A woman's body has kept a genetically modified pig kidney working for 285 days without dialysis — a new record in xenotransplantation (transplanting animal organs into humans). Would you accept such an organ if it were life-saving and there weren't enough human donors?

Új rekord a xenotranszplantációban: egy nő szervezetében 285 napja sikeresen működik egy genetikailag módosított sertésvese, dialízis nélkül. Elfogadnál egy állati szervet, ha életmentő lenne, és nem lenne elég emberi donor?

  • Yes, immediately — if it were my only chance to survive
  • Yes, but only as a bridge until a human donor becomes available
  • Only if there were more long-term safety data on it
  • No, I'd rather wait for a human donor organ, however long it takes
