On the contrary, as a religious Jew I can honestly tell you that a transgenic
pig to be used for xenografting would be much welcomed among religious Jews.
Judaism really doesn't like canniballizing dead bodies for spare parts and only
permits it on the grounds that often there just isn't another alternative to
using bona fide human organs.
