable to the possibility of renewed clinical trials of xenotransplantation.

Here is another area of focus, which is increasing concern about the potential risk of animal-to-human disease transmission through xenotransplantation. It is a three-day workshop which was held in late June 1995 and involved 43 speakers and presenters and more than 200 participants.


The workshop focused on three major topics:
The science base;
The public health risks of infectious disease transmission;
The ethical and public policy issues, including the views of patients and their families
