🚨 NEED A KIDNEY? TRY A PIG.

The F.D.A. just approved clinical trials to transplant genetically modified pig kidneys into humans—because the U.S. organ shortage is that bad.

Over 550,000 Americans have kidney failure, 100,000 are on the transplant waitlist, and only 25,000 get a kidney each year.

Desperate times, meet biotech solutions: pigs with up to 69 gene edits to make their organs human-friendly.

It’s a medical breakthrough—but also a wild bet on cross-species surgery with unknown long-term risks.

What could possibly go wrong?
