Good grief! You've had *both*?

Where do you get this? I'd like citations for both these claims.

: 3) Pig hearts are used for human heart transplants.

No, they're not - porcine valves are used to replace human valves. That
has much more to do with their size and shape than with anything else. I
would imagine that valves from hearts of apes of essentially the same
size and blood volume would work even better. Ever notice, though, that
apes are _really_ expensive compared to pigs? Think that could have
anything to do with it?

The only animal to human heart transplant I've read about involved a
baboon heart.
