The author discusses two problems concerning transplantology: ethical problems of xenotransplantation and legal issues of scarce resources distribution during transplantation. Growing shortage donor organs and tissues raises scientists’ interest towards xenotransplantation. In author’s opinion, in order to achieve maximum objective and responsible decision on the problem whether the outcome to be got as a result of xenotransplantation will exceed the risk of distorting the immunological barrier vital for revival of any species, the one to set apart a human being from other species requires public awareness. Redistribution of scarce resources during transplantation, performed in accordance with social status of an individual or a group of individuals is a routine mechanism to be more or less observed in any community.

Unlike the world practice, in Georgia there is no moral principle to serve as a basis for reception and distribution of donor organs. An organ can be transplanted from a genetic relation alive or got through criminal structures (to be sold and bought).
