摘要

Due to the shortage of human organs, this study explores the Jewish perspectives on the permissibility of using pig organs in transplantation. Despite the religious prohibition of consuming pork, Jewish law allows their use for life-saving medical procedures. Our study surveyed 916 Jewish participants, examining their knowledge of religious rulings and their attitudes toward six medical applications of pig-organ transplants. We found that the degree of religious knowledge significantly influences the respondents’ attitudes. Herein, we provide recommendations for enhancing the cultural competence of medical practitioners and improving the informed consent process for Jewish patients for whom xenotransplantation is recommended.
