美国马里兰大学医学中心 10 月 31 日称，美国第二例接受转基因猪心脏移植的患者已死亡。这名 58 岁的劳伦斯·福西特于 9 月 20 日接受了猪心脏移植手术。医学中心在声明中表示，福西特出现心力衰竭症状后住院，因患有一些并发症，不适合接受传统的手术。
此次猪心脏移植手术是自 2019 年 3 月美国第一例接受猪心脏移植的患者成功接受手术以来的第二起。这一手术的成功引发了公众对异种器官移植的兴趣和关注。
目前，离异种器官移植仍然是一个备受争议的话题。一方面，有人认为这种手术可能会带来一系列的伦理和医学问题，另一方面，也有人认为它可能为那些需要心脏移植的患者带来新的希望。
随着科技的不断进步和医学的不断探索，我们离异种器官移植还有多远？这是一个值得期待和关注的问题。

On October 31, the University of Maryland School of Medicine announced that the second patient to receive an organ transplant from a genetically modified pig has died. The patient, 58-year-old Lawrence Fawcett, underwent the procedure on September 20. The medical center stated that Fawcett, who had advanced heart failure, was hospitalized due to some complications and was not suitable for traditional surgery.
This is the second time a patient has received an organ transplant from a genetically modified pig in the United States since the successful procedure for the first patient in March 2019. The procedure has generated public interest and concern about the ethics and medical implications of interspecies organ transplantation.
Currently, the question of interspecies organ transplantation remains a controversial topic. On the one hand, some people believe that this surgery may lead to a series of ethical and medical issues, while on the other hand, others believe that it may bring new hope for patients in need of heart transplantation.
With the continuous advancement of technology and medical progress, how far are we from being able to achieve interspecies organ transplantation? This is a question that deserves 期待和关注。
