If you are going to serve up pig for dinner, I see little difference in
herding a few together and messing with their genetic material so that
humans can have pig-hearts. Ultimately, is this a good idea? Probably not,
but at this stage of our medical know-how it's a good step provided that no
nasties are transferred from the piggies to the humans.

This is the big question for me.
