Has anyone read the article in "NewScientist" magazine about xeno organs? It was just saying that in the near future, a person in need of a heart transplant could be offered a pigs organ. I guess there was a group of people who met in China to talk about certain global guidelines in regards to the first clinical trials of xenotransplants. Is there a short supply of human organs or something, because I can't see how this would be possible. It just seems like they would have to make a lot of genetic changes to prevent the organs from being attacked/rejected as foreign by the immune system. I thought it was a great article though.
