Lawrence Faucette, a 58-year-old Maryland man, is the second person to receive a transplanted heart from a pig.
For a history-making two months, a pig's kidney worked normally inside a brain-dead man, raising hope for this type of transplants in future patients.
This experiment marks the longest a genetically-engineered pig kidney has functioned after a transplant, according to NYU Langone Health.
The author of "Sick Girl" and "My Glory Was I Had Such Friends," who has lived for 35 years thanks to two donor hearts, calls for changes needed to improve immunosuppressive drugs necessary for organ transplants.
"That's a lucky mother*****r right there," a responding law enforcement officer is heard saying while walking towards the vehicle.
When John Ivanowski's kidney began to fail, his daughter was the best source of a transplant, but he didn't want to take an organ from her.
The senior prosecutor in the case said the couple involved, along with a U.K. doctor found guilty alongside them, had shown "utter disregard for the victim's welfare."
