Challenges in Pig Organ Xenotransplanting Trials Mary Roach
Mary Roach discusses xenotransplanting, the use of nonhuman organs, such as those from a pig, to replace failing human organs. This field is very new, with fewer than 10 xenotransplants performed. While one patient survived nine months with a pig kidney, most patients in the eGenesis pig kidney trial have only survived a couple of months.
