US surgeons implant genetically altered pig kidneys in a brain-dead patient – Engadget

A group of surgeons from the University of Alabama at Birmingham has proven that it's possible to genetically alter a pig so that its kidneys can be used on human transplant patients. The doctors have transplanted kidneys from a genetically altered pig into the abdomen of a brain-dead man, and as The New York Times has reported, the procedure was described in a paper published in the American Journal of Transplantation.  According to the doctors, the kidneys from the pig started producing urine as soon as 23 minutes after the procedure and continued to do so for three days.

Host Ellen DeGeneres categorized it as a "lie," but Stewart revealed that it was indeed true. Stewa...
