Things like pig valves and kidney dialysis help people live longer without having a transplant. Kidney dialysis is a special treatment that people go through that filters harmful wastes, salt, and excess fluid from their blood (webmd.com). People usually get that when they have kidney disease, and while they are waiting on a new kidney, if they ever get one. Science has also gotten to the point where we use pig valves and parts to replace human parts so that people can live longer. That are also getting to the point where science is starting to take over since people won’t donate, and replacing parts with robotic
