I was wondering, what are your thoughts on the recent news of the successful genetically-edited pig kidney transplant into a human?
I assume since it would be to save a life, it would be halal, but will there still be pushback/hesitancy?

We can discuss the science of it but not halal stuff.
The provider's religion is immaterial; as you said, they bring the science. But, it's a coproduction of care, so needs to align with the patient's beliefs and goals as well to reach consensus.
