    The last guy died after 2 months and didn’t show any signs of rejection either… I wouldn’t break out the party yet.

      That’s because he happened to get a verry treatable infection but was already immunocompromised. The pig heart was never the issue

      That’s true, but he may very well have died due to a virus the tissue was infected with. There’s no sign this heart has the same issue.
