Xenotransplantation (transplanting something from an animal into a human) is something that's done today, even in the US. For example, if you need a heart valve replaced, you can get either a plastic valve or a tissue valve. Tissue valves often do not come from humans, but are harvested from pigs or cows.

We do not refer to someone who received a transplanted pig heart valve as a pig-human hybrid or as a chimera.
