surgeons have attached a pig's kidney to a human and watched it begin to work a small step in the decades long quest to one day use animal organs for life saving transplants. Pigs have been the most recent research focus to address the organ shortage, but a sugar in their cells, which is foreign to the human body, causes immediate organ rejection. The kidney for this experiment came from a gene edited animal engineered to eliminate that sugar and avoid an immune system. Attack surgeons attached to pig kidney to a pair of large blood vessels outside the body of a deceased recipient and observed it for two days. The kidney did what it was supposed to do, filter, waste and produce urine, and it did not trigger rejection.
