well for one, they are different species and so will have their bodies build up in a different way to our own. The potential for organ failure or rejection will be much higher that same species transplant. I know that certain pieces of organs can be used in humans but most organs differ from species to species to be incompatible as a subtitute. Bovine heart valves are compatible to humans to allow transplant of the valve, but not the entire heart.
