These letters are very important. I wonder if the clowns in the New Zealand Ministry of Health are fnally feeling embarrassment from worrying over cultural safety.
The statements that I felt were very significant from Dr. Fishman were 'I was a co-author of a recent paper proposing a moratorium on human xenotransplantation (1). However, because certain of my concerns have been addressed, I no longer feel that a such a moratorium is necessary' and 'The risks of xenotransplantation are not zero. Ultimately, these risks can only be measured in clinical trials'.
I think that is what TIF and many of the people on this forum have been saying all along.
