It doesn't seem particularly far fetched? We do it with their heart valves after all
You can't do a xenotransplantation of living tissue, its immunogenic. The implanted heart valves are dead.
Using dead pig skin as a graft is just a worse version of a fish scale graft with way increased risk of infection. Even if it was possible (I don't know if it is) it would just be a worse version of an existing procedure
Oh interesting, I didn't know the valve was dead
So what you're saying is we need a fish foreskin to transplant
Preferably more of a fore-scales situation
Please don't give the scalies any more ideas
