Dr. Robert Montgomery, director of NYU Langone’s transplant institute, prepares a pig kidney for transplant into a brain-dead man in New York on July 14, 2023. Researchers around the country are racing to learn how to use animal organs to save human lives.NEW YORK—Surgeons transplanted a pig’s kidney into a brain-dead man and for over a month it’s worked normally—a critical step toward an operation the New York team hopes to eventually try in living patients.
“Is this organ really going to work like a human organ? So far it’s looking like it is,” Dr. Robert Montgomery, director of NYU Langone’s transplant institute, told The Associated Press. “I struggled with it,” his sister, Mary Miller-Duffy, told the AP about her decision. But he liked helping others and “I think this is what my brother would want. So I offered my brother to them.”Attempts at animal-to-human transplants, or xenotransplantation, have failed for decades as people’s immune systems attacked the foreign tissue. Now researchers are using pigs genetically modified so their organs better match human bodies.

More power to youLET's continue with the first building block of power: generation. How do we make power and how much does it cost? Just this week there were two interesting articles on generation in the New York Times and Financial Times. The most comprehensive and interesting article I have read in the main press (versus specialized industry and trade press) is 'The clean energy future is arriving faster than you think' which was published by the New York Times on August 13. I also found the Financial Times August 13 article 'Republican districts dominate US clean technology investment boom' interesting, mainly to show how out of step and hypocritical right-wing climate deniers and fossil fuel bloviators on the rabid right are. I suppose in our paper, Cut and Paste, who I suppose fancies himself as Mr. Karbon is just Mr. Uling, given the realities and prospects for coal.
