When MIKE is born, we’ll sequence his genome.
Lessay we find out this baby has coding associated with heart failure. It won’t fail until he’s 30, but it will fail.
So when he’s 20, we buy a pig with humanized epitopes that will give a tissue match for Mike in 10 years.
And lo and behold, when Mike’s heart starts FAILING, there’s already this great Pig, all fattened up, ready for slaughter, and GUESS WHAT..?! We take his heart, right after he dies, maybe in the pen behind the hospital.
And what we have is..
1. Mike healthy
2. Happy Mike family
3. Bacon
It’s a beautiful thing, and ya know what? If WE don’t do it, China will have NO compunction at all about stepping into the gap AND ALSO doing about 1,000 bad things also.
I suggest you don’t tell anyone that the bacon you’re selling is from a human-pig hybrid, if you actually expect to sell it.
