    With the continuous development of medicine nowadays, organ transplantation has become more and more common. Organ transplants have also saved countless lives. There was a special operation in history, although it belongs to the category of organ transplantation, but the whole process of the operation is even more jaw-dropping, what is going on?

    The baboon is a primate animal, many people should be familiar with it, its head is relatively long, the mouth is more prominent, the eyebrow bones are very high, the eye sockets are deep and angular, and the whole expression looks more fierce. Like orangutans, it is closely related to humans, and once in California, a little girl had a baboon's heart transplanted under the premise of congenital heart disease.

    For a little girl with congenital heart disease, it is not easy to survive, want to live a normal life, unless you can change a normal person's heart, we know that it is very difficult to get the right organ, in the situation at that time, organ transplantation was not as simple as now, but a very complicated process, the local hospital once found two cases of baby heart transplantation, but the results were all failures, and the heart that can be donated is becoming less and less.

    It was impossible for the girl to find the right heart, because the time was too short, and then the girl's attending physician proposed to transplant the heart of a young baboon into the body of the baby girl, the baboon's heart was relatively healthy, and it was very similar to the genes of humans, and in desperation, the girl's mother agreed with the attending doctor's idea. With the idea of giving it a try, they performed the operation, but they did not expect it to be a success, and the little girl who had the baboon's heart transplanted looked very healthy and her body did not show rejection.

    Many people thought that they could be safe and sound, and they persevered until the little girl had a new heart and was replaced with a human heart, but they did not expect that within a few days after the operation, the rejection reaction became more and more obvious, and various organs began to fail, and the little girl died after 21 days.

    Some people believe that it is not impossible to experiment with the heart of a baboon when the little girl is desperate, and some people think that it is unethical and moral, which is disrespectful to the life of the baboon, and the operation is said to save the life of the little girl, let alone to conduct experiments between humans and animals.

    Man seems to have become the second god in the world, who goes to heaven and the moon, crosses the sea to build bridges, and plants flowers and ....... in the desertCreate one miracle after another. It can even control life, disembowelment, biological cloning, organ transplantation, ,......Push the limits of the human body one after another.

    In today's world, the development of medicine is advancing at the speed of light like a rocket, and there are countless books explaining various incurable diseases. In recent years, xenotransplantation, another major medical research, is gradually becoming a central topic for people.

    We all know that in today's developed medicine, there have been many unimaginable medical miracles, and organ transplantation is one of today's medical methods. Organ transplantation is the transplantation of one person's organs to another person after matching, but there has been a case in the United States where the organs of baboons were transplanted to humans, and the organs can function normally after the operation.

    On October 14, 1984, a baby was born in California, USA, named Stephanie. Fiy. Pokeley, known to everyone as Baby Fiy, was born with a congenital heart attack, and doctors predicted that the child would only survive for a week, and his mother nearly collapsed several times when she heard the news.

    His mother begged the doctor to save him, but it was difficult to find a suitable heart for a transplant, so Fay's attending physician, Renard. Li Bailey offered to use the baboon's heart to transplant Fay. Li Bailey was a pioneer in animal organ transplantation, and he has been working in this field for a long time.

    When Fiy's mother heard about the transplantation of animal hearts, she was very resistant at first, this was experimenting with her own child, what if the operation was not successful, and then for the sake of the child's survival one in 10,000 possible, she reluctantly agreed to this proposal, and after signing the consent form for the operation, Fiy was sent to the operating room.

    It didn't take long for the good news to come from the operating room, the transplant was a success, the baboon's heart was beating alive in Fiy's body, but the joy did not last long, Fiy's body rejected the baboon's heart, and 21 days after the transplant, Fiy's baby was declared dead.

    Now, more than 30 years later, there are still many difficult clinical questions about xenotransplantation, and whether this practice is ethical has become the most controversial issue today. That's all for this issue, what do you think about it, talented, welcome to leave a comment.

    The girl only lived for 21 days, and according to the current technology, xenotransplantation is still very difficult, not only the donor is not enough, but the most important thing is that the human body will have a severe rejection reaction to xenogeneic organs.

