    I've been seeing some reports that the US FDA has
    finally approved experimental use of genetically
    altered pig livers for human implantation.

    They've been working on this for a long time.
    Antigenic features that would cause rejection
    have been removed.

    Those with pig-hating religions ... tuff titty.

    There are similar efforts for pig hearts.

    Face it, LOTS and LOTS of people get bad
    hearts and livers and kidneys ... but the
    volume of human donors - esp compatibles -
    is quite SMALL. Antigen-neutral pigs can
    be "manufactured" in large quantities.
