    A terminally ill man has been given the chance of life after his own
    diseased heart was replaced by a genetically-modified pig's heart.

    In a medical first, doctors in Maryland transplanted the animal's organ
    into 57-year-old David Bennett and said on Monday that he is doing well
    three days after the experimental surgery.

    It is too early to know if the operation will work but marks a step in the decades-long search by scientists to use animal organs for life-saving transplants.

    ### - yep, just as soon as they perfect head-transplantation, then you'll
    be able to go the whole hog and have your noodle grafted onto the
    custom-made body of a pig tailored to suit...

    just add a morning suit & black tie to complete that tailoring and no
    fucker would be able to tell any different lol :)))
