[A US man has become the first person in the
world to get a heart transplant from
a genetically-modified pig.
David Bennett, 57, is doing well three days
after the experimental seven-hour
procedure in Baltimore, doctors say.
The transplant was considered the last hope
of saving Mr Bennett's life,
though it is not yet clear what his
long-term chances of survival are.
"It was either die or do this transplant,"
Mr Bennett explained a day before the surgery.
"I know it's a shot in the dark,
but it's my last choice," he said.
Doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center
were granted a special dispensation
by the US medical regulator to
carry out the procedure,
on the basis that Mr Bennett
would otherwise have died.]
