Fuck. Someone would counterbid for yours. No pork for me. Why are we sharing DNA with rats and pigs? Man is unclean.
:crying:

Sharing DNA has nothing to do with a transplant. The similarities of our DNA have been there since the beginning of time, it is just that now we have the science and expertise to know that those similarities exist and use it to our advantage to heal the sick.

If some people choose to die instead of benefit from science, then so be it.....nothing new.

This is good news for millions (recipients and families). Maybe even for some cats on this board.

cacs are letting you KNOW their orgins.. that shit will NOT work

on no fuckin real Knigga..

You gotta have that piggish complexion...

fuckin cacs with their fuckin

pig lungs and monkey hearts an shit...

aint nothing going to stop that extinction,

well one thing will..

if cacs move back to their natural environments.

and stop trying to be TROPICAL people..

THEY ARE SIMPLY OUT OF THEIR ELEMENT AND

THAT IS WHATS KILLING THEIR BIRTHRATE,

a MASS MIGRATION TO SIBERIA

would dead all that extinction shit,

and they would flourish again...

but they too busy trying to US...

laying on beaches for hours an shti..

Living in places they know DAMN

well they NOT supposed to be living..

and shit..

but its their birthrate not mine

so it is what it is...

EXTINCTION..

So believe it or not but there is currently research being done on the viability of using vegetables as living "scaffolds" for lab grown organs.....

A partial spine repair/ replacement may be done with a modified asparagus spear or celery stalk....

Got real bad Cauliflower ear or lost an ear....with the help of an apple you could have a new one sewn on.


This was from 5 years ago. But a recent podcast has suggested that Andrew has made some significant progress with his theory.
Interesting and very good article here..... :thumbsup:

NEW YORK, Oct 19 (Reuters) - 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 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 of life support, researchers told Reuters.

For three days, the new kidney was attached to her blood vessels and maintained outside her body, giving researchers access to it.

Test results of the transplanted kidney's function "looked pretty normal," said transplant surgeon Dr. Robert Montgomery, who led the study.

The kidney made "the amount of urine that you would expect" from a transplanted human kidney, he said, and there was no evidence of the vigorous, early rejection seen when unmodified pig kidneys are transplanted into non-human primates.

The recipient's abnormal creatinine level - an indicator of poor kidney function - returned to normal after the transplant, Montgomery said.

In the United States, nearly 107,000 people are presently waiting for organ transplants, including more than 90,000 awaiting a kidney, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. Wait times for a kidney average three-to-five years.

Researchers have been working for decades on the possibility of using animal organs for transplants, but have been stymied over how to prevent immediate rejection by the human body.

Montgomery's team theorized that knocking out the pig gene for a carbohydrate that triggers rejection - a sugar molecule, or glycan, called alpha-gal - would prevent the problem.

The genetically altered pig, dubbed GalSafe, was developed by United Therapeutics Corp's (UTHR.O) Revivicor unit. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December 2020, for use as food for people with a meat allergy and as a potential source of human therapeutics.

Medical products developed from the pigs would still require specific FDA approval before being used in humans, the agency said.

Using pigs been going on literally for decades man.... the DNA is pretty close to ours... nothing really new except for the kidney transplant starting to be successful

I know. BTW, didn't they try a baboon's heart valve on Arnold first? I seem to recall a vague memory of something like that. :idea:

All cannibals say cooked human tastes and smells like pork roast so.

One of my wife's friends is a coroner. When he was in the army he had to do autopsies on the marines that were killed in the Lebanon bombing. He said the burned bodies smelled just like pork.....he can't eat pork to this day cause of it.

As a person that's stood over a burned body.... don't believe that shit..... it smells like meat.... but different..... like meat, but no meat that you've ever cooked.... It smells nothing like pork..... I've cooked pork many different ways too...a homeless dude was randomly staying in a guys tool shed..... we got a call of the shed being on fire....possibility of a person inside.... got there it was fully involved...... we knocked the main fire down, but saw no body in there..... but there was a grill cooked meat smell.... come to find out mofo was in there burned to a crisp....I was standing a foot away from what was left of his body.... I kept saying where? Arson investigator pointed to a bright white object on the floor..... it was his exposed shin bone.... I was like wtf?

First-ever pig-to-human heart transplant offers hope for thousands in need of organs



A Maryland man has lived for three days with a pig heart beating inside his chest.

The surgery, at the University of Maryland Medical Center, marks the first time a gene-edited pig has been used as an organ donor.

Dave Bennett, 57, agreed to be the first to risk the experimental surgery, hoping it would give him a shot at making it home to his Maryland duplex and his beloved dog, Lucky.

“This is nothing short of a miracle,” his son David said Sunday, two days after his father's life-extending surgery. “That’s what my dad needed, and that’s what I feel like he got.”

In the nine-hour surgery, doctors replaced his heart with one from a 1-year-old, 240-pound pig gene-edited and bred specifically for this purpose.

Bennett is breathing on his own without a ventilator, though he remains on an ECMO machine that does about half the work of pumping blood throughout his body. Doctors plan to slowly wean him off.

Scientists have worked for decades to figure out how to save human lives with animal organs. More than 100,000 people sit on organ transplant waitlists, suffering terrible symptoms and side effects. About 6,000 of them die every year waiting in vain for someone else's tragedy to provide them with a kidney, heart or lung.

Pigs have similar organs to humans. If those organs could be used in transplants, the waiting would end. People who would never be considered candidates for transplants – who never make it onto those transplant lists – could look forward to family dinners, playing with their kids or grandkids and simply going back to living their lives.

Damn, and I was about to ask is this shit real? Pig heart for humans. But just got my answer. They say they don't have a cause of death and we all know it was cuz of a pig heart in a human body c'mon son.

So does he go to pig heaven or human heaven?
