However, the scarcity of human organs has caused many patients, who could have been treated, to die while waiting for suitable organs around the world. Pig-to hu- man xenotransplantation provides a potential solution to solve this tough problem. Pig organs have been considered as major sources of xenotransplantation because of the sufficient number of donors, the sizes of organs, and physiologically structural similarities. However, xenotransplantation also has some problems, such as the possibility of spreading animal diseases to human, the interspecies immunological barrier, organs of animal origin challenging human nature, and potential informed consent issues. This article will discuss these potential issues and to see whether it is the suitable time to conduct clinical xenotransplantation trials in humans.","PeriodicalId":29643,"journal":{"name":"Acta Bioethica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47066385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was a cross-sectional study, with 389 midwifery and nursing students at a public university volunteering to participate in the study. Data were collected using a “Personal Information Form”, the “Body Confidentiality Scale for Obstetrics and Gynecology” and the “Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale”. The participants had a mean age of 20.89 ± 1.86 years. The mean score they gave to the question whether they paid attention to privacy was 8.21 ±1.88. The mean Rosenberg self-esteem score was 29.44 ± 4.83 (minimum = 10, maximum = 40). The mean overall privacy score was 36.10 ± 6.84 (min = 9, max = 45), rights and privacy was 20.80 ± 3.71 (min = 5, max = 25), ethics and privacy was 20.45 ± 3.67 (min = 5, max = 25), and clinical privacy was 75.22 ± 12.33 (min = 18, max = 90). According to the results, obstetrics and nursing students, who would later intervene in women’s health, had higher than average self-esteem and perception of privacy. Nevertheless, the establishment of the concept of “privacy” is an issue that should be addressed and reinforced in the training of obstetrics and nursing students who will provide services in such a sensitive field as gynecology and obstetrics.","PeriodicalId":29643,"journal":{"name":"Acta Bioethica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42765140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
