Blaze: A New Jersey woman is alive and improving after undergoing experimental transplant surgery involving a kidney from a genetically modified pig.
Earlier this month, Lisa Pisano — a 54-year-old grandmother from Cookstown, New Jersey, about 20 miles southeast of Trenton — was practically on death’s doorstep. She was in desperate need of a kidney transplant, but antibodies in her tissues made finding a match nearly impossible.
She was also in heart failure, but because she was on dialysis, doctors hesitated to implant a heart pump known as a left ventricular assist device because of the high mortality rates for dialysis patients undergoing that kind of procedure.
Miserable and seemingly out of options, Pisano suddenly received a message of hope from Dr. Robert Montgomery, the director of NYU Langone Transplant Institute. Montgomery and his team offered to perform two separate procedures that, if successful, would at least buy Pisano some more time with her loved ones. more
She had better stay away from the Muzzies.
PETA will be pissed, which makes me smile.
Is this what we call pigender affirming care?
mud-slimes will probably stay away from her
“That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.”
Doctors are impressed with her speedy recovery, she’s already up out of bed and rooting through the garbage.
@Cynic, 😂
“After the pig kidney was implanted in Pisano, it began producing urine almost immediately, causing doctors and nurses to erupt in cheers right there in the operating room.”
They’ve come a long ways with organ transplants, also with care of premature infants.
So how is Hillary doing after her donation?
Friend of mine is alive today because someone, somewhere, figured out how to transplant a valve from a cow’s heart into his.
Glory to God for inspiring such work.
Not a bit riskier than taking the covid vax.
Amen, SNS. This is amazing. I hope her health improves quickly and her post-transplant path is smooth. ❤️
Getting people to cheer for urine?
That’s OUR job!!!
Just don’t yell sooey around her. Here, pig pig pig!
@Mr. Liberty
Nobody in his/her right mind would accept an overworked and poisoned kidney from the likes of Hillary Clinton. I’d just as soon die with my own kidney.
What did they do with the rest of the pig?
Scrapple anyone?
(PS – I love scrapple)
