Humans may contract trichinosis (caused by the parasite, Trichinella spiralis) by eating undercooked pork.
Many different opinions on this topic exist. The bacteria in pork dies at 137F. Most cooking sites will suggest that you allow the internal temp to reach 150-160 degrees, using a meat thermometer to determine this. Pork has become much safer in recent years, so a small amount of pink is acceptable provided the temperature passes the 'kill temp'; cooking pork until it is gray and leathery is no longer critical, at least in the USA, UK, and other 'modern' nations with meat inspection guidelines that are well-enforced. Once that temp is reached, it becomes a matter of personal preference for texture and flavor.
