What are the dangers of Xenotransplantation?

Xenotransplantation, the transplantation of organs or tissues from one species to another, poses several dangers, including the risk of zoonotic infections, where diseases could jump from animals to humans. There is also the potential for immune rejection, as the human body may recognize the animal tissue as foreign and mount an attack. Additionally, ethical concerns arise regarding animal welfare and the implications of modifying animal genetics for human benefit. Lastly, long-term effects on human health and the environment are still largely unknown.
