It's been a month since a Maryland man became the second person to receive a transplanted heart from a pig --- and hospital video released Friday shows he's working hard to recover.

It’s not less ethical than doing it for meat, is my point.

I’d argue it’s more ethical than meat. You can live a healthy life without meat (provided you’re still getting your protein and B12). You’re kinda dead without a heart.

I agree, while we’re eating meat, feels strange to call the ethics of pig heart harvesting into question.
