I don't understand what people are arguing, he didn't even get a real heart that could've potentially gone to "a more deserving person". He literally got something that no one else would've gotten. The only reason they agreed to do this experiment on him is because he was about to die and he agreed to be part of an extremely risky surgery that he very likely would've never wake up from.

I could see him being all over the press being annoying for the victim's family, but I don't see this as him being rewarded with anything. What he got is one of the worst option, though the fact that he's survived this far makes it better in hindsight. Then again 2 weeks means nothing, let's see if it actually lasts.
