If there is the strong posibility that the pig organ might carry viruses

Living with pigs is one thing, transplanting their organs
is another.

Does giving the pig organ human genes increase the risk of pig
viruses evolving to infect us?
It's an open question.
It's an open question, quite.
An open question, like having a revolver with one bullet and while
playing russian roulette, asking the question: 'is this one going
to kill me? ' with the difference that you are playing with
other people's lifes and making money in the process.
However humans have a whole bunch of viruses specifically designed to
attack humans ....
