That sort of donation would bring you trouble here.
The following link explains their research and work -you can read it in English. They do some of our embryo work on the farm (the cow in the photo is one of ours). Cesare is a pioneering clonation scientist -he cloned the first horse, Prometea, to give birth to a son, Pegasus.

His work for organ donation is with pigs -I have no problem with eating meat and if a pig's liver could help to prolong or save a person's life that's OK by me. Their work is centered on the culturing and growth of the organs in the laboratory thus avoiding un-necessary animal death.

They are a registered charity and have never had problems with Anti-vivisectionists, as far as I know, as they don't kill animals in their research.
