Time will tell if genetically-altered pig organs used by U.S. surgeons will be acceptable to humans or not, says Dhaniram Baruah
Dhaniram Baruah, a cardio-thoracic surgeon from Glasgow, now based in Sonapur near Guwahati, was not surprised by U.S. surgeons taking credit in 2022 for what he had pioneered 25 years ago — transplanting the organs of a pig into a human body.
But their claim of a “first in the world” surgery made him wish India, Assam to be precise, was more appreciative of his medical experiments much ahead of their time.
