An important step toward a surgery the New York team intends to ultimately undertake on living patients was the transplantation of a pig's kidney into a brain-dead man. The kidney has been functioning regularly for more than a month. Scientists around the nation are vying for the knowledge necessary to use animal organs to save human lives, and the bodies provided for research serve as an amazing practice.
