David Bennett, who was the first-ever pig heart transplant recipient, was convicted of stabbing a bar patron seven times before fleeing police in 1988.
once stabbed a bar patron seven times in a brutal attack that now has the victim’s stunned family questioning why the life-saving organ didn’t go to someone more “deserving,” a report said Thursday.
The attack forced her brother to use a wheelchair, led to a stroke and ultimately his death while Bennett has a new lease on life. Bennett struck Shumaker from behind then stabbed him repeatedly in the abdomen, chest and back, according to court testimony cited by The Washington Post. The attack ultimately tore her family apart, Downey said. “It was just pure hell until the day Ed died,” she said.
More than 106,000 Americans are on a national waiting list for an organ transplant with 17 people dying each day while they wait — raising questions about the ethics of who deserves the coveted organs, the paper reported.To some families, it’s an outrage that a person convicted of a violent crime would be awarded an organ others so desperately need. But doctors often disagree and there are no laws prohibiting someone with a criminal history from receiving a transplant.
