I haven’t slept for seven-and-a-half years – at least, it feels that way. The TV, rotating between Bluey, The Wiggles and K-pop Demon Hunters (when the toddler is napping), has been on for days as we battle yet another winter lurgy that drains me yet barely touches the surface of my two daughters, who vomit on the carpet one minute then ask for ice-cream the next.

These experiments have paved the way to transplants of pig organs into living human patients, although only a handful of those procedures have been performed so far.The recent experiment, described Monday (Aug. 25) in the journal Nature Medicine, took place in Guangzhou, China, and involved a 39-year-old male who…
