Q. Which country recently performed the first transplant of a genetically modified kidney from a pig into a living human?
Answer: United States
Notes: US surgeons successfully transplanted a genetically modified pig kidney into a 62-year-old patient, marking a historic breakthrough at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
