Doctor: Your heart is too badly damaged to be repaired. You need a transplant. Vegan: I don't like to kill animals. Can you get me a heart from a tree? Doctor: Um...

While I agree with you, I don't really see much difference between using the pig's kidney in medicine, or eating it, or putting it in scrapple.

All kinds of moral and ethical questions are raised by this new technology. Yes. Some people will want it, some will not want it, and some will want no one to have it. If we eat animals (and I do) then this is no worse.

I don't eat pork but support efforts to keep a human alive - even if it means this. Will admit that I've given this moral dilemma a lot of thought. The truth is, I would take the kidney if it meant my life would be saved.

Nope - it would become human. Oink! If you say so. Nope, it's true. At the point of functioning, said kidney will be used to cleanse human waste from blood and other stuff. Thus, it becomes human!

I have a cow valve in my heart and aside from browsing on the neighbors lawn while walking the dog in the morning I'm fine. If a pig's heart can save a life his belly can feed a charity. Their heart valves have been used for years in heart surgery anyway. Besides, the industrial conditions these poor animals are raised in are far more pressing to deal with.
