No it isn't -- it is simply the common meat which *tastes* most like
human meat. The reason for that is that pigs share with humans a
subcutaneous fatty layer, and eat the same kind of diet.

>] 2) Pig milk is the closest to human breast milk

No it isn't, it's simply closer than cows milk, due to pigs being
omnivores like us, and closer than cows in infant growth patterns.

Because they're the right size, and used with massive
immunosuppression. We'd be better off with primate hearts, but
primates of the right size are *very* *very* rare compared with pigs.

>] Maybe we are descended from pigs.

If ignorance was hereditary a good case could be made out for some
people!
