US doctors managed to transplant a genetically modified pig kidney into a 62-year-old patient. This procedure has been performed on a living person for the first time. Previously, pig kidneys were temporarily transplanted into brain-dead donors. The patient, Richard Slayman of Weymouth, Massachusetts, is recovering well and is expected to be discharged soon, doctors said.
