That's pretty cool.

Now, what I was going to say was a little skeevy to me was I was talking to someone about, well, what's the end point here?

And they were talking about chimerism or like chimera, chimerism, chimerism, I'm not sure the pronunciation.

Chimerism.

But it's been done with rodents to some extent where you would knock out

the genes that would create, say, a kidney, and then you'd put some human pluripotent stem cells in.

And so now there's this empty niche where the human cells would kind of go, oh, this is where we're supposed to do our thing.

And so you'd have a pig growing literally human organs.

And then you could kind of have, the term that was used was your own personal pig.

On reserve.

Like the way people have a car out in back for parts.

Or else I was like, with pizza, it's like the personal pie.

Wasn't that a term a few years back?

Personal pie, like your own personal pizza.

You'd have your personal pig.

And I'm like, I don't know about that.

I mean, I feel bad for pigs in general.

There's like 160,000 pig farms in China.

Isn't that many?

Anyway, we are eating just millions of pigs.
