One month after an experimental procedure to transplant the heart of a genetically modified pig into a patient with end-stage heart disease, doctors say the heart is functioning on its own and shows no signs of rejection.
As an American, I already know the cost of this procedure is going to be in the millions. Insurance companies will moan and cry about experimental treatments not covered for at least a decade.
Only the rich and powerful will be paying out of pocket to extend their lives with genetically modified pig hearts.
