On 16 March, Richard Slayman became the first living person<\/a> to receive a genetically modified pig kidney. Less than one month later, Lisa Pisano became the second. Now, Towana Looney has become the third, having undergone the procedure on 25 November.<\/p>\n

All three of the surgeries mark a significant achievement in xenotransplantation, the transfer of animal organs to people, and have laid the groundwork for a small human trial to hopefully begin within a year, said Robert Montgomery<\/a> at NYU Langone\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
