"Wednesday’s breakthrough began with the transfer of a #PigKidney into the body of Maurice “Mo” Miller, a man who had died suddenly at the age of 57 and whose body was donated to science by his family... The pig kidney had been genetically modified to omit a gene that produces biomolecules that human #ImmuneSystems attack and reject." #OrganTransplants

First published @DiscoverMag, 1988, this story of a day in the life of the person who has to ask families for permission for organs after an abrupt death grew out of my 1982 master's thesis on the future of #organtransplants at @columbiajourn. 2/
New liver transplant rules yield winners, losers as wasted organs reach record high After more than three years on the transplant list, Gray had gotten so weak he had to take a break while walking the eight feet from his recliner to the kitchen.

A proposed law in Massachusetts would coerce prisoners to donate organs for transplant. Please, if you live in Mass., write to your legislators and tell them to oppose it.
Some details, and a model letter to the legislature: https://redbird.dreamwidth.org/3040619.html
