Pork used to have to be cooked well done due to "trichinosis". Trichinosis has been absent from inspected pork for many years now and you may actually cook your pork as you would a steak. However, for most people anything under medium (145-150 degrees) is just not palatable to the psyche. Most people enjoy it medium well (155-160) as it is very light pink and yet still quite juicy.

"it is... recommended that pork be cooked to an internal temperature of 155°F to 160°F to ensure safety."
hormel.com has an awesome glossary on every food imagineable and gives a lot of great tips on how to heat/cook it.

My book says you should have an internal temperature of 170 degrees farenheit. (pork should be well done) Hope that helped.

145
but if you don't want to risk it drying out cook it to 135-137 and let rest (covered loosely) for 15 minutes it will continue cooking (this is called carry over cooking)
