Exploring Xenotransplantation with Dr. Sanjay Gupta: Inside the Future of Organ Transplants

View descriptionShare

Over 100,000 Americans are waiting for life-saving kidney transplants, with 17 dying each day. Why isn’t universal donation enough? Could xenotransplantation – transplanting gene-edited organs from other species into humans – be the answer? We sat down with Sanjay Gupta, MD, CNN’s chief medical correspondent, to unpack his documentary Animal Pharm and explore the promise and perils of this scientific frontier. We dive into his visits to biosecure pig facilities, ethical questions across faiths, and concerns around infection, cost, and organ rejection. Dr. Gupta also looks ahead to the potential use of pig hearts, lungs, and livers. Tune in for a rare blend of hope, controversy, and cutting-edge science.
