  2. I am actually only got maybe a year or two left on my kidneys a knife figured I wasn’t gonna go for a human transplant or dialysis and I was just gonna die because of the side effects and everything that goes wrong. In the short time you have on dialysis and a human kidney transplant, plus the cancer possibilities but this pig kidney thing might be the answer for me. I might do this actually if that’s offered for me I don’t know if I’ll be dead before it’s on the market or if they would except me as a test subject, which I gladly do, but it kind of gives me hope that I might not be dead in two years. I’m only 49 years old now but I just can’t imagine going to dialysis three times a week for four hours a day and feeling weak and sick or getting a kidney transplant that’s only gonna last 7 to 10 years and repress my immune system so I can possibly get colon cancer or other kinds of cancers.

  3. How stupid could smart people be?atrocious

  4. That is fascinating and hopeful. Animal activists are going to be all over this.

  5. Who gave permission for brain dead soul to be experiment. On.

  6. Wow. Just cuz the patient might be a bit dumb, no need to insult them 😒

  7. Pig kidney will be given to people who is on Medicaid, Medicare, and Obama Care. Human kidney will be given to the rich and wealthy people.

  8. If you drink alcohol you should be banned from getting a kidney, liver, or heart transplant.

  9. Trump got a kidney transplant? How was that kept out of the news?

  10. smithsonian's might love these

  11. Love & deep respect to Maurice for availing his body for such a procedure.

  12. Hopefully this gives hope for all the people that need transparents. As for that person who is unfortunately braindead. They will be remembered.

  13. Japanese nazi doctors were doing this kind of surgeries on live people in unit 731, read about it is brutal.

  14. Not amazing, crazy. Are humans turning into animals?

  15. Rich will get it, poor will read about it.

  16. Doubtful because the brain is dead. We don’t know if the body would reject if it had a fully functional brain.

  17. Hmmm… Well… Okay.

  18. ❤awsome congratulations

  19. I’m not impressed I’m appalled ….. no one escapes death …. No one lives forever …. Seems grotesque at best

  20. So we can have pig organs to stay alive but women and the lgbtq community can not make their own medical decisions? Has the author of the HOLY BIBLE heard about putting pig organs in humans to stay alive!!! BAN THESE PROCEDURES IN TEXAS!!! BIBLE BELT!!! MAN IS NOT APE OR PIG!!! MAN IS MAN!!! 🤠

  21. Why don't lazy disgusting humans educate themselves on nutrition and health instead of relying on animal abuse and frankenfood methods to save them? Wake TF up assholes. Genetic modifications are WRONG. Look at what you're feeding your family!!! Educate yourselves. "Seeds of deception" is a great book. These people are making an insane amount of money on your ignorance!!

  22. Who was the patient? Biden?

  23. Only questions I have are 1. Was the pig pastor raised? 2. Is the pig kidney 100% certified organic? Possible 3. Is it kosher?

  24. that one person that did that a while back died. you cant change science. if you going to die you will die period.

  25. So they're using a person who has no voice as a lab rat. Regardless of the families opinion you can never be sure. And now there is another reason to brutalize an animal.

  26. Look up the book called "Chromosome 6" about this. Came out in the 90s.

  27. That's why I'm listed as an organ donor. I want things to progress and help others in the future.

  28. there cetainly ethics questions that come up about using a live human without that persons personal permission, questions that obviously the doctors addressed "adequately" enough to get approval to do this… I understand the ramifications of success, and the lives it will save, I myself need new lungs… but with Medical experimentation in the past with no ethical oversight at all, we must remain vigilant that all the "i" are dotted, and all the "t" crossed… basically boils down to I hope at the very least there was an advocate for the patient (not a family member) who weighed the patentiets risks and felt that he would not suffer as a result. If it were me on the table I would like an impartial person looking out for me.

  29. Who consented??? Sister? "He would have wanted it"? So he never consented to such a thing. Chimera

  30. But NO information about HOW it was genetically modified???? Big fail for the reporting!!!

  31. Enough people die every day to give anyone needing an organ what they need, it's just that most people refuse to be orang donors because they're selfish. I always get a chuckle out of the so-called pro-life people who refuse to be organ donors.

    But hopefully, this will help all of the people who need organs.
