Physicians who are involved in any role in research with human participants have an ethical obligation to ensure that participants’ interests are protected.

Physicians should work to develop clear institutional policies for performing procedures on newly deceased patients for training purposes.
Xenotransplantation is a possible novel means of addressing the shortage of transplantable organs that can pose distinctive ethical challenges.
