Pig-Heart patient dies
DAVID Bennett, a US man who received a swine’s heart has died.
David made global headlines after doctors grabbed him from the edge of death with a failed heart and gave him more time under the sun with a heart from a pig.
The donor pig was genetically modified to have a human-compatible heart and David had to take medicines to ensure his body did not reject the non-kosha heart.
However, despite all the best efforts, pig heart also failed in the last tow weeks sending David to a delayed grave.
The transplant raised moral and ethical issues especially among Judeo-Christian religions which consider a swine unclean thereby raising questions as to whether David will have a sofa before God with pigs heart in his chest as resurrection.
