Canadian Sheila Annette Lewis was denied a lifesaving organ transplant because she refused Covid vaccines and she has now died. She was literally next in line to receive the vital transplant she needed to survive, but doctors refused to perform the transplant after Covid vaccine mandates were enacted.
Scientists at Stanford University grew embryos containing both sheep and human cells, creating a human-sheep hybrid, paving the way for organs to be grown in animals for transplant in humans. The next step is to implant human stem cells into sheep embryos which have been genetically modified so they cannot grow a pancreas, in the hope that human DNA will fill in the missing code. Critics warn that humans will likely reject the organs because the blood vessels will be sheep-derived, which will trigger the immune system to reject the organ.
For many years, some members of the scientific community have been absolutely engrossed in trying to solve one of the biggest health conundrums in the United States: how to get more people to donate their organs. And if that can’t happen on a grand scale, well, scientists are turning to cloned pigs for organs.
