Omg… never gave a Gold in reddit. Now I just wished we had It here haha
This is really exciting news, The severe lack of viable transplant organs has been a serious hinderance to the medical profession. If the process can be perfected this has the potential to save millions of lives.
Wait, they transplanted a pig’s kidney into a… corpse? How did they get authorization for that experiment exactly? The family donated the body to science? I know they’d have just kept him on dialysis if they were actually attempting to prolong his heart beating corpse status.

Pig Kidney also sounds like a cool band name.
I can only assume the pig consented to this. What a kind animal.
It has another kidney, so I’m sure it’s fine.
We asked. It oinked.