    In the end, he only survived for 21 days, because there was a problem of internal rejection, and xenotransplantation would not work, because many of the body's functions were not connected

    For a terminally ill person, if there is hope, it is very good for them. And before this incident, there was a thing that also caused people's arbitrary, that is, there was a baby girl, she had successfully transplanted the heart of this baboon, and this experiment was a very happy thing for many people, but many people did not expect that this experiment was later stopped by relevant scientists. Because we all know that it is a person, how do you transplant an animal's heart into your own body?

    Even at the genetic level, this kind of behavior is a kind of moral desecration to some extent. Because everyone knows that no one can know what kind of result this little girl will have if she has been related to the baboon is a heart, and this girl is also very miserable. When she was born, a doctor conducted a relevant examination on this, and the result of the examination was that this little girl's heart was actually half missing, and she only had 1 2 of a normal heart.

    So it was also very worrying for his mother, and at that time there was no related heart surgery that could be used as a bypass to save the little girl, so at this time a scientist proposed that the heart of a baboon could be booned. <>

    In order to save the little girl, the mother also agreed to the operation. It was 10 hours before the operation of the animal heart transplant into the human body was finally completed. But what many people didn't expect was that it was more than 20 days after the transplantation of the baboon's heart that the little girl died, and it can be said that the experiment ended in failure.

    We can also say that this surgery is, in a way, a bad outcome. If he is really very effective, then this little girl will not die, this is also an experiment between animals and humans. But this popularity experiment ended in failure, and for many people it was an unexpected result.

    Although the baby girl was successfully transplanted with a "baboon heart", after the operation, the baby girl's body rejected the foreign organs, and her body could not fuse with the baboon's heart, causing the baby's immune system to fail quickly, resulting in the baby's death. Therefore, although the operation was successful, the operation was later halted by scientists in order to protect the patient's life and the life of the baboon.

    The little girl chose to transplant the baboon's heart, and at first everything was normal, and the condition improved, but after 14 days, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and eventually she died, the cause of death was heart failure, not the problem of the donor heart, but the rejection of the little girl's own immune system, simply put, the immune cells in the little girl's body killed the heart.

    It was still unsuccessful, because the human heart and the heart of a baboon are different, and the human body will have a rejection reaction to the heart of the baboon.

    Now because of physiological rejection, the little girl is now dead. So it is impossible for humans to transplant the hearts of animals. Even if the transplant is successful, it won't live long.

    I think it is feasible, as long as the genes, blood type and all aspects are matched, after all, it is very difficult to do a heart transplant, first of all, it is difficult to find the right heart, this practice can increase the possibility of heart transplantation, and the hope of the patient's survival.

    Doctors later succeeded in transplanting the baboon's heart into the little girl's body. At first, the little girl seemed to be normal and healthy on the surface, and there was no rejection. However, it didn't take long for the little girl to have a rejection reaction and her organs were rapidly failing.

    After the operation, the little girl only survived for 21 days before she passed away completely. I think that although the little girl still left, it was a very brave step to save the heart failure patient.

    Long since she died, only lived for 21 days, the baboon is an animal after all, and putting the animal's heart on the human body will have a rejection reaction, which is because of the rejection reaction and organ failure, which led to her death.

    The girl lived for 21 days because the baboon heart transplant was a xenogeneic heart transplant, and our human immune system is very complex. And this girl also passed away because of rejection.

    The little girl was from California, and the little girl was also very unlucky, because she was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at birth. In fact, this disease was a fatal disease for the little girl, and the disease was very serious at that time, and the doctor also asserted that she did not live long. Unless you can change your heart, you won't live for a few weeks.

    The local hospital has also tried two baby heart transplants, both of which have failed. In addition, there are fewer and fewer heart donations, and it is almost impossible to find a suitable heart because the test paper is so short. Later, the attending physician made a suggestion that such a subject was being studied at that time, and that the heart of a young baboon should be transplanted into a baby.

    The little girl's mother felt that she would wait for death when she went home anyway, so she might as well try to be a dead horse doctor. In the beginning, the operation was actually very successful, because the little girl who had the baboon's heart transplanted appeared to be healthy on the surface and did not experience rejection. But the initial ** did not last long after the operation, and later because of rejection and organ failure, the little girl died after 21 days of living.
