The main concern is that the human cells might migrate to the developing pig's brain and make it, in some way, more human.
Pablo Ross says this is unlikely but is a key reason why the research is proceeding with such caution: "We think there is very low potential for a human brain to grow, but this is something we will be investigating."

I know at one point they were using pig hearts for transplants. One of the explanations was that the genome was similar enough, even more then monkeys if I remember correctly. I’ve always wondered if that was why God told the Jews not to eat pork, because it could lead to long term complications similar to that disease caused by canabilism.

Of course you’re right. The Jews were not supposed to keep pigs, but there were Jews tending to pigs when Jesus chased the “legion” of creatures out of the Jewish man and into a herd of pigs. Their immune systems are very similar to ours, and we can trade illnesses. Soaking living human organs in pigs and trading DNA is a death sentence. Only a matter of time before something horrid takes place.

Have you seen anything new on scaffolds? I thought that was the new upcoming tech for organ replacement.
