Yes, I AM up late again studying for another BIG
Test for A & P II...
In tonight's reading-- I read in regard to valvular
stenosis, the heart valve becomes stiff....anyways---
it states..."Under such conditions, the faulty
valve (most often the mitral valve) is replaced
with a synthetic valve or a pig heart valve
chemically treated to prevent rejection."
OK. {Yes, everything but the oink!} So why
not approve xenotransplantation???
Again, thanks for listening (or not...)
Just glad (always) to "talk!"
Gotta sleep,
