Can disease be transmitted from pigs to humans through islet transplantation?

A. There is no real-world evidence that pathogens, such as retroviruses, can be transmitted to humans through pig islet transplantation. In fact, evidence indicates that the risk of transmitting disease to humans by transplanted pig organs, particularly islets, should actually be less than the current risk associated with transplanting islets from deceased human donors.

Humans have had extensive exposure to pig tissue without disease. Some examples of this include: pigs as a meat source, pig heart values, pig insulin, pig brain cell transplants for treatment of Parkinson's disease, and pig skin transplants, to name a few. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
