Clemens August Freiherr Droste zu Vischering, auch kurz Clemens August zu Droste-Vischering oder Clemens August Droste zu Vischering genannt (* 21. Januar 1773 im Erbdrostenhof zu Münster und am Folgetag in St. Servatii getauft; † 19. Oktober 1845 in Münster), war von 1835 bis 1845 als Clemens August II. Droste zu Vischering Erzbischof von Köln.

Leben

Herkunft und Familie
Clemens August entstammte als Sohn der Eheleute Clemens August Maria Droste zu Vischering (1742–1790) und Sophia Alexandrina Droste zu Füchten (1748–1817) der Adelsfamilie der Reichsfreiherrn Droste zu Vischering, eine der ältesten und bedeutendsten westfälischen Familien. Er wuchs auf mit seinen zehn Geschwistern: zwei Schwestern, darunter Rosine (1777–1819, ∞Maximilian Anton von Boeselager), und acht Brüdern, darunter  Adolf Heidenreich, (Erbdroste und Erbauer des Erbdrostenhofs), Kaspar Maximilian (Bischof von Münster), Franz Otto (katholischer Theologe und Publizist), Maximilian Heidenreich (Landrat in Brilon) und Joseph (Obersthofmeister und k. k. Feldmarschallleutnant). Im Elternhaus wurde er vom Hauslehrer Johann Theodor Katerkamp unterrichtet, mit dem er und sein Bruder Franz Otto vor 1796 eine zweijährige Bildungsreise durch Deutschland, Schweiz, Italien und Sizilien unternahmen.

Werdegang
Er bereitete sich in Münster wie seine beiden Brüder Kaspar Maximilian und Franz Otto auf ein Leben im geistlichen Stand vor.
Durch seinen Bruder Kaspar Maximilian, der 1795 Weihbischof geworden war, empfing er am 14. Mai 1798 in Münster die Priesterweihe und wurde Domkapitular. Als solcher gründete er am 1. November 1808 die Kongregation der Barmherzigen Schwestern von der allerseligsten Jungfrau und schmerzhaften Mutter Maria nach dem Vorbild der Vinzentinerinnen Vinzenz' von Paul. Die nach ihm zumeist nur als Clemensschwestern bezeichneten Ordensfrauen haben sich der Krankenpflege verschrieben.

Am 16. September 1810 avancierte er zum Generalvikar des Bistums Münster. Bereits am Anfang seiner Kirchenkarriere widersprach er strikt jedem Kompromiss mit der preußischen Regierung in der umstrittenen Frage der Erziehung von Kindern aus interkonfessionellen Ehen. Als ihn diese Haltung auch in offenen Konflikt mit auf Ausgleich bedachten Amtsträgern der Kirche brachte, legte Droste zu Vischering im Sommer 1820 sein Amt als Generalvikar nieder und widmete sich in Zurückgezogenheit der karitativen Arbeit.

Sein Bruder Kaspar Maximilian, der 1825 Bischof von Münster geworden war, spendete ihm im Jahr 1827 die Bischofsweihe, nachdem er zum Titularbischof von Calama ernannt worden war. In den folgenden Jahren war er als Weihbischof im Bistum Münster tätig. Das Kölner Domkapitel wählte ihn am 1. Dezember 1835 – in erster Linie auf Wunsch des preußischen Kronprinzen  und späteren Königs Friedrich Wilhelm IV. – zum Erzbischof von Köln und Nachfolger Ferdinand August von Spiegels. Seine Inthronisierung folgte am 29. Mai 1836.

Im Amt begann der neue Erzbischof sofort einen dem Ultramontanismus nahestehenden Kurs zu verfolgen, was sich zunächst in seinem energischen Vorgehen gegen den Hermesianismus unter den Priestern seiner Erzdiözese zeigte. Am 17. und 18. September 1837 verhandelten der Regierungspräsident von Düsseldorf und der preußische Gesandte am päpstlichen Hof mit ihm persönlich wegen der Berliner Konvention von 1834, die sein Vorgänger von Spiegel mit Preußen als Kompromissregelung in der Mischehen-Frage abgeschlossen hatte; Clemens August weigerte sich, die Konvention anzuerkennen.

