Surgeons have transplanted a pig’s heart into a dying man in a bid to prolong his life. He's only the second patient to undergo such an experimental feat. Maryland doctors said Friday that the man was cracking jokes and able to sit in a chair two days after the transplant.

While the next few weeks will be critical, doctors were thrilled at his early response to the pig organ.
