Some threads just don't attract any interest. Whatcha gonna do?

Didn't want your post to be the last. Too embarrassing. So let it be mine.

Novartis did a study a couple of years ago which suggested strongly that the threat of transgenic viruses from xenotransplants was very low, which was one of the common fears about such things.

Might as well make the last post on-topic ;)

Actually, I've been expecting this thread to explode because there are so many different topics to discuss. The first one that occurs to me is the use of pig engineered organs would be intolerable to all the Muslims. Of course it might also work as a punishment worse than death for one caught in a terrorist attack...

I've been waiting for this thread to explode, too, but it seems that the word "creation" hasn't been mentioned, so all's quiet for the time being. However, I'm shocked that no one has responded to your "common ancestor" quip.
