Are they counting all pig organ transplants or just pig kidney transplants because I have some parts I would like to add

What a selfless pig, donating one of its kidneys.

wild. hope this one proves more successful in the long term than the previous attempts.

Past attempts were, technically, successful. The problem with the patients was that they were already on the edge of death. A new human kidney might not have saved them either.

Not that these things don’t still need some work, which is why they’re still experimental.

Please don't bring pigs down to their level.

Pigs are awesome, and delicious! Clearly better than us.

I hear long pork is delicious too so I'm not sure they win that round (having only eaten the regular pork)

I don't know, I've seen people and they don't look delicious.
