I recently saw on Good Morning America that a few scientists had genetically modified a pig kidney for transplant into humans. According to the program the study looks promising. How ever I am an animal rights supporter so I want to know what happened to the pig?

Since pigs are like humans, it only needs 1 kidney to survive. Maybe the pig is an altruistic living donor and is just fine. If so, more people should be like this pig!
