Information: The Secretary’s Advisory
Committee on Xenotransplantation,
Department of Health and Human
Services, considers the scientific,
medical, social, and ethical issues and
the public health concerns raised by
xenotransplantation and makes
recommendations to the Secretary on
policy and procedures. The Committee’s
charges include advising on the current
state of knowledge regarding

xenotransplantation; and deliberating
on medical, public health, ethical, legal
and socioeconomic issues, including
