User talk:WetNoodle256/Xenotransfusion

I agree with another user that is saying there is heavy bias within the section of "Ethical arguements involving the pig for xenotransfusion". I think edits could be made to this area stating the arguments themselves rather than picking a side claiming that it is ethical or unethical. Which, in the article as it stands, is clearly in favor of xenotransfusion. This is an interesting topic (in my opinion), but stating the positions would be more appropriate for the sake of being encyclopedic, rather than saying why it's supposedly ethical and what it will supposedly do overall. Who is making the claim that, " Sus scrofa domesticus’s blood will be used to save lives and to increase blood quantity. The organism will be kept alive and no serious harm will be involved in XTF. It will be similar to how blood is removed from humans." . . and so on.. ?? Providing the uninvolved 3rd party perspective would be imperative in this application- along with the opposing viewpoint. The opposition (however obvious it may seem) is not clearly represented at all-- making the section bias or incorrectly titled. Though again, being an encyclopedic reference, it shouldn't be biased at all-- the content within that section should be changed. I believe the section title is appropriate. So, information on why it is being questioned and its fails should be incorporated, as I assume there are fails; why question it at all if there weren't, all while no animals were harmed.? (as I assume those are the questions of ethics). Either way, the article still states there's not much need for it since humans are willing to donate blood. That in itself somewhat defeats the purpose of all of it given the information available- debunking its own statement saying that it will be used to save lives. ?

A new article could be made as well (and linked) to cover what the International Xenotransplantation Association (IXA) is/does- though again, this seems obvious and the Ethics Committee's findings is stated within the article- it would be an idea for further investigation to broaden the topic and/or make it more clean-cut; covering what the IXA does/did and who they are- separating them from the topic itself. Since it seems that this is controversial and experimental, it seems like several potential articles are lingering in one- though the overarching question of ethics is present throughout.

Hope this helps in any way!
