The article was titled \u201cIn a First, Surgeons Attached a Pig Kidney to a Human \u2014 and It Worked.\u201d It discussed the procedure which resulted in a genetically engineered pig kidney working for a human transplant. It went into detail about the procedures and the questions that were still unanswered. Such as will this last long term and are there any other consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall I thought the writing was really good. The writer did a nice job with the title and lead. It was enough to intrigue me and make me click on the article. The writer didn\u2019t include any personal biases and no preferences towards anything shined through. I thought it did a good job with just stating the facts and what, so far, was known. She walked through all the information she had and it was explained well. As someone who isn\u2019t in the medical field, I felt like I could understand what was being said. The use of quotes was also very helpful and added to the story rather than just taking up space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most <em>NYT<\/em>\u2019s articles I read, this one got a little long and if I\u2019m being honest I didn\u2019t read all the way through it. I got to the point where I felt I knew what I needed to and then moved on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-the-new-york-times wp-block-embed-the-new-york-times\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"In a First, Surgeons Attached a Pig Kidney to a Human, and It Worked\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/svc\/oembed\/html\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2021%2F10%2F19%2Fhealth%2Fkidney-transplant-pig-human.html#?secret=KHR6kng2Tx\" data-secret=\"KHR6kng2Tx\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this week\u2019s News Comment I read an article from The New York Times by Roni Caryn Rabin.
