The pig life expectancy is about 12-18 years. Does it mean that the heart will work about so long?

  Only if the heart is the first thing that goes on a pig.

  Not necessarily. Life expectancy is affected by the most mortal part of your species: it might be that pigs’ hearts are fine, but they’re prone to cancers after a certain age.

    Then could they yeet the old one into the sausage grinder and transplant a fresh one. It could even be a nice 12 year ritual, pay 1 million dollars for the most expensive sausage you'll ever eat. http://www.culinarypen.com/2014/02/pork-heart-sausage.html?m=1 http://www.culinarypen.com/2014/02/pork-heart-sausage.html?m...

      If you eat that heart, would it make you a cannibal? The heart cells are replaced every 3 years? Is that a human heart now, with a pig foundation?

  As a kidney dialysis patient who is 6 year in the waiting list, I know the wait times have been slowly creeping up. Any bridging solution to reduce need for dialysis or even better forms of dialysis would be welcome. Despite the anti rejection medication people tell me they feel way better when they get a functional kidney.
