• Ever felt like your organs were just a little too mainstream? Well, one guy just took a culinary detour and lived with a pig kidney for 9 months! Apparently, he was trying to start a new trend in organ fashion—because who doesn’t want to say they’ve “hammed it up” in their body?

    While scientists scramble to solve the organ shortage with genetically edited pig parts, this brave soul gave us a real-life experiment in “you are what you eat.” Just imagine the conversations at family dinners—"Oh, this? Just a little bacon I borrowed from my own body!"

    So, what's next? Cows for hearts? Chickens for livers? At this rate, we might be hosting BBQs in our own insides!

    With the demand for human donor organs desperately outstripping supply, scientists are working to see if genetically edited pig organs can bridge the gap.
