What is unethical about this?
I am not personally saying it is or isn’t but you know with these kind of things such discussions always prop up
It's a genetically modified pig heart. I presume the ethics would come into how they got to that point and what happened to the pig?
2 slices of white bread and some ketchup.
I hate to break it to you but I don’t think the pig survived. At the end of the day it’s heart just wasn’t in it.
Are you trying to trigger half the Caf by dredging up suppressed memories of that bacon sandwich thread?
Well you definitely are
We slaughter more than a billion pigs for food every year. Slaughtering a few more, for infinitely better reasons, is not the end of the world.
I'm not overly bothered I was just answering the question. That's where I see the ethical concern being: to do with the pigs treatment, potential suffering etc. I mean there are already ethical concerns about the treatment of pigs prior to their slaughter for meat.
Ooh. Yours is better. Damn.
If you are in the US, you have the right to bear arms.
I think both are beautiful.Nothing. But PETA will see that a pig has been bred, genetically engineered and grown up solely to be harvested for its organs. They wont like it.
Nice
A doctor told me he once did a transplant with the heart of a baby goat. I think he was kidding.
There is a reason that pig hearts are used for studying human hearts as they are quite similar in size, structure and shape. Not sure if a sheep's heart is as similar.
I don't know, he was an accessory to murder so not sure if the heart thing was a good call.
It was tongue in cheek. I'm not even religious.
Aren’t pigs close to us DNA-wise or does that not matter in instances like this?
