All residents of Rancho Mirage and d onors who contribute $100 or more annually to the Rancho Mirage Library an d Observatory Foundation can take advantage of priority seating for Premie r programs by arriving early.\n\nDr. Joshua Mezrich is Professor at the Un iversity of Wisconsin and holds the Mark A. Fischer Chair in Transplantati on. He is the surgical director of the kidney transplant program. He runs a translational science lab investigating the role of the microbiome and s erum biomarkers on organ quality in brain dead donors. \n\nHis new book\, Every Living Creature: How Xenotransplantation Will Change Our Lives\, is the incredible history and promise of inter-species organ transplantation. With more than 100\,000 patients in the United States waiting for life-sa ving organ transplants\, the shortage of organs will never be solved if so meone must die for someone else to be saved. And yet a solution is well wi thin reach—xenotransplantation\, or the transplanting of organs between different species—the once unimaginable scientific achievement that Dr. Mezrich explores in Every Living Creature. \n\nThe protagonists of this st ory are as incredible as the science it details: a transgender visionary\, the highest-paid female CEO in the world\, who simply wants her daughter to live\; the surgeon saved by a high-risk heart transplant\, who swears b y the promise of pigs’ organs\; the brilliant and brash surgeon-scientis t-entrepreneur who is risking everything to make xenotransplantation a rea lity. Each plays a part in what is\, in the end\, the story of a miracle —a miracle we can breed.\n\nThe first 200 people at this event will rece ive a FREE copy of Every Living Creature.
