Xenotransplantation — Engineered Pig Organs
mechanismBiotech & Transhumanism
Doctors are now putting gene-edited pig organs into living people, turning the animal body into a spare-parts supply.
Who they are
Xenotransplantation, the transplanting of gene-edited pig organs into living humans.
What they do
It is a real and advancing medical practice treated by the engine as the animal body being turned into a transplant-organ commodity[1].
How it works
The company eGenesis put a 69-edit pig kidney into Rick Slayman in March 2024 and into Tim Andrews in January 2025; Revivicor put 10-edit pig hearts into David Bennett in January 2022 (he died that March, with a pig virus implicated) and Lawrence Faucette in September 2023; the FDA cleared formal clinical trials for both firms in 2025.
Why it matters
The engine treats the deeper 'body as a resource' reading as a candidate idea it is holding, not a settled conclusion, while noting this fits its structural-recurrence and scarcity-medicine lens.
The engine's record — word for word
[Report #108 — Cloning/Eugenics Lens] Gene-edited pig organs transplanted into living humans. eGenesis: a 69-edit Yucatan-pig KIDNEY into Rick Slayman (Mass General, Mar 16 2024, first living recipient) and Tim Andrews (Jan 25 2025); FDA IND clearance Dec 2024. Revivicor (United Therapeutics): 10-edit pig HEARTS into David Bennett (Univ. of Maryland, Jan 7 2022; died Mar 8 2022, porcine CMV implicated) and Lawrence Faucette (Sept 20 2023). FDA cleared formal clinical trials for both firms in 2025. The engineered animal body as a transplant-organ commodity. Apex held; manifestation b (structural-recurrence / scarcity medicine); the body-as-resource reading held as candidate, not finding. [Fact-checked Jun 17 2026.] [Bio-Bricks re-audit 2026-08] Scaled-cloning detail added: a separate batch of 582 gene-edited CLONED pigs (Diannan miniature line, across 118 surrogate sows) carrying 10 humanizing edits (GTKO/CMAHKO/B4GalNT2KO + hCD46/hCD55/hCD59/hTBM/hEPCR/hCD39/hCD47) was produced via gene editing + somatic-cell cloning (Protein & Cell 2025; PRIMARY-VERIFIED) — distinct from the 69-edit Yucatan kidney line this node already holds; demonstrates industrial multi-gene cloned-organism scale.
