[00:00:00]Did you know that in 2022, doctors successfully gave a dying man a pig's heart and he lived for two months? This wasn't science fiction. This was the breakthrough that could end organ shortages forever. David Bennett was dying. His heart was failing and he couldn't get a human transplant. So, surgeons at the University of Maryland did something incredible. They transplanted a genetically modified pig heart [music] into his chest. But, here's the mind-blowing part. Scientists spent 10 years editing pig genes, removing 63 dangerous viruses and changing proteins that would make human bodies reject the organs. They basically created humanized pig organs. Right now, over 100,000 Americans are waiting for organ transplants. 20 people die every single day because there aren't enough organs, but pigs could change everything. One pig could save eight human lives. Companies like eGenesis are already building facilities to mass-produce these organs. Imagine walking into a hospital and getting a new kidney immediately. No waiting list.

[00:00:57]But, there's a dark side. We're talking about organ farms with thousands of pigs. And what if we accidentally create new diseases that jump from pigs to humans? [music] The future of medicine just got very complicated.