Am Abend des 20. November 1837 wurde der Erzbischof verhaftet und zusammen mit seinem Sekretär Eduard Michelis in Minden unter Hausarrest gestellt. Er bewohnte ein angemietetes Quartier mit ständiger Bewachung im Hause des katholischen Kaufmanns Vogeler. Papst Gregor XVI. erhob lauten Protest gegen die Verhaftung des Erzbischofs. Droste zu Vischering wurde als "Bekennerbischof" unter den deutschen Katholiken populär, was ihn zu einer Kristallisationsfigur des politischen Katholizismus machte. Das Domkapitel unter Koadjutor Johannes von Geissel führte die Geschäfte des Verhafteten weiter. Am 17. April 1839 wurde er wegen seines schlechten Gesundheitszustandes aus der Haft nach Darfeld entlassen und lebte dann zurückgezogen in Münster. Verhandlungen der Kurie und des Erzbischofs mit dem preußischen Staat machten dem Kölner Kirchenstreit 1842 ein Ende.

Sein Grab befindet sich im Hochchor des St.-Paulus-Doms zu Münster.

Taliban takes three more provincial capitols and the strategic Kunduz airport.
The Taliban controls huge areas of Afghanistan now
The Taliban has taken two more provincial capitals. They control eight out of thirty-four total, with many more under siege. Most of the southwest and Northeast are under Taliban control.
Another notable development is that government workers in Kandahar, the second-largest city, are being evacuated to the airport en masse. The Taliban have been fighting security forces outside the city for weeks. Taliban entered the city once before and freed prisoners from a jail. However, they evacuated afterward.
The Taliban claims to control over 50% of all districts in Afghanistan.
It is clear that since the US invasion, the Taliban has made dramatic gains in winning support among the Tajiks and Uzbeks, their former enemies.
Kunduz, 5th largest city, 374k, capital of Kunduz province, mostly Pashtun
Taliban had been entering Kunduz in large numbers since 2015 and appears to have major support in the city. Until August 11th, the Afghan army still controlled the large and Kunduz airport. The airport is at a high elevation south of city and was supposed to be easily defendable. However, it was officially announced that the airport has fallen today. The Taliban also announced that capture of Ali Abad districtm today, which gives them control of the entire province. The USA airforce is bombing Taliban targets in the city.
Sheberghan, 176k, capital of Jowzjan Province, mostly Uzbek
Sheberghan was allegedly taken with little or no fight. Afghan security forces are said to have ditched their uniforms and deserted. This is considered the second most important Uzbek city. The head of the Province is said to have defected to the Taliban.
Aybak, 120k, capital of Samangan Province, two-thirds Tajik and one third Uzbek
Formerly a center of resistance to the Taliban in the 90s.
Taloqan, 64k, capital of Takhar Province, mostly Uzbek
Taliban forces entered the city and freed prisoners from the jail. Security forces are said to have mostly fled.
Puli Khumri, 60k, capital of the Baghlan Province, Uzbek, and Tajik
The Taliban took the city on August 10th after days of fighting.
Farah, 54k, capital of Farah Province, majority Pashtun. Tajiks are the second largest group.
Taliban seized Farah on August 10th. The governor of Farah declared that security forces were repelling the Taliban and then five hours later said the city had fallen.
Zaranj, 50k, capital of Nimruz Province, Nearly half Baloch, with Pashtun the second largest ethnic group
Taliban is said to have taken the city with little or no fight.
Fayzabad, 50k, capital of Badakhshan Province, Majority Tajik
The Taliban seized the city on August 11th after several days of fighting.

