1984 10 10 In October, a seriously ill baby was welcomed in California, USA. The baby's name is Stephanie Faye Bocquery. At that time, even though the medical conditions in the United States were relatively more advanced, there was no way to help Stephanie get rid of her serious illness. At that time, American medical experts only put forward a hypothesis of "xenotransplantation".
And "xenotransplantation" refers to transplanting organs needed by the human body from different organisms into the human body. For example, "as a species, human beings can transplant usable organs from other species such as baboons and monkeys, but' xenotransplantation' has always been a hypothesis, and no experiment can verify that' xenotransplantation' is completely used in human medical care.

However, a miracle happened. 1October 26th 1984 There was an exclamation in the operating room, because Stephanie's initial operation stage had been successful. After leaving the operating room, Stephanie behaved like a normal baby. Even the crying sound, crying frequency and eating-related status are no different from those of normal children. Seeing Stephanie in this state, Stephanie is on the side.
