Lawrence Faucette, the second living person to receive a genetically modified pig heart in a transplant, has died six weeks after the experimental procedure. The University of Maryland Medical Center, where the experimental procedure had been performed, said the heart began to show signs of rejection in recent days.
That's really amazing. As a nurse, I'm very proud of your wife for contributing to the advancement of treatments for all patients. I know that study didn't require her to risk anything, but I still think she's a hero. Participation in clinical trials is so helpful

I would understand if she had said no to a second needle jab that day :)
She is also participating in the monitored rollout of a new COVID vaccine variant so she’s made somewhat of a habit out of this. I’m proud of her too!