Cold enough for you? Forecasters say, no, not yet
Lori Steineck CantonRep.com staff writer @lsteineck.REP
Jan 30, 2019 at 8:58 AM Jan 30, 2019 at 3:37 PM
It's still going to get colder. And despite temperatures topping 50 degrees in the coming days, winter is far from over.
With the National Weather Service-issued Wind Chill Warning in place until 4 p.m. Thursday, meteorologists with the Cleveland office say the coldest weather appears to be happening this morning.
Schools, businesses and other facilities have closed as the temperatures today are expected to plummet even further and the wind chills are expected to plunge to 32 degrees below zero.
Even postal workers who deliver mail despite every weather extreme may consider staying home.
"We are making mail delivery under extreme caution, and employees will make every attempt to deliver to our customers as long as it's safe to do so," said Twana Barber, strategic communications specialist for the U.S. Postal Service. "Full delivery will be made by Friday, February 1. We appreciate our customers who kindly clear their walks or areas around their mailboxes so our carriers can make their deliveries in a safe manner."
She asked for the public's assistance in keeping "sidewalks, pathways, approaches to and egress from mailboxes free of snow and ice so postal letter carriers can safely deliver the mail."
But the temperature is extremely cold.
Looking for a list of closings? Check out our closings website
"Temperatures will fall through the morning, and it's very possible we'll come close to that record low or even breaking it," said Marty Thompson, meteorologist in the Cleveland office.
Weather service records, kept in this area since 1887, list the record low for Jan. 30 at 6 degrees below zero in 1965.
Just before 2 p.m. the Akron-Canton Airport was listing a temperature of minus 4 degrees with winds out of the west at 23 mph gusting to 31 mph for a wind chill of 29 degrees below zero.
But it's going to get even colder throughout the day.
The expected low overnight is 10 degrees below zero accompanied by wind chills as low as 28 below zero.
Don't let the sunshine fool you.
The temperature Thursday is expected to rise to only 6 degrees (above zero) with wind chills down to 27 below, the forecast shows.
So tomorrow won't feel all that much warmer.
Warmer temperatures, however, are on the horizon.
Thompson said Friday's high will be in the lower 20s, Saturday's in the upper 30s and then on Sunday, the Akron-Canton area will see a high in the upper 40s, "near 50."
The weather service website showed Monday's forecast high at 51 degrees and showers.
"We'll slowly get out of the real cold stuff here," he said.
But winter is far from over.
"This is an up and down temperature pattern we've been experiencing this winter season," Thompson said. But February's temperatures and precipitation are expected to be below normal, he said.
Weather service records show the normal temperature this time of year ranges from 19 to 34 degrees above zero.
The record high for today's date was 66 degrees in 2013.

Bahrain given 1 May deadline to prove race can go ahead
The Bahrain Grand Prix was originally scheduled for 13 March
Bahrain Grand Prix organisers have been given until 1 May to prove to the World Motorsport Council that the postponed race can be rescheduled this year.
The race was due to be the season's opener on 13 March but had to be cancelled because of ongoing civil unrest in the Arab country.
A new date for August has been ruled out because it would be too hot.
So a date near the end of the season is the most likely solution, with the last races possibly being reshuffled.
Formula 1 chief Bernie Ecclestone told BBC Sport last week that he was confident a date would be found, saying "You never see anything about Bahrain on TV now."
"We'll have a look and see what we can do, how we can swap things round. Maybe we can change with Brazil, something like that," he said.
Bahrain could become the penultimate race of the season and Ecclestone is considering 20 November, the week after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
That might require moving the season-ending Brazilian GP back by a week.
Bahrain's Crown Prince decided to cancel the race two weeks ago because of violent clashes between anti-government protesters and government forces.
Ecclestone has said that F1 Management was happy to absorb the £25m cost of losing the race and the decision was the correct one.
"The person who runs the country was the right person to decide, and I'm sure he made the right decision," he said.
Ecclestone wants to introduce a new sprinkler system
"Whether it would have given the opportunity for more unrest or not I don't know but I'd hate to have had it happen that we were the cause for people getting a lot more publicity by sabotaging F1.
"The people there have been very good. If they want the race we want to be able to supply it for them."
With the new season just three weeks away, Ecclestone has also proposed the introduction of a controversial computer-generated sprinkler system to spice up boring races with artificial rain.
"I'm happy to make it happen," he insisted. "I've got to get everyone to fall into line. My idea is that we should make a programme but that nobody knows exactly which one will be used.
"At some time during the race it will be raining, maybe rain more than once. It's a bit more than a sprinkler system.
"We always have thoughts to do what we can to keep people entertained, we're in the entertainment business."
Ecclestone was also critical of the new moveable rear wing that has been introduced in a bid to improve overtaking.
Last year was so good and all the messages are that this year should be as good, if not better
"I don't support it at all," he complained. "It's unnecessary and will lead to more and more protests and upheaval. I don't see how it can operate properly."
The 2010 F1 championship proved to be one of the most thrilling in the history of the sport, with Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull eventually claiming the title.
"Last year was so good and all the messages are out there that this year should be as good, if not better," Ecclestone said.
"The signs are good. It looks like Red Bull will again be the team to beat."
Team Lotus, Virgin Racing and Hispania Racing will be looking to score their first points this year after debuting last season, but Ecclestone believes there needs to be a reduction in the number of teams in F1.
"Twelve teams is too many," he said. "I'd like to see 10, that's enough."

