From here: Surgeons perform first xenotransplant using CRISPR'd pig kidney - STAT (statnews.com) “In a new test of xenotransplantation, a medical team at Massachusetts General Hospital announced Thursday that, for the first time, it had transplanted a kidney from a CRISPR gene-edited pig into a living patient.
"They also used a unique cocktail of antibody treatments to further dampen the immune reaction and give the transplanted kidney the best chance of surviving in the patient"
See the focus here? Give the transplanted kidney the best chance of surviving in the patient. NOT to give the patient the best chance of surviving having pig parts inserted into his body.
The only place animal parts should be in our bodies is in our digestive tract.

"...and inactivated viral genes in pig cells that could cause infections."
Well, since these entities are in silico nucleotide sequences, and no virus is identified, at the very least we need a new nomenclature.
"...to get a better idea of how long the pig kidneys can function and whether they can meaningfully extend the length and quality of patients' lives.”
Habituation to experimentation; seems quite the thing now.
