A New Frontier

The organ shortage has a waiting list measured in years and a death toll measured daily — and the first patients to accept a gene-edited pig organ stepped off that list into medical history.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts gather the frontier's voices: recipients of engineered pig kidneys and hearts narrating consent conversations unlike any other in medicine, the operations, the immunology vigils after; families who authorised participation for loved ones out of options; waitlist patients watching each announcement and recalculating hope; and the honest arcs — organs that worked for months, rejections, and lives extended briefly but meaningfully. Ethicists' questions surface inside the stories, not around them.

Who it's for

For patients and families on the transplant list, anyone following xenotransplantation's first chapters, and readers weighing what pioneering costs.
