Transplantation Biotechnology : International Issues Including the Use of Non-human Cells, Tissues and Organs - Papers Presented at "Transplantation Biotechnology: A Workshop on International Issues Including the Use of Non-human Cells, Tissues and Organs" Held by the New York Academy of Sciences and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on March 18-20, 1998 in New York

This volume addresses critical issues in xenotransplantation, providing open and non-partisan discussion of related scientific and policy questions.

Three areas covered are: 1) international, collaborative, multidisciplinary research in xenotransplantation; 2) the practical applications of such research; and 3) comparative socioeconomic analysis, risk assessment and public policy evaluation of transplantation technologies.

The authors include specialiasts on monitoring, economics, ethics, law and policy from a number of countries.

It is hoped that this volume will open a new international dialogue of the regulatory aspects of xenotransplantation.
