Without
a windy discussion with who, where, when, how and why elements, my executive
briefing of an article I read last week is how a recent study indicates we may
be one step closer to using animals as organ donors for humans in need.
One
article’s headline was that gene editing could make pig-to-human organ
transplants a reality.
An
ailing middle-aged man with health problems could clearly be a human in need so
the gracefully-aging prospects of this gene editing exploration leave much to
my imagination and inquisitiveness.
Questions
abound the more thought I give to this future reality.
If
a middle-aged man one day receives a pig-donor gut transplant, is it possible
he may no longer desire to devour a king-sized rack of baby back barbeque ribs to
take the edge off his middle-aged man hunger?
Might
it make him shout how there’ll be no pork on his fork?
Pax
Domini sit semper vobiscum
