More Saudi pork?

Josh Chafetz at OxBlog asks whether this report (that Idi Amin seeks kidney donor) is a sick joke.
It sure sounds like a sick joke to me. For once, in this very limited instance, I have to express agreement with Dr. Leon Kass — who opposes organ transplantation.
No human organs should go into that guy!
On the other hand, I see no reason why xenotransplantation might not be attempted, in this instance — at least as an experiment. I am not sure whether pig kidneys have ever been transplanted successfully into a human being, but I’d be willing to bend the rules.
I don’t think Amin’s Saudi hosts would mind, do you?
If they get mad, they could always try another experiment: open up the hospital window, slide him off his gurney, and let him fly!
(That would be research into whether the swine flew…)
