Pig Xenotransplantation
I was disappointed by Mr Ghamdi’s answer to this important question. He compared eating pig with a life-saving procedure. What injustice! In history, Muslim Ulema are usually late to accept new innovations (examples include, printing press, use of microphones, translation of Quran in local languages, even creation of Pakistan.). I thought Mr Ghamidi was different. Re Pig xeno transplantation, from medical perspective, this heart transplant is a major advance in the field of medicine! Countless hurdles had to be overcome to accomplish this feat. People do not get heart transplants for fun. They are at the end of their lives. It’s a life saving procedure! These transplants will alleviate suffering for many people. Muslims should not be deprived of these medical advances!
Also, consuming blood is not similar to blood transfusion. Consumption as food is prohibited in Abrahamic faiths. Food is what is consumed by Gastrointestinal tract. So soup give via a tube in the stomach is food but glucose given via syringe in the vein is not food
