Answer:

Pig

Step-by-step explanation:

This process is called Xenotransplantation. The animal organ, probably from a pig or baboon could be genetically altered with human genes to trick a patient's immune system into accepting it as a part of its own body. (Wikipedia)

Answer:

Pig

Step-by-step explanation:

Pig valves are already used successfully in heart transplants. Human-to-human organ transplantation has only been around since the 1950s, and scientists have been working on animal-to-human transplants for almost that long. In the '60s, Keith Reemtsma experimented with transplanting chimpanzee kidneys into humans.
