I feel xenotransplants ethically eventually goes zero? A non cognitive shell is less sentient than a clinic rared animal with sharable organs. Xtransplants are a step up from food factory farming but doesnt do much for the rights of non-humans still.

You don't keep the animal alive indefinitely in a questionably vegetative just to grow up its organs though - you let it roam about (likely in a caged and germ free, granted, but hopefully large, facility) and when the time comes to harvest the organ, you sacrifice the animal in a humane way.
