Genetically modified pig kidneys transplanted into a brain-dead person

“The organ shortage is in fact an unmitigated crisis and we've never had a real solution to it,” said Dr. Jayme Locke of the University of Alabama at Birmingham said. Thousands die every year before getting an organ and thousands more never even get added to the list. Animal-to-human transplants, what's called xenotransplantation, have been attempted without success for decades.
