Bridges accused the Missouri Republican of engaging in “transphobic” questioning after he asked her what she meant by “people with a capacity for pregnancy.” “The Democrats say what they really think: men can get pregnant and if you disagree, you are ‘transphobic’ and responsible for violence,” Mr. Hawley tweeted afterward. “For today’s left, disagreement with them = violence. So you must not disagree.” Mr. Hawley touched...

Researchers successfully transplanted genetically modified pig hearts into two recently deceased people connected to ventilators, the New York University team announced today. The surgeries are the latest step forward in the field of animal-to-human transplants, or xenotransplantation, which has seen a flurry of successes so far this year — raising hopes for a new, steady supply of organs to ease shortages. The only thing different about these heart transplants from a normal human-to-human heart transplant was the organ itself, the research team said in a statement. “Our goal is to integrate the practices used in a typical, everyday heart transplant,...
