Lawrence Faucette, the second living person to receive a genetically modified pig heart in a transplant, has died six weeks after the experimental procedure. The University of Maryland Medical Center, where the experimental procedure had been performed, said the heart began to show signs of rejection in recent days.
Source that 3D printed organs printed using the patient’s own DNA wouldn’t have rejection issues like a pig heart? I mean I can look one up for you if you really need me to, but I would think that would be pretty obvious.
I suspect that they meant a source that indicates that this is a path of research that is currently being pursued and likely not due to skepticism, but rather interest. I can understand, because I didn’t know it was something that people were actually researching; I mean, I first heard of the idea in a sci-fi novel!
Personally, I like to try to give people the benefit of the doubt, so I’m going to assume that maybe you were/are just having a bad day and didn’t mean to be rude. I hope that the rest of your day was/is better!

I didn’t mean to be rude. I was honestly confused.
