More Saudi pork?
Josh Chafetz at OxBlog asks whether this report (that Idi Amin seeks kidney donor) is a sick joke. It sure sounds like a sick joke to me. For once, in this very limited instance, I have to express agreement with Dr. Leon Kass -- who opposes organ transplantation. No human organs should go into that guy! On the other hand, I see no reason why xenotransplantation might not be attempted, in this instance -- at least as an experiment. I am not sure whether pig kidneys have ever been transplanted successfully into a human being, but I'd be willing to bend the rules. I don't think Amin's Saudi hosts would mind, do you? If they get mad, they could always try another experiment: open up the hospital window, slide him off his gurney, and let him fly! posted by Eric on 08.14.03 at 02:31 PM |

Funny...now he cannibalizes for parts.
Not like the good old days. "You want a steak
and WHAT pie, your highness?"
Hmmm...Idi gourmet....?
