Scientists Have Successfully Grown A Functioning Human Kidney Inside A Pig

[00:00:00]A pig is growing a human kidney inside its body right now in a laboratory in California and the kidney is made entirely of human cells and is producing human urine because scientists found the single gene that tells a pig embryo to grow its own kidney, switched it off and injected human stem cells into the space it left behind and the human cells built a kidney all on their own.

[00:00:26]Over 100,000 Americans are on the transplant waiting list right now. Some of them will die before kidney becomes available. This pig might change that.
