有朝一日，猪能提供可用于人类器官移植的心脏、肝脏和肾

据英国《星期日泰晤士报》9月7日报道，英国生殖学专家温斯顿爵士准备在未来的三个月内开始饲养一些已接受基因改良的猪，这些猪能提供可用于人类器官移植的心脏、肝脏和肾。

温斯顿透露，这种技术的核心是，将含有人类基因的病毒注入到小猪的睾丸，或直接将这些病毒注入到精子中。温斯顿特别指出，与其他的方法相比，他推崇的这个方法更为切实可行以及人性化；他已经为该技术申请了专利，“这个技术可以带来无法想像的商机。”

According to United Kingdom "the Sunday Times " September 7 reports, United Kingdom reproduces the pig mimicking Sir expert Winston prepare the reform beginning to raise a few already accepting a gene within future three months , these pigs can provide the heart , hepar and kidney may be used for human being organ transplanting.

Winston is disclosed, this technology core be, pour the virus containing human gene into the testiculus to the piggy, or in these viruses being poured in directly to sperm. Winston points out specially, comparing with other method is compared with each other , this method that he praises highly is more conscientiously feasible and personalizes; He already is to be a technology's turn to have applied for a patent ", this technology can bring along the business machine having no way to fanciful".

温斯顿是这一技术的先驱者之一，这些经过特殊基因改良的猪会长出“人类的”器官，并且这些器官不会遭到接受器官移植的患者的免疫系统的排斥。温斯顿和他的同事、美国加州理工学院的卡罗尔博士一致认定，这些猪经过基因改良后，完全可以祛除其自身所带的危险病毒。这些猪将被注入6种人类基因，防止接受移植的病人排斥所移植的器官。“猪器官的大小和人类器官的大小基本一致，而且这些器官的运作方式也与人类的相似。”温斯顿说。
