Every eight hours a person waiting for a transplant dies in the U.S. because a human organ is not available. Last week I criticized Christians. The ones who refuse to donate an organ because they believe a person's body should be intact at burial. I suggested that Ministers remind their congregations that you can still enter the Pearly Gates minus a heart or kidney.
Molecular engineering has solved acute rejection, but not chronic rejection. This can occur months or years later. Now Dr. White is using the same immunosuppressant drugs used in humans such as "Neoral" to fight chronic rejection of the pig's organ.
