One of the current major areas of research in heart transplants is the use of pig hearts for human transplants. Since pig and human hearts are virtually identical anatomically, researchers feel that it can make hearts available to everyone that needs one. Should the organs of pigs (or any other animals) be used to preserve the lives of humans? Why or why not?
What is the task that you need to do for a pig heart transplant into a human?
Throughout the development of prosthetic heart valves, how might application of nanotechnology be used to improve the strength of the prosthetic heart valves and reduce complications and failures? Discuss.
