I am surprised that you are still here chitzit............being so bored and all ...........

Didn't they put human genes into Pigs some time back ? Same as they put Flounder genes into Tomatoes--to make them grow in colder climates--I personally thing they are going too far with doing this sort of thing IMO

I think so PlanB or was it parts of a pig heart into a human?



I think I will put my foot (or trotter) down when it comes to head transplants.LOL

Yes they often do a pig type heart transplant--have been for ages--but they did put human genes into Pigs and also into Chooks--makes you a bit reluctant to eat them when they have done this. There was also some fear that because of this diseases would be more easily transfered from pigs to humans?
