- mytailorisrich 7y agoWell exactly. If we are fine breeding so many for meat, breeding a few more to cure serious illnesses or even to save lives should not raise problems in public opinion.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoPerhaps even further than that! It may make humanity realize that, just as oil is too valuable to burn, pigs are too valuable to use for bacon instead of life saving medical treatments.
- jkahrs595 7y agoI hope you're right.
- lonelappde 7y agoThere isn't a meaning limit on the number of pigs that can be raised, unfortunately.
- munificent 7y agoWell, if you have to slaughter the pig to remove its human pancreas for transplant anyway, the ethical thing to do is extract as much value as you can by also using its delicious, delicious meat. (Which hopefully does not contain too many migrated human cells.)

- JoeSamoa 7y agoThis, but honestly I think to avoid any chance of something like prions we should just avoid genetically altered pigs for edible consumption altogether and stick to naturally bred pigs.
- jessaustin 7y agoYeah dog owners are on a real meat kick now so the meat will still have an important use. Dogs don't mind eating something that's 1% (or any other percentage, really) human.
- mrfusion 7y agoThat’s getting close to cannabalism. Especially if some Human cells start circulating around its bloodstream.
