Pig heart boy
Pig-Heart Boy picks up the issues of xenografts or animal organ transplants. Cameron Kelsey has only a few months to live, and is no longer able to play sport, swim or live a normal life in any way. With no suitable human heart donor available, he agrees to try the revolutionary new process and is given a new heart, from a pig. Through his tribulations he learns about the meaning of friendship, and how much he loves life and doesn't want to let go.
