Summary: This book easily lives up to recent reviews
Comment: I just finished reading XENO - it easily lives up to the reviews I read in "Nature" and "The New Scientist." I wish all medical books were this thoughtful (and easy to read).

Summary: A sales pitch fraught with inaccuracies
Comment: If you liked what Song of the South did for American history, you will love Xeno's take on transplantion. Written by two individuals with a vested interest in promoting xeno-transplantation, the book glosses over the dangers inherent in putting organs from the animal thought to have the largest number of endogenous viruses into a severely and permanently immunosuppressed patient and then releasing that person in a unsuspecting world to be a human vector. The book alternates from blantant inaccuracies to sins of omission to the most impossibly naive spin on the abysmal history of this failed psuedo-science. I would love to think that the authors were just optimists but their resumes make it obvious that they have an enormous financial interest in keeping the dollars infused to their dangerous attempts at pseudo-science. This book is pure propaganda and the normally prestigous Oxford Press should be ashamed to have it on their list.
