Pigs Parts For Human?
Cited from Newsweek ® October 30, 2006
HEART OF A PIG
Doctors
may be a step closer to putting pig parts - hearts, kidneys and livers
- into humans. Researchers at Revivicor have "knocked out" a pig gene
thattriggers an immune response in humans. The next step: introducing
human genes into pigs that trick the human immune system into
recognizing the organs as thier own. Dr. David Cooper of the University
of Pittsburgh, Revivicor's affiliate, says clinicals will take at least
another five years - KARLA BRUNNING
My Comments:
This is sick. Please read my line.
Should we (human) descend down to this level of filth?
I
personally and strongly oppose to this research. I'd rather die if they
are to put any 'filth' inside my body. I know this is also not
ethically correct especially to the Muslim's community... what are they
thinking? Pigs? Oh, come on.
I am very sure that most of us Malaysians, especially Muslims are practising their moral values. I am saying this especially when appreciating and being thankful for being blessed with the greatest creation of the Creator Himself. Our body. So, even if there is a belief that pig is not a 'filthy' animal in Islam, I will not approve this either. Animal parts should belong at their respective places. God has ruled it out. Why do we try to outsmart father nature? Why can not we channel our 'capabilities' to escalate better living of human being? Meaning the better and in more ethical way. I can not answer this either because it is polluting my values.
Then,
in the article, the strong "knock out" phrase suggested that this is
being unlawful and immorally practiced. What kind of sinister would
this be if the world is to accept this? Tricking human immune system to
force in accepting pig's parts as their own? Ridiculous.
I leave
my hanging comments for other's to kindly add in. Please my friends.
What say you? To my another point of view, it seems that technology is
taking sweet revenge back on us. Just because of the attitude and to
fulfill one of human's desires that is to live longer. Oh, please. I
feel sick already. Finally, I am praying that this so-called
'righteous-job' to fail, and all the researches would come back to
their Human Senses again. (Dd)
