Russian Orthodox Church approves pig lung transplantation to humans!
Chinese scientists' research treatment is blessed.
August 28, RIA Novosti report.
The Russian Orthodox Church allows the transplantation of animal organs to humans.
Priest Feodorit said: If these methods can help extend the patient's life, the church does not oppose this.
It is well known that Chinese scientists successfully performed the world's first lung transplant from a genetically edited pig.
Doctors successfully transplanted the lung into a person in clinical death.
The organ maintained its function and viability for 216 hours.
According to reports, the surgery showed that in the future, doctors will be able to transplant other organs for patients, not just lungs.
Priest Feodorit said: "Any treatment is blessed."
Moreover, animals seem to have been created for human beings.
If we eat pork, why can't we transplant its lungs and try to save a person's life?
Therefore, I think there is no contradiction between science and religion here."
