alot of humans eat meat.. (i don't, im a vegitarian). why not put the cells of the animal to better use then just eating them? no ofcourse it shouldn't.
-
I don't think so. Why would it be considered?
-
It is already happening. Pig heart valves are sometimes used as an alternative to artificial valves.
-
I say no. My best friend is getting a pig valve in January to repair his heart. It is a preferable option as compared to a mechanical valve or getting sick and dying.
-
No. If it's a life saving measure then go for it. I think PETA would be the only people who would oppose it.
-
My guess? = Only likely by ignorant religious fanatics? ;-)
-
No. My grandma owes her life to a pig valve she recently got. If such a procedure was banned, what would be one good reason for banning it? +5
-
No. My wife had Rheumatic Fever as a teenager as she nearly died from Strep Throat. So MVP is a situation that may require a valve to be replaced. I believe they use the valves from pigs....don't tell my wife she's a vegetarian animal lover.

Yes, unless pigs can take organs from humans and put it back in the pigs.
