Could pigs be used to grow human organs for transplant? BBC News

Scientists in the United States are trying to grow human organs inside pigs. The research uses a revolutionary technique known as gene editing. Some experts believe it could be the answer to the world's organ transplant shortage, but it also raises ethical concerns.

This will save many lives if it works. Not enough actual humans are willing to donate or able to donate. Very good idea

My friend was a champion "rugby player" one afternoon he was playing in a tournament when a bad tackle took off half of his ear!
they never found it, consequently he went to hospital and they offered him a chance to try out the new alternative "pig skin" transplant!!
after a successful operation the new skin took! and it didn, t look un, natural either,
I asked him a few weeks later how it felt he replied,
" It feels fine, " the only problem I have is when I use the phone, I get a lot of oldie but goodie, 😂😂😂😉🐷🐷

... Why not get a human woman to give birth to a child with a pig's pancreas, see if it takes on pig characteristics?

Either way, this will be fantastic for diabetics.

Oh how I wish I could help animals more, but unfortunately I don't eat anything but meat and I refuse to eat anything that is not meat. As you can see I am very healthy. (What is life without bacon)
