News-Better pigs for transplants

["Tebay, Wendy M" <wendy.m.tebay@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm probably going contrary to common opinion (what's new), but somehow the
thought of pig cells in my brain really turns me off.  I respect the courage
of those who are exploring this form of treatment for themselves and wish
them the best truly, but I honestly don't think that that's the path for me.
If I'm gonna have cells transplanted into my brain, particularly my brain vs
other body parts, then I want them to be human ones.  Personal bias.  Maybe
a few years down the line, this disease will convince me to change my
opinion, however, at the present time, I  want to keep my brain all human.
I have enough off the wall thoughts as it is, without thinking from a pig's
perspective!
