Romania to set up pig farm for human organ transplant
The Romanian Comparative Medicine Institute in Bucharest, together with a Dutch company, will set up a pig farm in Arges, south Romania, to provide organs for human transplant, the local daily Adevarul reported on Monday. The genetic material obtained on the farm will be used for human organ and tissue transplant. The Dutch side will bring 200 immunized pregnant pigs to form the starting stock for the project. The report cited an official as saying that Romania is ready to allocate the money needed for the project. According to official projections, the farm will deliver transplant organs to both Romania and abroad in 2006. Posted by: TS(vice girl) 2004-05-11 |
