no they really didn't ... though there is transgenic work with pigs as I recall looking at pig kidney transplants so there is some human-pig compatibility one wonders what the basis is for this comparison and whether modern medical science bears this out

btw without wishing to sound curmudgeonly does the copyright on the ArtScroll allow you to publish copies of their material on the web?
