According to another article: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2022/01/10/human-...

> Three genes were turned off that might otherwise have triggered an immediate immune rejection – the recognition of a pig organ as coming from a different species. Six human genes were added to prevent blood from coagulating in the heart, improve molecular compatibility and reduce the risk of rejection.

> One final gene was turned off to keep the pig from growing too large.

So they actually did make the pig a tiny bit human.
