Scientists in the United States are trying to grow human organs inside pigs.
They have injected human stem cells into pig embryos to produce human-pig embryos known as chimeras.
The embryos are part of research aimed at overcoming the worldwide shortage of transplant organs.

It would be amazing if they could do it. Grow replacement organs to order and also make a nice sandwich at the same time. The implications are pretty astounding.
