Let’s imagine that organs can be perfectly grown in a lab and installed into a body without any chance of rejection or other complications usually associated with organ transplant.

You, a perfectly healthy adult human, go to the doctor and have them put a second heart in your chest that is connected to the circulatory system with your original heart.

What would be the effects of this? Could it even be done in this hypothetical situation at all?

    I dont think it will be beneficial. It w would probably cause hypertension. And it’s not like bodies have a lot of extra space now where you can fit a heart, so you’d be suppressing other organs.
