Pharming is blend of
two words: ‘farming’ and ‘pharmaceutical’. Organ pharming is
the process of using genetically modified livestock such as cows, goats, pigs
and chickens to grow organs that can be useful to human beings.
The process of organ
pharming begins by injecting embryos of animals with the genes of human beings.
Due to their altered genetic structure, these animals have organs similar to
those of human beings.
When they grow
older, their organs are ‘harvested’ and transplanted to the bodies of humans
who need them.
