Another reason that making animals with human genes, and transplanting organs from animals into humans, is not a good idea.

Unfortunately that doesn't matter. Pig DNA is very close to human DNA by nature. That is why pigs are used for replacement heart material, growing human ears, etc.
People and pigs have been passing viruses back and forth for at least the last 90 years and probably much longer.
