As we look to heal and enhance our bodies, we are harvesting valves, organs, fluids, etc. from animals and implanting them in our bodies.  I am addressing the potential farming of animals with our own DNA to act as surrogates for replacement body tissue and organs.  Consuming animals is taking on a second level of meaning.  Given the biological similarity of humans and pigs, pigs may become our “pet” of choice and offer us more than pet companionship.
