Black people were doing similar scientific experiments with animals thousands of years ago

Thanks Yakub for the white man

Would a vegan decline the chance to have their life saved if they knew their new heart would come from a pig?

Or an Muslim

Pig has a lifespan of 15 – 20 years...might need a backup plan

many people with human heart transplants also need a new one after awhile

I wonder how much easier heart transplants are these days and how long the recovery will take..is it worth getting one ?

Awesome.
Hopefully they can do this for kidneys, pancreases, etc…as well.

I would assume the pig lifecycle transplant would be much shorter than a human one. They say a human transplant lasts 15-20 years with humans having a longer life expectancy than 15-20 years total on some pigs. Hopefully it works out long term, it will help a lot of people if this is something they can make work

So why they didn’t get the heart from a monkey/gorilla if we so called came from them?

Them nikkas started off as fish then got bored and walked straight out the water into the jungle with trees and everything.

They might have too much heart
