      Yeah, but he got a human heart in 2018 and was diabetic.

      He wasn’t going to live long regardless, but what matters is what killed him and the source is pretty bad.

      Two months isn’t great and it’s not terrible, so the details is what matters.

    I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand that’s pretty interesting and like, hurray for saving lives. But on the other hand it seems kind of incredibly messed up to raise animals as sacrificial organ sacks.
