Last year, University of Maryland surgeons made history by transplanting a gene-edited pig heart into a dying man who was out of other options. He survived only two months before the organ failed for reasons that aren't fully understood but that offer lessons for future attempts. Now, the Food and Drug Administration is considering whether to allow some small but rigorous studies of pig heart or kidney transplants in volunteer patients.

I respect that standpoint, but I'm having porkchops for lunch. I would definitely kill an animal to extend my own life I do it without needing to every time I eat meat.

I do very much respect your stance on that though, if you choose not to harm animals for selfish reasons that's noble, but you can't expect that of others.

At the end of the day we are animals too, and the animal kingdom is fucking cruel.
