Would be interesting to see how long it last and how much it will cost to keep going. Interesting indeed. Thanks to all the monkeys who willingly died for this.

Using pig bits on people isn't new. We've been using pig insulin for diabetics for decades. The synthetic stuff is a relatively new thing.

Aren't they able to create artificial hearts now?

they do it, nothing surprising about that,
sickening sure, but yes they kill to order and stick those organs in people quite openly.