After a prolonged period of stagnant growth, wages are beginning to rise again in the labor market.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) recently reported that the average hourly wage rose 10 cents in December 2016 and 2.9 percent year-over-year, which is the largest increase since 2009. In addition, OMNI Human Resource Management (OMNI) has observed that overall pay in the labor market has been growing by 2 to 3 percent annually depending on the type of job or function being performed.
Wages appear to be rising as unemployment is dropping and as many labor markets or geographic regions approach full employment. However, wage growth still appears to lag the overall economic recovery, and forecasters still project slow wage growth for the foreseeable future.
But even with average hourly earnings rising from 1.7 percent in 2014 to 2.9 percent at the end of 2016, critics argue that wages are still below par. With an inflation goal of 2 percent and productivity growth of 1.5 percent, experts suggest that average wages should be rising by 3.5 percent annually.
Economists also say that inflation-adjusted wage growth is still not where we saw it in the 1990s and early 2000s, and we have years of slow wage growth now to make up for. Automation and globalization are key factors that have held wage growth down longer than in previous recessionary cycles.
However, a sea change may be upon us. Experts are predicting that average wages will continue to increase at a faster rate. They believe the labor market will continue to tighten and overall inflation will remain relatively modest.
These experts also argue that wages are a lagging indicator and that they have not fully reacted to the 2016 labor market. As such, workers in the highest-demand fields—engineering, high tech, health care—will benefit the most from increased wages at a faster rate than others.
So, what can we conclude? First, rising wages and full employment will make it harder for employers to retain and attract strong talent, increasing pressure on their bottom line. This may be even more true for certain in-demand skills, especially in sectors like technology, engineering and health care.
Second, pressure on annual merit or general pay increases is mounting, again bringing increased pressure on the bottom line.
Third, uncertainties around the Affordable Care Act place a greater burden on companies to be more creative with respect to compensation, benefits and all other rewards. Creativity in managing the mix of total rewards, along with other nontraditional elements of the employment offer, will be necessary to chart a financially viable course forward.
There are several steps you can take to adapt to these changing circumstances.
First, consider raising compensation for consistent high performers and critical-skill employees. You could provide more aggressive base pay increases for high performers, or provide performance-based bonuses and incentive compensation payments, or a combination of both.
To fund these increases, consider reducing the amount of base-pay increases to underperforming employees or those who are otherwise competitively paid for the value they deliver.
You might also consider incentive compensation payments in lieu of base-pay increases. This avoids the compounding growth of base-pay increases while still providing valuable reward opportunity for all employees and top performers, particularly if the incentive compensation payments are tied directly to employee performance—higher risk, higher potential reward.
In this scenario, high performers generate more aggressive rewards because of the value they create for the business, while underperforming employees naturally earn less because they have created less value. This approach works particularly well in environments that embrace high performance and clear line-of-sight employee goals.
Career development and opportunities for employees to develop new skills or work on special projects. This enables engaged and proactive employees to enhance or expand their experience and capabilities, therefore enhancing their overall value.
Flex-time or remote work opportunities. This allows motivated and focused employees to create a more desirable work-life balance (and higher productivity) while strengthening their commitment to the organization.
Greater emphasis on total rewards—compensation, benefits, recognition—and adjusting the mix of these elements to address overall employee needs—medical benefits, retirement benefits, etc.
Philanthropic and community service opportunities that provide employees an opportunity to give back to the community while encouraging teamwork and enhancing the company's overall image in the community.
Each of these opportunities, and others like them, provide opportunities to address important employee needs while balancing the overall financial investment in talent. Generally, employees appreciate their employer's willingness and flexibility in engaging with them to address their concerns and interests, strengthening their emotional commitment to the organization.
Budget season is almost upon us. The time is now for employers to weigh these opportunities and to plan and budget for high-leverage tactics that will attract and retain strong talent and deliver high return on their employee compensation investment.

It can be common practice for us to be empathetic and understanding of other people when they are going through a difficult time or are struggling however when it comes to applying this practice to ourselves, unfortunately it does not come as naturally. Many of us allow our critical voice associated with our self-expectations to take over when we are experiencing stress, failure, or significant challenges which ultimately just adds to our struggles. This can be particularly common with individuals who are in some form of a caretaker role as well as for those of us that expect self-perfection and nothing less. This type of self-judgment can lead to feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety, and physical illness.
The ability to practice self-compassion takes conscious effort and awareness on an ongoing basis in order to shift our core beliefs about who we are and the world we live in. Self-compassion promotes elevated levels of overall wellbeing that include happiness, gratitude, satisfaction, optimism, resilience, effective coping and self-care, and rewarding relationships.
The ability to be supportive, understanding, and loving to oneself especially during trying and difficult times. In other words, being kind to oneself involves the ability to cut oneself some slack.
The ability to be aware of thoughts, feelings, and sensations in the present moment without placing any judgment on our experiences or trying to change them.
The ability to relate to other people and recognize that everyone goes through challenges, stress, and difficult times, which reinforces that we are not alone.
Avoid comparing yourself to other people.
Reframe your mistakes as opportunities for growth.
Practice healthy eating and exercise habits.
Maintain regular contact with supportive relationships.
Prioritize your needs and do not ignore them.


