Xenotransplantation: When People Get Animal Parts 

Very unfortunate that it comes from animal often considered as dirty by some cultures and religions.

@@HadiTR23 why are you hatin' on me? I know. As I said, it's a shame it's from a pig.

@@HadiTR23bruh what are you saying? no ones stereotyping, sensitive over nothing

Thanks to science 🧫! I need a kidney transplant and that’s why I am here seeking information. Hopefully I get get a xenotransplant soon!

@@Lima547 Best wishes from Scotland.

@@Lima547 Best result for your health, Bro

I hope you get a new kidney and live a great life!!! And be healthy and have fun

@@Lima547 yes sir

LOL

Morec0 Depends on your preference, I prefer hiding in my shell (if you ask them nicely to make it just a little bigger you can even store snacks in it!)

Drakan R Yeah, but then you have to worry about cleaning it, making sure the snacks don't expire. With an ink pouch all you have to do is squeeze it out every once in a while so that the stuff doesn't get overly sticky and gunk you up.

Morec0 POCKET SAND

I was going to comment on the viability of an ink cloud in air as a means of concealment, but I suppose if someone I was chasing squirted a jet of black gunk out of their backside at me, I'd let them go too.

Wait, she died?

@@somebody_2837 Humans die over time. It's called aging.

@@chrismanuel9768 I thought she died of rejection of the heart valve, not aging.

I accompanied a friend to cardiology appointment, one of options doctor talked was mechanical valve too, but fecker is noisy.

this made my day...

Organ donation happens after you're dead, so no risk for you Depending on the country you live in you need to fill in a form declaring your organs may be used after your death but that's it

Tryo707 Wow, sounds cool. Why would you get that kind of transplant?

Genetic deterioration of the bone. Human bone would just get eaten away. Bovine bones aren't attacked.

Tryo707 Geez, sounds bad. At least the transplant worked.

Nick Nirus bone is dead and there is nothing in the area that can kill you instantly if you do something wrong, so i assume it's a relatively easy transplant, but i'm not an expert so i might very well be wrong.

Bone is alive

And look at your name, it begins with Xeno. A coincidence?

Yes.

Xenolilly naaaaw, it was a mirecle from gawd

***** No.

Coincidentally... no. I guess that's not a coincidence at all just a fact. Hank Green is not my Father. Cue Star wars music.

Whitney Empey since you posted your “this is what I want to do with my life” comment 4 years ago, I’m curious to know how goes the engineering studies, are you still on-track for your life goals?

Same here. I hope that it's doing okay!

Love that passion, please for the love of god don't let the politics of academia destroy it.

Charlie'sGayBand That pun was bad.

Charlie'sGayBand technically, it just lays eggs

Charlie'sGayBand I think that would be a xenoimplantation.

Charlie'sGayBand Actually, if aliens abducted you, took you to their planet, and forced you to grow crops... you would be on a xenotransplantation.

Lucian Willi *whispering* they are transgenic plants

I want to get ears and tail

Mr. Spanky and I refer you to the end of the comment and my hand, because litteraly the so called bate has no hook to speak of. Laugh all you want, I'm here for honest talk and I enjoy it either way regardless of whether Mr. Spidiot thinks avoiding responsibility but repeating a psychological issue is even comically dignified. In fact, to reference an old (and albeit out of context) phrase, I can see and smell your dirty underwear from here, coward homophobe.

Mr. Spanky Got so say this is the most condensed immaturity I have ever seen. Someone bottle him up and send him to a scientist!

Mr. Spanky If that means I am not related to you then that is just another thing going great for me today.

+Das Neko lol, amen

Steven Wills acid for blood. I WANT ACID FOR BLOOD.

Steven Wills ability to grow back adult teeth

Steven Wills because the aliens are called XenoMorphs right?

Bob Miplace not just grow back, i want my teeth te be replaced every year or so so i don't have to brush them anymore.

Huntracony That what sharks teeth do

Being a dead donor that is. Because people give organs while they're alive too. But i do want to be given away to those who need it if i die in good health. But i think most family members and loved ones deal with death bad enough that they shouldn't have to deal with the thought that the close family payed at least $1000 extra to get the poor fellow restuffed with cotton or something in the abdomen for the viewing to net disturb tbe guests. I'm not sure if it's possible to use stuff from the face or head, but for cosmetic thinhs like an ear i could imgine fir like a burn victim or sg. So the dead would be totally disfigured. I mean they won't mind now, but they'r lived ones might. That's why after they gave what they could to others from me i either wanna be cremated and spread, but my family has a tradition of putting the urnes in our family grave. There's my granma granpa, my dads ex wife, my granmas sibling i think and my sister. I feel weird about being a pot of dust sitting in a grave but tbh it might be beautiful if i can hang out with the others in the afterlife without mental illnes or diseas. I could get to know the sister i didn't get close to. My alive sister and i often eonder what her opinions would've been on certain things. So back to what i was saying either cremation or i saw a video of this thing a startup wanted to bring back. They would put the body in fetal position if possible. Put the body in a breathable sack the sack is multiple layer and in a little pouch there would be seeds sewn in. That way after they lowered you in a beautiful tree would grow above you. It is good for smaller children from your family understanding that they're visiting you. It's scary and grim for a child to be at a semetary where they most likely don't really understand. Your lived ones can come out and take care of the tree as they remember you. Sorry for getting way offtrack. So i like the idea of post motum donations.

