It's not less ethical than doing it for meat, is my point.
Especially since a pig raised for organ transplant probably has way better living conditions than a pig raised for meat in an industrial farm.
I'd argue it's more ethical than meat. You can live a healthy life without meat (provided you're still getting your protein and B12). You're kinda dead without a heart.
I agree, while we're eating meat, feels strange to call the ethics of pig heart harvesting into question.
Except eating meat doesn't save lives
