[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1725251, member: 21075"] Pretty interesting or at least to me. A hog heart at the time of slaughter is about the size of an adult human heart. Other organs from pigs being researched for transplantation into humans include kidneys, liver and lungs. Prior efforts at pig-to-human transplants have failed because of genetic differences that caused organ rejection or viruses that posed an infection risk. Scientists have tackled that problem by editing away potentially harmful genes.
