Pig Kidneys Transplanted to Human in Milestone Experiment

It’s an exciting time to be an organ transplant physician. Just two weeks ago, doctors in Baltimore reported completing the first successful transfer of a pig heart into a living human patient. Now pig kidneys might be just around the corner.

An organ transplant is full of risks. The human immune system is remarkably good at distinguishing between “self” and “nonself,” and when it detects a foreign entity—whether a virus, a strange bacterium or someone else’s internal organ—it mounts an attack. This is great for fighting disease. But in the context of transplantation, a strong immune response can eventually cause the body to reject the new organ. To avoid this, doctors prescribe immunosuppressing drugs to the recipient.

The team’s procedure was not the first pig-to-human kidney transplantation: that operation took place on September 25 at NYU Langone Health, and the recipient was also a person without brain activity. “It was pretty exhilarating,” says Robert Montgomery, director of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute, who performed the surgery with his team. His and his colleagues’ research was designed primarily to test the viability of the single kidney.

My mind keeps going back to Pigney

This is fantastic news! 1 in 10 dollars of Medicare spending goes towards dialysis. This technique could go along way towards lowering the overall cost of healthcare in America.

Life span of humans, pigs, other animals, is primarily controlled by the DNA molecule, Humans 70-94 and pigs 15-20, Oregon also controlled by DNA. Longevity of organs can be Isagholian, molecular biology, evolution, DNA,m RNA, Call Don’s.

BIGGEST NEWz EVER .WHAT AN IRONY!HUMAN BEINGS HAVE NO ❤️FOR ANIMALS WHETHER STRAY OR PET OR BIRDS OR NATURE OR MOTHER EARTH 🌍 BUT ANIMALS ARE NW MORE OF tweetbeinghuman IN NATURE N NOW THEY ARE HELPING US IN COPING WD D CRISIS N SEVERE HEALTH ISSUES.BLESSED IS D GOD’S CREATION

Yes , but

Would be better if they were put just below your ribs, toward your back.

When will be head transplantation?

I'd prefer the pig live and the human die.

Coming up next… Pig dicks.

I am interested in the full report
