[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1749037, member: 44954"] Researchers say they have developed a new technique that will get more kidneys to people who need transplants, but the method is sure to be controversial: The research shows that it is feasible to remove a kidney from an aborted human fetus, and implant the organ into a rat, where the kidney can grow to a larger size. It's possible that further work could find a way to grow kidneys large enough that they could be transplanted into a person, the researchers said, although much more research is needed to determine whether this could be done. "Our long-term goal is to grow human organs in animals, to end the human donor shortage," said study co-author Eugene Gu [URL]http://www.livescience.com/49503-human-kidneys-grown-in-rats.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
