Pig Heart

Pig Heart

Thirteen-year-old Elli has a heart condition. Without a transplant, she will die. With hope fading fast, a heart surgeon has a brilliant idea: transplanting the heart of a genetically modified pig. Elli’s mother wants to seize this rare opportunity, but Elli doesn’t want a living creature to die so that she can live. Does Elli choose her life or that of the pig?
