For the first time, surgeons successfully attached a kidney grown in a pig to a human patient

(Worthy News) – A team of New York surgeons have successfully attached a kidney that was grown in a genetically altered pig to a human patient and found that the organ functioned normally.

The success marks a scientific breakthrough that could one day yield an enormous new supply of options for ill patients in need of organs.
