This was nice until my brain came up with the question: "Where did they get a donor for a 16-month-old baby?"

At least they got a donor, my brother died when he was barely 1 year old because of a heart issue.

I didn't even got the chance to know him. I just knew of him because I found my family book and there was a picture of a baby, a name, a birth date and a death date. I asked my mother and she told me he died because of heart issues. Nothing else.

My twin died at 2 months old due to double heart failures. It's nice that i didn't get to know her, else it would've been terrible. But it's a really odd fealing

Apparently, I absorbed my twin in the womb.

I hope it's like that species of shark where the baby sharks fights in the womb for the right to be born

I didn't really bother putting any thought into it at all. Now that I have, all I can think is there was a mother who's baby died and she... Oh man I can practically hear her sobbing...

I guess a pig.
That's where we usually get hearts.

We get heart valves from pigs. Not the entire thing. We can't use an entire pig heart, the immune system wouldn't like it. No one wants to risk their body rejecting all of their heart. A fixable chunk yes, the entire thing no.

Sometimes its a life for many lives like a child with no chance giving life to many other children.

To save a child with no chance you sacrifice another child with no chance?

it could have been a child that was around the same age that had been pronounced brain dead due to injury or illness. The child with the artificial heart didn't have no chance it had slim chance but a chance none the less organ donations don't work by sacrificing they work through people who are pronounced brain dead,(or cardiac arrest it depends if you're a donor you can choose)
