human organ transplantsABC News

Some of the world's cleanest pigs are being raised in the Virginia mountains to supply kidneys and hearts for animal-to-human organ transplants.
The first gene-edited pig organs ever transplanted into people came from animals born on a special research farm.
The biosecurity gets even tighter just a few miles away in Christiansburg , Virginia .
The company's first modified pig, the GalSafe single gene knockout, now is bred instead of cloned.
It will take years of clinical trials to prove whether xenotransplantation really could work.
About 300 pigs of different ages live on this farm, nestled in rolling hills, its exact location undisclosed for security reasons.
The field is at a point where multiple kinds of studies “are telling us that there’s no train wrecks”.
