I just think the next step or the most important focal point of this whole issue is to study what happens when foreign organs are placed in the human bodies. I think that scientists must focus on ways to prevent bodies from rejecting the new foreign organ transplant. An advancement in this field would certainly cause Dr. Shaf's research to make an even greater impact.
