Abstract

Can it be ethical to conduct xenotransplant research on a human brain-dead decedent (HB-DD) whose organs could otherwise be given to persons in need? The ethical consensus is that it is better to save existing persons via organ donation than to devote a HB-DD to research that will not directly benefit anyone. I argue otherwise. Given how rapidly xenotransplant research is progressing, and its clinical promise in the next couple of years or decades, I argue that it can be ethical to conduct xenotransplant research on a HB-DD whose organs could otherwise be given to individuals in need.

对人类脑死亡者进行伦理异种移植研究。

人类脑死亡死者（HB-DD）的器官本可以捐献给有需要的人，对其进行异种移植研究是否符合伦理？伦理共识认为，通过器官捐献来拯救现有的人，要好于将人脑死亡者用于不会直接惠及任何人的研究。我的观点与此相反。鉴于异种器官移植研究进展迅速，而且其在未来几年或几十年内的临床前景看好，我认为，对本来可以将器官捐献给有需要的人的 HB-DD 进行异种器官移植研究是合乎伦理的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
