Did the Swine give informed consent for its kidney to be used?

If she lives will she eat pork? Would that make her a cannibal?

So many questions about the ethics of interspecies transplants.

Do Hog kidneys work as efficiently as human ones? Will she reject the Swine flesh?

How do they keep her body from rejecting it?

How long could she live if this is a success?
