Is it bad I totally believed this?
This is the only one I've ever fallen for.
WS genuinely excited.
It doesn't seem particularly far fetched? We do it with their heart valves after all
You can't do a xenotransplantation of living tissue, its immunogenic. The implanted heart valves are dead.
Using dead pig skin as a graft is just a worse version of a fish scale graft with way increased risk of infection. Even if it was possible (I don't know if it is) it would just be a worse version of an existing procedure
Oh interesting, I didn't know the valve was dead
So what you're saying is we need a fish foreskin to transplant
Preferably more of a fore-scales situation
Please don't give the scalies any more ideas
