A team of scientists says it has created a pig that can be used in transplantations in humans.

According to the team, which includes researchers from Meiji University and Kyoto Prefectural University, the animal is the first to be developed for transplantation based on national guidelines for xenotransplantation, in which animal organs and cells are transplanted into humans.

The team will present its findings at a forum of the Japanese Society for Xenotransplantation in Suita, Osaka Prefecture, on Saturday, and plans to jointly supply the pigs with a private company early next year.

This will offend the professional Muslims and their sponsors in the democrat-socialist-communist-racist party.

Organs for use
Extra ham, bacon and pulled pork to kill those organs

Works for me!

I was trying to figure out the best way to say that, and you beat me to it!

...This will offend the professional Muslims

Well, if they don’t want the transplants,
Life on dialysis is miserable,
Life without a liver is short,
Life without Lungs or heart is terminal

Jehovah’s Witnesses have a similar problem

IIRC pigs are ok as a transplant source for Jews, only eating them is prohibited. For the JW’s the problem wouldn’t be the pork but the need for transfusions to survive the procedures.

Since liberals think we descended from apes, why not use them? Apes I mean.

From the article:

The National Center for Global Health and Medicine in Tokyo and other institutions plan to begin clinical studies within three to five years in which pig pancreatic cells will be transplanted to diabetic patients. The cells will be encased in special capsules to prevent rejection by the patient.

Eat more pork? Muslims be damned.

Heart valves from pigs were being transplanted into humans 35 years ago or more.

This is good, but muzzies will be $hitting on their left hands over this, because they won’t be able to use it.

But, if you only develop one style of apps, what are the Mac users going to do?
They always need a different plug, ya know.

[SkyDancer]

Apes, not apps. No Mac’s involved or needed.
