These stats are from 2001 (couldn't find any current stuff) but I thought it was interesting:
"Last year alone, 147 Canadians died while waiting for organs that never came because suitable donors were not found in time. Part of the problem lies with Canada having one of the lowest organ donation rates among industrialised nations. There are fewer than 14 donors per million people in this country, as compared with more than 31 in Spain. What's more, the gap between transplant patients on waiting lists and numbers of available organs is widening."
Are you an organ donor?

So... it's been... what, like a year that I've had this signature? Did anyone get that it says: I hear, I see, I learn? :(
that is wrong. I didn't read it all, but what i understood from what i did was that the testing was for testing sakes.
Poor thing

What about genetically altering humans and animals so to reduce the possibility of organ rejection?
Aaaaaaaaaaand xenotransplantation also means risk of viruses breaking the species barrier. We already have plenty of those: mad-cow, HIV, ebola, bird flu, etc. Is it fair to put others at risk?

Then it's survival of the fittest at it's best! i say keep testing!!

Oh and does it suck that thousands of monkeys, chimpanzees and baboons (I hate baboons) have been experimented on and killed in the course of this cross-species transplant research? I think yes.
Yes, but what if they didn't test? or had nothing to test it on? we would have probably been extinct long ago. I don't know. But one thing i do know, is that i'm all for science.

Oh yeah... the pig boobs. Well, it seems that they use pig skin or tissue or something (sorry, I can't find the stupid page where I read it anymore) but they use some kind of pig stuff for breast implants to reduce the risk of muscle hardening around the implants or something something along those lines. Ok, as much as I wouldn't go for this kind of procedure (xenotransplantation not senotransplantation), I think that in a life or death matter situation I wouldn't condemn it but when it's for the sake of "beauty" PHOOEY!

Instead of dying if i didn't? I'd probably take it. They'd be even cheaper.

Sharpe, Lesley A.: Strange Harvest, organ transplants, denatured bodies and the transformed self, University of California Press, 2006
as for whether I'd do it or not... you see, it was not that long ago that many of us might have found human in vitro fertilisation quite a bit off the mark. You know, concerns about body pollution, donor identity... This was particularly the case because back then there weren't nearly as good biotechnological tools for assesing the usability of donated sperm, so we don't worry and the pollution concern is also gone.
I am aware we're not talking about the same thing, but what I'm trying to say is, time changes the way we perceive what's around us. With people already receiving, and in not small numbers, say, heart valves from pigs -and for what it looks, they work- it might not take too long before we get used to the "oh sure, we could get you a liver from a pig" line will become more and more normalized.
So I might just find myself saying yes. Who knows.
Hell yeah!!! I'd put a pig's tail on my forehead if it meant the difference between life and death!
BTW, watchu mean "when you're time is up, it's up"? so you would take no type of medical treatment, if your "time is up"? aren't MANY animals ALREADY being sacrificed to save our lives? (research, etc)... What's the diff?!.... yo
BTWII: I thought this thread was about boobie transplants (you know... as in "seno")

Foro chismosos I did not see it. I just heard about it. It was difficult for PL to talk about it, but PL got the Hampster peen from a very generous Foro member.

I remember reading that they use pigs to study the stages of decomposition because they're very similar.
well, u have to say that now that u have un pico

I have to say what now???
Anyway, I just got off the phone with my mom and she called you some not so nice words which was quite funny cause I find when Colombians swear to be hilarious.

I'll post more on the matter later because I have to research it for class anyway. It's sooooooooooo interesting but it raises so many issues. Anyway, gotta go for now. But I think I'd chose death. When your number is up, it's up. I wouldn't want to sacrife an animal's life for mine.

Gringa Lahtina wrote: Xenotransplantation is the transplantation of living cells, tissues or organs from one species to another such as from pigs to humans.
Because there is a worldwide shortage of organs for clinical transplantation about 60% of patients needing new organs die on the waiting list. To address this shortage, scientists and biotechnology companies are developing an alternative source of organs: animals. Primates such as baboons or chimpanzees are poor candidates as organ donors not only because they are an endangered species but because they harbor viruses (such as HIV) that may cause disease in humans. Most attention is focused on using a strain of mini-pigs developed over 30 years ago as organ donors. These pigs have major organs that are about the size of those of adult humans and have a similar physiology.
While researching this topic, I found out that pig skin is actually used (transplanted) to treat burn victims because the pig's skin is similar to human skin. Anyway, there's a lot more on the subject but I thought I'd spare yuz the reading but my question to you is...
WOULD YOU ACCEPT AN ORGAN FROM AN ANIMAL?
ask PJ, he got a wee-wee from a hamster

If you're referring to Pajaro Loco, it's PL, brodah! Didn't you get the memo the first 15 times? Apparently they used another part from the same hamster to transplant to YOU... it's BRAIN! and that must have been a very DUMB hamster with a very large penis!
sorry PJ not buying it.......that thing u call a "large penis" is not ur penis, is ur finger holding ur small wee-wee

Head. About. To. Explode. so. many. disses. so. little. time.
ok.. so when I first read the thread name, I thought you were going to preach about the wonders of Xenu and Scientology but alas, you have posted an interesting topic about animal transplants instead.
So to answer your question, I don't know. I don't think so but what if I was about to die and my choices were death or a pig's heart. I don't think I'd be choosing death and for as much jokes as Foro peeps will probably respond to that, the truth of the matter is, when faced with death, one would go to extreme measures in order to preserve life.
