https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-58993696US surgeons say they have successfully given a pig's kidney to a person in a transplant breakthrough they hope could ultimately solve donor organ shortages.
The recipient was brain-dead, meaning they were already on artificial life support with no prospect of recovering.
The kidney came from a pig that had been genetically modified to stop the organ being recognised by the body as "foreign" and being rejected.
The work is not yet peer-reviewed or published but there are plans for this.
Or maybe it is kosher, I dunno. Do you think the threat to life exception to kosher rules would allow for this for a jew?
I think it would fit with the rule about threat to life, making it kosher.
