MERCI COCHON!!

Thank You Pig!!?

Animals have been catering to human needs since the beginning of time. Now, they can be helpful in saving human lives as well for which we should be thankful.

Recently, a 57-year-old man with life-threatening heart disease received a heart from a genetically modified pig. This is a groundbreaking procedure that offers hope to thousands of patients with failing organs.?

According to the sources, this? innovative 8-hour surgery took place in Baltimore on David Bennet? Sr. of Maryland. The surgeon who performed this surgery, Dr. Bartley Griffith, said, “It creates the pulse, it creates the pressure, it is his heart”.

There is an acute shortage of donor organs leading to multiple deaths each year. Some 3,817 Americans received human donor hearts last year as replacements, more than ever before, but the potential demand is still higher.?

With the introduction of innovative medicine and solutions, we might just be able to solve the issue of shortage of organ donors and open the gate for future medical advances.

Here is an article from the NewYork Times which gives an insight on this historical procedure.
