I don’t think you’d want to eat severely genetically modified pigs though. Who know what kinds of viruses can make the jump to humans in a chimera like that. Ideally those pigs would be kept in some kind of sterile biohazard location and their bodies would ideally be incinerated afterwards.
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoDo we also do that to the organ recipient?
- huytersd 3y agoWell the organ recipient’s body is now an incubation chamber for pig human virus crossovers. But it’s a human, so we deal with the risks. Hopefully he doesn’t deal with a lot of pigs on a daily basis.
