"There are two signs that identify a kosher species of animal. 1) It has split hooves, and 2) it chews its cud (i.e. it regurgitates its food and chews it over a second time.) The first sign is easy to spot - just look at the hooves. But the second is not so apparent. You have to study the animal's digestive system to know if it chews its cud. A cow is an example of an animal that fulfils both requirements, and is thus kosher. A horse is not kosher because it fulfils neither. There is only one animal in existence that seems kosher because it has split hooves, but is really not kosher because it doesn't chew its cud -- the pig." Source: www.chabad.org

Is pork pig meat cleaner than other meats?

Jewish perspectivePork is not unclean. It is unkosher. There is a difference. In the Torah, we are told what animals are and are not fit for eating. Pigs are just one of countless animals that are considered to not be fit for eating. The actual rule for mammals is that they have to both chew their cud and have split hooves.


Can Jewish people have pig organs transplanted into them?

It is a matter of debate, but in general, yes, for two reasons:1. Jewish people may break almost any law in order to save a life (except for murder, adultery, and idol worship).2. Even more importantly: in non-life threatening situations, many authorities would still allow pig organs, because technically pig meat is unkosher only if it's dead. If it's a living organ, that's a different story. (If you count living pig organs as unkosher, you'd also have to count living human organs as unkosher).
