A 57-year-old man is reportedly in a stable condition after undergoing experimental surgery to receive a genetically modified pig’s heart after he was deemed ineligible for a human transplant. David Bennett consented to the procedure as a last resort.
‘It was either die or do this transplant. I want to live. I know it’s a shot in the dark, but it’s my last choice,’ he said before the surgery.
His gamble may have paid off – the operation appears to have been successful, with Bennett breathing unaided just three days afterward. He will continue to be closely monitored for some time, but doctors are cautiously optimistic, hailing this as ‘one step closer to solving the organ shortage crisis.’
