U.S. surgeons transplant pig heart into human patient

I think your missing the point I am trying to make. Hint: It's not for my gratification, I am not asking people to show sympathy.

Ironically, you accuse people of "strawmanning", and then proceed do the same to me.

Perhaps take a leaf out of your own book and stop assuming intent.

Have a splendid day.

How is this not asking people to show sympathy?

It's not for show. As I said it was weird IMO that no concern for the pig was expressed. Given their capacity for suffering I would hope that people genuinely feel concern, which is not an invitation for hollow expressions of pity. Just doing that wouldn't make a lack of concern any less strange to me.

But dexwiz apparently enquired, or was at least aware that it seemed to have a reasonably good life. I guess that addressed my comment.
