Xenotransplantation: The Galilean Experiment? ...
-George Orwell (Animal Farm)
Galileo’s cannonball experiment was performed, in reality, without endangering life. He saw this experiment as the ordeal (il cimento) to which we expose our hypothesis or the implications that follow them. ... Outside the area of xenotransplantation (‘xenos’, a Greek word for ‘foreign’ or ‘strange’), scientists cast many hypotheses into a negative form, explaining why so many experiments attempt to refute a null hypothesis. It is for this reason that xenotransplantation may not reach apodictic certainty. Before the world dismisses xenotransplantation as a metaphysical fancy, scientists should reflect that xenotransplantation is progressing on the molecular front and can be the next great transformation in medicine.
Xenotransplantation has enabled me to enjoy exploring the imaginative preconceptions –a brainwave, a guess, a product of a blaze of insight that comes from within, not arrived by a derived Euclidean axiom.
