TN'T #1

Directions: Read the below prompt:

In September 2023, 34-year-old Maria Lopez, a teacher and mother of two, was diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure. Her only hope was a kidney transplant. But with over 100,000 people on the U.S. organ waitlist and a human donor kidney likely years away, Maria’s doctors proposed a radical solution: a kidney from a genetically modified pig.

Question: Why are the kidneys important? What problems might occur if we transplanted animal kidneys into humans?
