Ethical Medical issues around the World

[Queen K]

Nevermind Canada's MAID program, it's not new so much as very Old World aka European.

In Japan there is a start up company breeding pigs for the sole (soul?) purpose of creating organs suitable for human transplants. It's been done before, pig organ transplant to humans, but not bred for the only purpose of. I get it, the greying of Japan, Europe, North America is bringing desparate wealthy people to the surgical table looking to stall the Grim Reaper.

Enter Frankenpig. PorMedTec may be the next shares to invest in.

Japanese startup PorMedTec announced on Tuesday that it has produced three clone piglets that have organs that can be transplanted to humans with less risk of immune rejection, paving the way for future cross-species organ transplants.
The piglets, which were born Sunday using cells imported from U.S biotech startup eGenesis, will be provided to medical institutions in Japan for pre-clinical research, the firm said.

It’s happening in other countries. Nothing wrong with more bacon.

I'm ok with this. My cousin wouldn't be alive if she didn't have a pig valve installed in her heart.

They only want internal organs, to can most certainly have the bacon.
