Ban organ transplants from other species. Humans can do better than stealing pig hearts.


Ban organ transplants from other species. Humans can do better than stealing pig hearts.
The Issue
Ban organ transplants from other species. Humans can do better than stealing pig hearts.
We want our government to ban xenotransplants, organ transplants between different species.
"The genetic DNA similarity between pigs and human beings is 98%. Interspecies organ transplant activities between humans and pigs have even taken place, called xenotransplants."
"WATCHDOG GROUPS ARE CONCERNED that the growing practice of transplanting organs from animals to humans could dramatically accelerate the spread of infectious disease."
We are still going through a pandemic, Covid19, and variants, a result of animal exploitation.
We have advanced enough science and technology to make organs in labs and resources, doctors to keep humans healthy, to begin with.
We want science that uses alternative humane methods and to stop using animals.
We don't want science that sees animals as things, products, or organ-producing machines.
We are almost identical to pigs.
A baby pig didn't deserve her/his heart ripped out.
She or he was killed to let a human with money and privilege live.
It's unacceptable.
They say thousands are on the waitlist if this succeeds!
- It's well known that plant-based foods help with heart disease and many others.
- There are doctors from all over the world recommending plant diets, eliminating animal products.
- There are countless studies done on how plant-based foods improve our health and keep us healthy.
- Rather than changing humans' diets to whole plant-foods, making their living conditions better, they are killing innocent sentient beings.
Using animals is cruel, unnecessary and it poses a risk of starting new diseases, pandemics, unknown future problems to the human body.
"Animal organ transplants, or xenotransplants, are extremely rare and can have significant risks to patients as well as bioethical concerns. Pig hearts have been long been seen as possible for transplantation for the human heart due to many similarities, and pig heart valves are used for humans in many cases."
'Porcine (pig) heart transplants aren’t approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.'
'In 2016, they reported that pig hearts could remain healthy for more than 2 years when transplanted into a baboon's abdomen, and have since done transplants into baboons’ chests, where the hearts sustain life. In recent experiments, baboons relying on Revivicor’s pig hearts survived up to 9 months, Mohiuddin says. Those primates died with functioning hearts after contracting lung infections.'
We can do better than abusing animals and stealing their organs.
Pigs deserve to live just like humans.
This cruel practice brings more harm than good.
