In the United States, the hearts of genetically modified pigs are being transplanted into humans.
The success of the first such operation is reported by The New York Times. It lasted a total of 8 hours.
The patient was 57-year-old US resident David Bennett. Currently, doctors assess his condition as good. It is indicated that the transplanted heart of a GMO pig began to function, taking on a significant part of the work on blood circulation.

As the newspaper explains, the man agreed to a heart transplant of a modified animal forcibly, since he was on the verge of death. ..
