史密斯菲尔德公司每年屠杀约1600万头猪,并希望能够直接将猪的器官出售给研究人员和医疗保健公司,以研究用于人类移植的猪器官。
Stanton says the company plans to look into ways all types of major organs and skin could be used for transplants.
斯坦顿说,公司计划探索让所有类型的主要器官和皮肤都可用于移植的方法。
"There are striking similarities between pigs and humans: for example, our DNA and digestive tract," she says.
她还表示:“猪和人之间有着明显的相似之处:如DNA和消化道。”
More than 118,000 Americans are on the waiting list for organ transplants, and approximately 22 people die each day waiting on new organs, according to the US Health Resources and Services Administration.
美国卫生资源和服务管理局表示,等候器官移植的美国人数量超过11.8万,而每天大约有22人因未等到新器官而去世。
In 2016, doctors performed a record-high 33,500 transplants.
2016年,医生们总共执行了33500次移植手术,打破了历史记录。
The largest hurdle for pig-human organ transplants is the fact that pigs have genes encoded with viruses that could transmit diseases to humans.
将猪器官移植到人体内的最大障碍在于猪含有病毒编码基因,有可能将疾病传染给人类。
