Sanjay Gupta: 我一直在寻找异种移植的答案,亲眼看到这些基因编辑猪让我感到震撼,这项技术有潜力解决器官短缺的问题。 Robert Montgomery: 我自己也曾是心脏病患者,深知等待器官的痛苦。我坚持使用感染丙肝的器官,因为我相信科学可以解决问题。异种移植是解决器官短缺的关键,我们必须找到新的选择,为人类带来希望。照顾一个生命是伟大的,但有机会影响成千上万甚至数百万人的生命则更加伟大。 Tim Andrews: 我患有肾衰竭,透析让我痛苦不堪。异种移植是我的新希望,我必须参与其中,为人类做贡献。即使只有一天,只要能学到东西,我也心怀感激。手术后我立刻感觉很好,就像获得了新生。 Brittany Rydell: 即使这个手术对我母亲没有用,它也可以对其他人有用。 David Ayers: 更多的基因编辑并不一定更好或更坏。 Leo Riella: 我们宣布成功地将基因编辑的猪肾移植到活人身上。
