Frankly, we have used animals in testing and producing products for human benefit for some time. This is just the next logical step. Of course, some will see this as the slippery slope to the Island of Dr. Moreau. I don't think so.
The Animal Rights activists will be appalled at the blatant exploitation of animals and Religious Righties will, of course, see this as PLAYING GOD. Funny they don't have any problem with anesthesia or vaccinations. Of course, they will always seem to connect this type of scientific exploration with ABORTION.
The fact is, human organs will continue to be highly valuable and not enough donors ride motorcycles. Of course people will try to come up with ways to Grow donatable organs. We can't do it in beakers, so animals are the best choice. Will we end up cloning "Spares" like in The Island? Doubtful.
Too many people think that we can't progress because the lure to mis-use our knowledge is too great. So the answer is: Stay dumb? We already have WAY more information than we need to really screw each other up and that won't change, no matter what.

Well if you put it that way! Noooooooo!! We mustn't stay dumb. Onward onward I say and kill any who would hold the white-coats back!!!
Besides the third world supply of organs is getting dangerously low. Science unlike like the evil capitalist invisible hand is self correcting, altruistic and our one true hope, more regulations and controls for everything else but please, for the love of the flying spaghetti monster, let raw science run free. Let it run free and as fast as a three legged chicken.
