I'd say don't worry about it. I can say some pretty weird things when tired as well.

That's not what I'm worried about, knowing I might have inadvertently angered or otherwise cause animosity was not my intent with what I said :( *sigh* Dammit all..

at least ur man enough to apologize. some people would rather stick by something they don't really believe in rather than apologize.

Now to apologize to @DinohScene for being tactless; ugh, there's so much going on in the science/medical field lately that I can't keep up.
 
I don't how to feel about this.
I don't wanna see a "The Island" - esque scenario with pigs instead of humans. On the other hand I've been called a libtard SJW so I guess my opinion isn't valid anyway
 
I love me some science.

Also, for those who weren't taught biology terribly deeply, there is no "human gene" so much as there's a "gene that's in humans". We share a good 50% of our genes with bananas, for example. The genes we share are neither "human genes" or "banana genes", just genes that are in humans and bananas.

So when you take genes from one organism to another, it doesn't really mean much at all. We're adding features or turning features off, essentially. It's not randomly adding huge chunks of "we dunno what this stuff does, let's hope it does what we want". It's more "we know exactly what this one bit of stuff does, let's hope it works like we're hoping it will".

So yes, it's growing organs with human DNA, but it's probably more accurate to think of it as changing different parts of the pig's organs to be compatible with a specific human's DNA (which already has most of the genes we have).

Finally, some great news. I cannot wait till it actually gets approved after careful research. Being aple to regrow organs to save lives will help solve a lot of terminal diseases, and could even help in fighting cancer by replacing the organ affected by it with a new one.

What I fear though, is whether the body will be able to take it, as rejection is highly probable.
