seeder Posted May 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Quote Chinese man given pig's cornea China accounts for a fifth of the world's blind people: about 8m of its 1.4bn population. Corneal disease is responsible for roughly half of these cases, and for many people the only hope is a transplant. Owing to a lack of human corneas, last year the Chinese government gave the go-ahead for experimental use of pig corneas last year. About 200 operations have now been carried out. Wu Pinggui talks to the BBC after having an operation to transplant a pig's cornea into his eye. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36286128 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