@@juliakercsmar6587 During autopsy all the internal organs are removed and inspected by the medical examiner and then placed back inside the body or sometimes incinerated. At the funeral home, the mortician removes the viscera and places it in a plastic bag called a “viscera bag” and allows it to soak in the embalming chemical.

As far as I know we can't grow whole hearts or kidneys yet, but for simpler tissues like skin or cartilage we're already doing if for some time now. A few years ago I personally participated in a cartilage auto-grafting clinical trial that ended with a complete functional procedure being perfected. I'm just a radiologist, so my contribution was negligible, but the clinical team is using this procedure to heal joint injuries ever since, with over 90% success rates. The only real problem remaining is the cost, even if it's cheaper than allo-grafting (transplants), auto-grafting is still pretty expansive compared to most classic alternatives.

Have they refined this treatment enough for it to be used on a regular basis for such terrible injuries? Burns are some of the hardest things to treat since the scaffolding is destroyed along with the skin cells and the risk of infection is huge. That's not to mention the terrible pain involved in the very lengthy healing process. I'd love to know more.

Silent Joe Shit, that sounds hype! It would probably require a lot of body alteration to fly, though.

Silent Joe They'd need pectoral muscles the size of their torso and hollow bones. Doesn't sound like such a good idea to me.

Big wings needed

MrCakepuff Uh, why not?

Nick Nirus Do you see any six-limbed vertebrates around?

***** Even with wings (big ass ones you'd need) you'd need the stamina, the new muscle tissue etc to use them. Then you'd need Stabilizers on your feet to keep you stable and control your pitch in flight, so you'd end up looking like this hideous massive human being with a 30 foot wing span that weighs over 100lbs and has muscle bulging from everywhere and winglets hanging off your legs/feet. Or you could just get 2 little wings thrown on for visuals.

Samuel Stormont You assume that English is the OP's native language? I think that Breyana1313 found a better and more polite way to comment on the troll's error.

You need to go to an ISLAND to clear your mind

Or we just clone the individual organs and save the trouble?

killerklipz awesome movie indeed, I see what you did there (now if only I could remember the name).

How about no because thats a crime against humanity, the island sucked anyway

I liked The Island, it reminded me of Logan's Run.

yessss!

Lemony Tail would probably get in the way a lot and make you unbalanced.

we already have a tailbone, but why no tail?

it was an add-on to the comment i already knew that, but thank you. (it was more of a rhetorical question)

I can think of plenty of uses for a tail so idk. Wings would be nice, but unfortunately as primates we aren't built for flying.

Vegans...

lol same here

Wyverngamer have you read the other comments yet? they're already here

Freezing Blue im not finding any

Wyverngamer Jason Klein 3 hours ago I am 100% Against this. Genetically engineering pigs and slaughtering them for their heart? This is extremely sickening and masochistic to me, I would want nothing to do with this. I don't value my life as any more precious than any other animal's.

My sister is vegan and when my dad got his velvet from a pig, she preferred it to her father during when she was just 18

rannick10 I am, thank you. :3 I wouldn't even want them for furry reasons, I just think cat ears and tails are like the cutest thing ever, and having a tail would be great.

rannick10 Aaannd, what's the problem about not being a girl?

gustavo17pacheco I thought the same thing, actually. It's a little sexist to say boys can't have cat ears/cat tails or whatever. I personally think guys would look cute with them too. :3

HIV to the rescue!

joseph clisham More like AIDS to the rescue.

Yes because they killed and harvested the part from a human. It doesn't matter where it came from before that; a human is dead and part of them had been eaten.

Danny O'keefe all i hear is bitching and whining

Freezing Blue Ditto most human lives are worth more than animals specially the two legged kind.

Danny O'keefe Sometimes the well being of many humans outweigh the death of a few animals. Its sad, but that is the reality in which we live. Besides, what other species on the planet has the potential to save life on earth and transplant it to other planets to ensure its continuation? To me, that is the ultimate goal humanity should be striving for. At least for now.

Danny O'keefe You have to ask yourself the question. If you or a loved one developed a fatal illness that could be cured by a drug or treatment that was developed through animal testing, would you refuse the medication and let the ill person die? If you would take the treatment, then you justify animal testing. I'm not saying either choice is right or wrong, but when the decision is made personal, most people will accept the cost of medical experimentation on animals to prolong the life of a loved one.

Bob MiLaplace your comment is like Animal Farm but reversed (4 legs or wings = friend).

That is definitely possible but there might be other factors involved. Not all health problems are because of diet. There might be genetics, behavior and environmental causes for disease.

Jason Klein are you aware this isn't tumblr?

Well I don't care, if we weren't better than pigs we wouldn't be able to do it but we are.

Ethanwhitby123 Yes, dismiss a different opinion as tumblr instead of with a cogent rebuttal.

do you eat meat?

I assume you have a better way to deal with shortage of organs then

Really? I googled that and couldn’t find anything at all.
