There's nothing ethically wrong with this until we consider eating meat unethical. As a society, we're nowhere near that.
If you personally don't want to use this, you can opt out.
You're breeding and killing an animal for its organs, and some would find that unethical. But you are doing it to save a human life, so it's a bit of a trolley problem I suppose.
It's not less ethical than doing it for meat, is my point.
Especially since a pig raised for organ transplant probably has way better living conditions than a pig raised for meat in an industrial farm.
