For the first time, a pig kidney has been transplanted into a human without triggering immediate rejection by the recipient's immune system, a potentially major advance that could eventually help alleviate a dire shortage of human organs for transplant

The procedure done at NYU Langone Health in New York City involved the use of a pig whose genes had been altered so that its tissues no longer contained a molecule known to trigger almost immediate rejection.The recipient was a brain-dead patient with signs of kidney dysfunction whose family consented to the experiment before she was due to be taken off life support, researchers told Reuters.The successful experiment should allow for trials in patients with end-stage kidney failure.

Patients denied transplants for refusing Covid vaccine 05:29The current experiment involved a single transplant, and the kidney was left in place for only three days, so any future trials are likely to uncover new barriers that will need to be overcome, Montgomery said. Participants would probably be patients with low odds of receiving a human kidney and a poor prognosis on dialysis.

Not a surprise. This was coming. Remarkable achievement in medical therapy

WARNING ⚠️ COVID-19 vaccination is the mark of the beast…

ireland chief of staff if i want pig parts don't need no dr need a inexpensive butcher , or a costco membership mc donalds gift card ; be related to a farmer lucky road kill / or wanderer jimmy dean smoked

Kramer was right.

Let's wait a few months and see what happens. The body could reject the kidney anytime in the future.

I'm sure the fauci beagle people will be upset about this

Maybe they can do the same with the brain , it would really help Brandon out.

I mean, wouldn’t that make us cannibals?

poor muslims who will die, cause they refuse to get a Pig Organ.

Must be a trump relative.

Did you ask the pig for permission? No. Leave other animals alone. They did not volunteer for this.

Pigs are more deserving of life than most humans.

Maybe we shouldn't be mixing animals and humans. asinthedaysofNoah

justina_4u2nv kinoputiya oh wow.

The next time someone calls us a pig, let's all grunt like one eh?

This is such a lodestar of hope for those of us waiting for a kidney.

I told y'all bacon was good for ya.

KallieEjigu Now try sheep for Muslims 🐏

if a cannibal ate him then would they technically be eating pork? asking for a friend.

What was the name of the cop who gave up his kidney?

markclaflin interesting!!

It might be my agonal breathing and kidney transplant is the only option. I would say “ it’s time, let it be”. Imagine having in ur body, an organ of an animal whose even its flesh is prohibited. We need a Fatwah on this muftimenk

Why not experiment more...

Well, this makes sense since pig valves have been used successfully for years in humans. 🐖 🐷 🫀♥️

What happened to growing organs?

Long time coming. Transplant candidates need hope in this wonderful new science!!

Pig 🐷? How please?

Part of the deal, though, is you have to sign a pact to never eat bacon again. That's how they got the pigs to agree to donate.

BUT … WHY?

There will be a fastandfurious debate among the many ulamas & Muslim scholars who will then come to the same conclusion before lunch: pigs are haram for transplants. Nuff said TrustNoOne

Mad Science

If it has to do with forced vaccines, transhumanism, or ideological subversion, CNN is on it.

Bacon makes everything better.

U.S. House committee rejects Bannon 'privilege' argument in Jan. 6 probeThe U.S. congressional committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol said on Monday that it rejected Steve Bannon's arguments for failing to cooperate with the probe, as the panel pursues a contempt of Congress charge against the long-time adviser to former President Donald Trump. I read that there was another provision in some law, where congress can invoke some other clause and get them arrested ? By the way, these witnesses were clearly a part of a conspiracy to stage a coup. Is that not cause for arrest ? Garland is too timid. Time will run out!
