This patient was already dying any way. I'm sure they gave him a choice to participate in the experiment. Doctors and researchers learned a lot from this initial surgery, and the procedure will improve in future attempts.

Don't forget that the first heart transplant was an experiment on a dying patient. Now those are done routinely and people's lives are greatly improved.
