Scientists, doctors and seers of the future are getting very excited about xenotransplantation - the transfer of organs from animals to humans. This could, they say, lead to a revolution in medicine ; even an extension of our lifespans. What we are not told about is the risks. For the story behind xenotransplantation is a frightening one. It is a story of falsified reports and compromised science. It risks the potential introduction of new diseases to humans - with possibly catastrophic results. And, although xenotransplantation has been worked by scientists for almost 100 years, it so far boasts not one single success story. Alix Fano explains the truth behind the hype and the dangers we face. (R.A.).
