    The 1912 Nobel prize in Medicine and Physiology was given to Alexis Carrel for his work on the anastomosis of blood vessels, which formed the basis for organ transplantation. It is claimed he prophesied that “the ideal method would be to transplant in man organs of animals easy to secure and operate on, such as hogs, for instance. But it would in all probability be necessary to immunize organs of…
