Baheula di lembur, aya papatah. cenah lamun meresihan sumur nu geus lila teu
dipake, pangpangna nu jero, kudu dicobaan heula ku hayam hirup. Talian terus
asupkeun kana jero sumur. Lamun hayamna masih hirup, eta sumur aman lamun
rek dibersihkeun/ dijeroan. Tapi lamun hayamna paeh, ulah wani-wani asup ka
sumur.

Duka sadar, duka henteu, batur salembur kuring geus nyieun kacindekan yen
sato teh teu pati jauh jeung manusa. Manusa sabenerna mah nganggap sato teh
teu pati jauh ti maranehna. Lamun nyieun ubar, nya dicobakeun heula ka sato,
lamun nyieun tindakan medis jiga transfusi darah, oge hasil sanggeus nyobaan
heula ka sato. Sanggeus boga pangalaman ka sato kakara dipraktekeun ka
manusa.

Tah nu leuwih "parah" deui mah, kumaha lamun organ awak sato di transplatasi
ka manusa? Dihandap ieu aya riwayat kumaha dunya kedokteran hayang
ngamanfaatkeun organ sato, tapi lain didahar, ieu mah ditransplatasi ka
manusa. Jantung jeung ginjal Chimpansee jeung babun (dua-duana bangsa
monyet, sarua jeung manusa) kungsi "dipasangkeun" ka manusa. Teu hasil
memang, ngan kungsi aya nu hirup tepi ka 20 poe (jantung) jeung 98 poe
(ginjal). Lain wae "bangsa monyet" dalah organ babi oge dicobaan, lumayan
hirup sanajan sakeudeung ...

The history of xenotransplantation

Transplants of organs and tissue from animals to humans have a long history
but it was not until the 1960s that they moved from simple trial and error
to systematic scientific study.

At that time, donor organs were not available and the use of animal organs
seemed promising.

Hopes were raised further in 1972 with the introduction of cyclosporin, a
powerful drug that minimises the rejection of foreign tissue. Until 1992,
organs generally came from chimpanzees or baboons, but in that year a pig
liver was used to help a patient survive whilst a human liver was found.

Chimps: Close relatives of humans

In 1995, the first genetically-altered animal organs were used. The pig
livers were designed to be less prone to attack by the human body and were
attached to patient's circulation but kept outside their body.
So far no animal to human transplant of a whole organ can be considered
successful.

1682: Bone from a dog was used to repair the skull of an injured Russian
aristocrat. The operation was reportedly a success but angered the church.

1963-4: Baboon kidneys were grafted into six patients by transplant pioneer
Thomas Starzl in Denver, US. The patients survived between 19 and 98 days.

1963-4: Chimpanzee kidneys were transplanted into 12 patients in New
Orleans, US. Most failed within two months but one recipient survived for
nine months with no sign of rejection.

1964: A 68-year-old man received a chimpanzee heart in Jackson, US, but only
survived for two hours.

}1969-1974: Three children received chimpanzee livers but only survived
between one and 14 days.

Baboons: Less expensive to rear than chimps

1977: A 25-year-old woman had a baboon heart transplanted in Capetown, South
Africa, and a moderate circulation was maintained but only for six hours
before acute rejection. The same group also used a chimpanzee heart to
assist the heart of a 60-year-old man. But despite high doses of
immunosupressant drugs the patient died after four days.

1984: The Baby Fae case: A newborn baby received a baboon heart in
California. Cyclosporine was used and she lived for 20 days.

1992: A four-drug cocktail assisted a baboon liver transplant. The patient
died of a brain haemorrhage after 71 days. The type of rejection typical in
cross-species transplantation was not seen.

1992: A pig liver was implanted next to patient's own liver to buy time for
a human organ to be found but the patient died after 32 hours.

1993: Baboon bone marrow and kidney transplant carried out in Pittsburgh, US
with same drug cocktail used as in 1992 case. However, the patient's
suppressed immune system succumbs to infection after 26 days.
