The Campaign for Responsible Transplantation (CRT) was launched on January 20th, 1998, out of concern over the irresponsible rush to commercialize animal-to-human organ and tissue transplantation (xenotransplantation). Xenotransplantation poses a grave danger to human health because of the risk of transferring deadly viruses to the human population. There are safer and more cost-effective ways to reduce the shortage of human organs for transplantation that are not being explored by the US government. CRT has grown to include 70 organizations from around the world, representing over two million people.
