ABSTRACT

In total, 150 participants were recruited through advertisements on an online bulletin board targeting students at Carnegie Mellon University. One was omitted from the analyses because his written responses were unrelated to xenotransplantation. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 56 years (mean = 23.0; SD = 7.4). They were 45 percent female, 52 percent organ donors, and 79 percent pork eaters, with 15 percent having at least some graduate education.
