A 53-year-old woman was the third to undergo the transplant procedure. Researchers are hoping to monitor the long-term effects.

      Please don’t bring pigs down to their level.

        Pigs are awesome, and delicious! Clearly better than us.

          I hear long pork is delicious too so I’m not sure they win that round (having only eaten the regular pork)

            I don’t know, I’ve seen people and they don’t look delicious.

      Past attempts were, technically, successful. The problem with the patients was that they were already on the edge of death. A new human kidney might not have saved them either.

      Not that these things don’t still need some work, which is why they’re still experimental.

    What a selfless pig, donating one of its kidneys.
