Maybe it was tried multiple times?
From the op link article:
Although it's been tried before — one of the earliest subjects, known as Baby Fae, survived 21 days with a baboon's heart in 1984, according to Time — the practice has fallen into disuse because the animal organs are usually quickly rejected by their human host.

My initial thought is that we are much more than our organs. We already use items in our bodies like pacemakers, to keep going. It is better to have a human heart, but if another animal's heart works, why not? The big question is should we exhaust all medical options available to stay alive? Is this part of being pro-life?

For me, it's to do with how the watchers messed with God's creation before. They mixed man with animals. Also, I believe I'm here as long as He wants me here, and to tell the truth, I don't want to be here a minute longer than I have to be. But I don't expect others to be like that. I have reasons for being like this.

Well, keep in mind too that it is not just that they put a pig heart in a human.
The pig heart was GENETICALLY ALTERED- they played with (altered) the pigs genes (DNA) to attempt to make the CROSS SPECIES heart transplant work.
Things like this were happening in the days of Noah, and look what the result was.

Seems pretty clear that she is using that verse to suggest that since a heart is flesh and blood it wouldn't be "disappearing" with you, so it would remain where it was/is presumably. Pretty good point and I hadn't thought of that verse in context with the "left behind" scenarios. It'd be the same with donated organs too (kidneys, etc.)
Is that what you are implying or are you saying something else?
