FRANKEN-SWINE KIDNEYS IN PIGS

HUMAN kidneys have been grown inside pigs in a unique "Frankenscience" experiment.

It is the first time boffins have been able to grow a solid "humanised" organ inside another species.

They are now working on growing other human organs including hearts and pancreases - inside porkers.

The long-term aim is to create organs that can be used in human transplants.
