Noise #141: Pig kidney, human patient
A first-of-its kind organ transplant succeeds.
Today’s New York Times reports that a pig kidney has been successfully transplanted into a human patient for the first time in history.
“Organs from genetically engineered pigs one day may make dialysis obsolete,” the article says.
What a strange, fascinating time to be alive.
I hope you enjoy Noise #141, which channels the wonder and weirdness of this scientific leap—and the feeling of a world spinning faster and faster.
Wishing you peace,
Michael
