[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"I am fascinated (and a bit baffled) by the fact that a pig valve will be used in the operation.... while I think that's amazing and wonderful, it does make me wonder - who thought to try that in the first place..."</blockquote> My understanding is that there's some sort of general similarity between human and porcine anatomy that makes it feasible to implant pig bits in people. I assume, in studying the physiology of pork, someone noticed this and then said "hey, maybe we can use this". Rather than someone asking "what do you suppose we could transplant into people?", and someone else saying "um... what about pigs?". [/QB][/QUOTE]
