Only 25,000 human donor kidneys become available each year. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/srtr.transplant.hrsa.gov\/ADR\/2022\/Infographics\/2022_ADR_Infographic_KI.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Twelve Americans<\/a> on the kidney list die every day on average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Scientists first transplanted genetically engineered pig organs into other animals and then to brain-dead human patients. In 2022, researchers received permission to transplant the organs into a few critically ill patients, and then, last year, into healthier people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Now, for the first time, a formal clinical study of the procedure is being initiated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cJust imagine, you have kidney disease and know your kidneys are going to fail, and you have a pig\u2019s kidney waiting for you \u2014 and you never see dialysis,\u201d said Mike Curtis, president and chief executive at eGenesis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He foresees a future in which genetic engineering will make pig organs so compatible with humans that patients won\u2019t have to take powerful drugs that prevent rejection but make them vulnerable to infections and cancer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Babies born with serious heart defects might be given a pig\u2019s heart temporarily while waiting for a human donor heart. A pig\u2019s liver could potentially serve as a bridge for those in need of a human liver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some scientists argue that there is a moral imperative to move forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIs it ethical to let thousands of people die each year on a waiting list when we have something that could possibly save their lives?\u201d asked Dr. David K.C. Cooper, who studies xenotransplantation at Harvard and is a consultant to eGenesis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI think it\u2019s beginning to be ethically unacceptable to let people die when there\u2019s an alternative therapy that looks pretty encouraging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But critics say xenotransplantation is a hubristic, pie-in-the-sky endeavor aiming to solve an organ shortage with technology when there\u2019s a simpler solution: expanding the supply of human organs by encouraging more donation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And xenotransplantation is freighted with unanswered questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Pigs can carry pathogens that can find their way to humans. If a deadly virus, for example, were to emerge in transplant patients, it could spread with catastrophic consequences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It might be years or even decades before symptoms were observed, warned Christopher Bobier, a bioethicist from the Central Michigan University College of Medicine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cA potential zoonotic transference could happen at any point after a transplant \u2014 in perpetuity,\u201d he said. The risk is believed to be small, he added, \u201cbut it is not zero.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/10\/health\/pig-cloning-transplants-kidneys.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 100,000 Americans are on waiting lists for donor organs, most needing a kidney.
