Abstract
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD xenotransplantation researchers are confronted not only with medical and technological difficulties but also with cultural and ethical ambiguities. Within the research program “Treatment of Diabetes by Transplantation of Porcine Islets” at Karolinska Institute/Huddinge University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, an interview study has been performed concerning the cultural and ethical issues related to xenotransplantation research and development. The purpose of the study is to evaluate, from cultural and ethical viewpoints, the way in which the xenotransplantation approach is perceived among individuals who either professionally or by personal plight are engaged in the scientific development of treating diabetes by transplantation of porcine islets.
