We got this email on the topic of pig organs.
M Yes, remember the awe inspiring story of a doctors
scientists who had planted a pig kidney in a gentleman
who was deceased. But it is functioned. I'm sorry, he's
brained in. Brought him back to was on life support
(00:20):
now we didn't. But it's functioned normally without rejection for
a month now, which is thinking could be a huge
breakthrough because it was a seventeen people a day die
waiting for kidneys something like that. It's a heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Number and they're calling them Pigney's and they could change everything,
which not.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
You are nobody else's anyway, Sean writes, guys, speaking of
pig organs, every time I eat fried chicken, I wonder
if any of the parts belong together at one point,
So Sean, when he eats fried chicken, wonders, I wonder
if this leg and that wing came from the same chicken.
I have never, for a single second in my life,
(00:59):
even thought of that.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
No, no, no, I have not, And it's it's interesting
to me that that pops into his head.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, yeah, it's the old bromides the most terrifying thing
you could ever do is spend five minutes inside somebody
else's mind. Uh, but that's just a setup to his question.
So if one day I get a pig organ, I'd
like to find some way to know I wasn't eating
the rest of the Brave Lad in the future.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Like you have a b LT and you think, Wow,
this doesn't seem.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Right oddly familiar. I wonder why, And that's the very
hog who donated his kidney to you. That would that
would that would make me unhappy.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well, if you didn't want to donate your organs to us,
you shouldn't have been so delicious.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Wow, Okay, another way to look at it.
