A leading professor at Winston College in London is breeding pigs that will be used to provide organs for humans. Apparently at the genetic level there is not much difference between man - the species - and pigs.
The whole idea of organ donation from barnyard animals does cause the brain to overheat trying to deal with the implications. But just think for a moment when scientists are finally able to successfully complete a back bacon or pork ribs transplant to humans. That one successful transplant is sure to open up a whole new market in the Chinese organ harvesting industry. Currently Chinese prisoners - or members of the Falun Gong religious sect, are harvested for their livers , and hearts etc, these organs are rushed to a "worthy recipient" - i.e some law abiding citizen who's check cleared.
With a successful pork rib transplant, prisoner's body parts could be sold to big restaurant chains - think about Appleby's, The Keg, Montana's the sky is the limit.
Though truth be told, if word ever leaks out about this practice, restaurants are sure to see an initial decline in their "All You Can Eat" rib nights.
People will overcome their disgust, and restaurants will see an increase in profits. Honestly pig ribs, or prisoner ribs - when you cover them in barbecue sauce - they're all so delicious.

Okay, I think I may have just vomited a little in my mouth...hehehe
Are you sure they would taste the same with bbq sauce? I mean, seriously, if they do -- I got no problem with that!
Angie - the meat falls right off the bone - sweet and sticky - I guarantee that you wont care if the ribs came from a pig or a serial killer. The rib sauce is a state secret - if it ever got out - people would go a killing spree in their neighborhoods just to get their own ribs for the grill....
hahaha! ewwww... hahaha! :P
Here's a weird thought: Your kidneys are failing and you go into the hospital for a transplant. Waiting for you when you come out of the anesthetic are your family and friends who just got back from the hospital cafeteria where the ham in their sandwiches came from the same pig as your kidneys.
Well, at least it's nice to know that they will be using all of the animal rather than wasting the spare parts.
This just brought back good memories from 'Fried green Tomatoes' - fire up the BBQ Big George!