I think the storm may have passed. At least it will be in remission for a while.
Since it has been a while, lemme offer a recap.
Being down a tester is a bad thing. Being down two is a freakin' tragedy. How big a tragedy? I spent four hours walking around 10 buildings on campus today, posting flyers for people, helping to advertise my group – awareness of a team can be useful when trying to staff a team. That's how big a tragedy it is. And I shouldn't even say "down two testers" – we didn't lose people. We just had scheduled a workload for a team of 6 and we're currently a team of 4. And what's more, people have been on vacation or stricken with whatever is going around our office – we were really down to 3, for the last month.
I'm not really complaining about it – I'm more explaining why there was lapse in posts. After being in the office for 8 to 14 hours at a time – the 12 hour day is the worst: 8 hours of meetings for Lead work and 4 hours of regular Testing after everyone else goes home – the most amount of talking I want to do is over Xbox LIVE. Or in some cases, no talking while playing Bully or WSOP:2008.
Add to that my own bout of illnesses. For anyone out there that's had a staph infection, you have my sympathy. Have two on your neck that have swollen to the point of pain? You have my empathy. Not this is something I would usually write about in-blog, but there's no way in hell I'm going to miss one of the busiest weeks that's I've had in the last year for what I originally assumed was acne. Meh. I haven't shaved in so long that I had to trim my goatee down to blend into an impromptu bread. It's well on the road to recovery but even so… what a fsckin' mess.
Not too much news in the way of Xbox that hasn't already been circulated. Halo 3 maps coming, Bully came out, I still haven't gotten SSBB, and [CENSORED] in time for the Holidays.
I noticed the Safari notification from Apple's Upgrader app. I don't mind the advertisement that is being done under the guise of Upgrading, but I do have to say that Apple has committed the same crime that so many other Windows apps have: Service overload. For people that are relatively new to PC's – read Windows NT or higher – you don't remember what a TSR program is… Terminal-and-Stay-Resident programs were applications in the days of Windows 3.1 and DOS that would, well, say they ended yet still hang around in memory and using your CPU. Never heard of them? You have, but just as that name… Services in the 2000/XP/Vista world can be thought of as sanctioned TSR's that never claim to terminate. Same thing is true of applications that are auto-run from the Registry and live next to your clock. Sometimes they are useful, sometimes they aren't; what really pisses me off is when they are redundant.
What really pisses me off about Apple's latest round of QuickTime and iTunes is the fact the sheer volume of crap that they have been including lately. It started innocently enough: QuickTime would included an app that lived in the SysTray. No idea what it did; whenever I installed QT, I would pull it out of the auto-run list of commands and it still ran fine. Then iTunes added a Service that was used for detecting iPod's. OK, I can see that, but why run that all the time, especially as a default? Then they added iTunesHelper, in the Registry. Then a scheduler for Apple Updater. Then the Apple Mobile Device Service. What the hell? Again, where's the choice in all of this? Every . release of iTunes, I have to fix shortcuts, clean out the registry, reset a bunch of Services… on top of that why can't third party applications simply use the scheduler that is already active in Windows instead of writing their own?!
I'm sitting for Jury Duty in a couple of months. Phear.
I'm going to see a Mariner's game in a couple of months. Yay!
In closing, I'll leave you with one random comment from the bar this weekend. I wasn't helping out this week because the work week knocked me out, but somehow, the lone comment rang out across the bar: "I got peed on, this week." And based off the conversation that followed, this person did not work in an industry that involved medical situations and the person is not into water sports.
I never recall wanting IE7, though it was pushed on me too.
And I quote my own post: "I don't mind the advertisement that is being done under the guise of Upgrading".
But in all honesty, you had a version of IE already on the box, so IE7 would be an upgrade. I've never installed Safari so there's no "upgrade". Either way, though, I don't care – I like having the option of downloading the app. What I'm annoyed about is the collection of scheduled task services that are duplicated and the sheer number of services that a media player needs these days.
When the OS you're on gets sync services, unified notification apis, and an update mechanism for 3rd parties, lemme know.
Thats because Mac users are too stupid to find and install chat and music managing programs on their own. I say let apple roll out their broken browser. When it hits the real world where there are spyware and virus running amok, people will realize its not up to snuff.
Actually, im hearing EU is going to look into iTunes inclusion in the OS soon.
But, regardless, just uncheck the option to install it. Big whoop. The whole reason behind it being there is about search ad $.

