What is this sentence? The word "another" implies either this man wasn't the first or that a "genetically altered pig" is legally considered dying man.
The man in the first four paragraphs of the article, Lawrence Faucette, is the second dying man to receive a genetically modified pig heart. The first dying man, referred to in your quote, only survived two months but the heart failed, possibly due to a virus in the heart that came from the pig.
Thank you for your explanation. I did not follow correctly.
