Incorrectly weighed priorities IMHO. People on dialysis have a poor quality of life, a dramatically shortened lifespan and will frequently not survive until that time that a donor kidney becomes available. By contrast, donor organ recipients live a normal life for 10 years or even longer.

A pig’s lifespan is shorter than that to begin with. So even if you were to equate a pig’s life with that of a human: the added lifespan of the human is more than what the pig’s entire life expectancy is.

But frankly, it bothers me that we are even having a debate about this: a pig is vastly less valuable than a human life. Whoever disagrees with this fundamental premise has his priorities completely wrong.