Yemeni Akhdam, or servants, are similar to hereditary castes, but are distinguished by their African features and the menial jobs they perform. Widespread prejudice places the Akhdam at the bottom of Yemen's social ladder. Asked about the origins of the Akhdam, Yemenis say they are descendants of Ethiopians who crossed the Red Sea to conquer Yemen before the arrival of Islam some 1,400 years ago - making them outsiders in their own country. Most live in slum areas in the outskirts of the capital Sanaa and other main cities. They reside in small huts haphazardly built of wood and cloth, without basic services such as running water, electricity and sewage networks. And you thought you had it bad.

"Snow White" Beats "MIB 3" and "Avengers" Now 3rd Biggest Movie Ever
■Movies
by Roger Friedman - June 2, 2012 12:18 pm
"Men in Black 3" took a drubbing Friday night. "Snow White and the Huntsman" finished first with $20.3 mil. Charlize Theron and crew sent Will Smith and their gang back to number 2, a real fall, with just $8.1 million. "MIB3" is fading. So weird. Anyway, "Snow" is on her way to a $55 mil weekend not counting its foreign sales. "The Avengers" became the 3rd biggest movie in history last night with almost $600 mil domestic take. Both "Battleship" and "Dark Shadows" are fading. But doing well are "The Dictator," and "The Best Exotice Marigold Hotel." It looks like the documentary "Bully" is done, but it took a very respectable $3.2 million. Nicely done. It will have a big life on DVD, cable, and in classrooms.

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) and infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs) are innovative vehicles that allow developers to monetise revenue-generating real estate and infrastructure assets, while enabling investors or unit holders to invest in these assets without actually owning them.
Such monetisation benefits developers by allowing them to release capital for funding new infrastructure/real estate projects, and provides liquidity to investors or unit holders as the units of the trust are listed on exchanges. Apart from these, REITs and InvITs enjoy favourable tax treatment, including exemption from dividend distribution tax and relaxation of capital gains tax.
CRISIL has developed specific criteria for rating of REITs and InvITs that focus on assessment of quality of the underlying asset portfolio and cash flows, take into account the leverage, experience of the investment manager, risk management policies, etc.
CRISIL assigned its first InvIT rating of "CCR AAA" to India Grid Trust, an InvIT established by Sterlite Power Grid Ventures.

Pig Hearts Might Be Used in Humans
Posted by Norlyn Golez
Photo by: Giang H? Th? Hoàng (Flickr)
A new study has shown that pig hearts may be a viable replacement in human patients. Researchers were able to successfully transplant a pigs heart into baboon which has now survived for over a year.
This new progress in cross-breeding transplants may be a step closer to find another source of hearts for humans who need organ transplants. Each year approximately 3,000 Americans are in need of a heart transplant. Unfortunately there are typically only 2,000 hearts are available each year, the use of pig hearts could help close this gap.
Patients who could not wait for a human heart face using an artificial heart, which are far from perfect and often pose risks to the humans because of possible infection, power issues, haemolysis or clotting.
Organs transplanted from other animals into primates used to last only for about six months before the new host rejects them.
The option of using an animal organ for transplants was long proposed. However, the problem is in the way the hosts rejects the transplanted organ.
The similarity in pigs hearts to human hearts is why they were selected as the ideal source of cross-species transplants.
However, critics claim that pigs have a shorter life cycle than humans, so their hearts have to be replaced frequently. Their hearts may also transfer diseases.
The scientists have addressed this issue by altering the DNA of the pigs to make their heart more compatible with primates as well as humans. They removed some pig genes that could trigger an immune reaction in the hosts, and added some human genes.
In the baboon experiment, pig hearts were implanted into the abdomens of the baboons. The monkey's hearts were still retained, but the new hearts from the pig were connected to the circulatory system of the host baboons. These baboon subjects were also treated with medication that could suppress their immune systems. After more than 500 days, the scientists reported that the hearts are still working normally.
If this cross-species organ transplant succeeds, this could eliminate the shortage of donor organs.
