Omg… never gave a Gold in reddit. Now I just wished we had It here haha
This is really exciting news, The severe lack of viable transplant organs has been a serious hinderance to the medical profession. If the process can be perfected this has the potential to save millions of lives.
That’s nothing, I’ve been transplanting pig tissue into my organs for years and I’m doing fine. Some of the biggest risks come from the cooking stage but it’s otherwise pleasant.
Pig Kidney also sounds like a cool band name.
Wait, they transplanted a pig’s kidney into a… corpse? How did they get authorization for that experiment exactly? The family donated the body to science?

I can only assume the pig consented to this. What a kind animal.
It has another kidney, so I’m sure it’s fine.
We asked. It oinked.
