xenotransplantation #2

yes, the last one is gone, dunno why!

but xenotransplantation is taking an animal organ and put it in a human being.
they are still experimenting because they haven't really made huge successes, just a few minor ones.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenotransplantation

please discuss

 

I do not believe humans can adopt the organs of animals, as the sizes differ and the cells might not be the same.

 

Pigs.

Remarkably similar.

 

Yup the use of pig organs is actually not uncommon these days.

It's a subject that I don't know much about, but I believe if it works, and there are no side-effects then I don't see why not. If it's going to save a life it's worth doing.

 

it does have side effect, your body can reject a pigs organ, so you need to take shitloads of medicine everyday!

 

Yes, and that medicine makes your immune system almost shut down, leading to cancer and disease.

 

(wow, finally an intelligent poster who knows what he is talking about)

yup, and if you have AIDS, well your screwed.

 

Thats why you might check for AIDS before you stick a pig's heart into urself. I agree with it, however, it has to be safe before we start using it in full, and having human pigs.

 

cant you take a dewer injection from animals?
or does that have to come from your own ass

 

ehh..having a pig organ inside you.

*oink* thats weird, i wouldnt be cought dead with one in me *oink

*snort*

 

It wouldn't feel right, at all...

 

That is really not cool lol

 

no, but in the future it can save lives!

 

Putting pigs organs inside a human won't work at all.
