How do you implement a heart transplant when you inherit from your
heart, rather than contain it?
Before transplant:
class Me: private MyHeart
{
};
After transplant:
class Me: private SombodyElsesHeart
{
};
And how exactly are you supposed to make that change at runtime?
What do you suggest?
heart as a member of Me?

Before:

class Me
{
	MyHeart heart;
};

After:

class Me
{
    SomebodyElsesHeart heart;
}

It can't be done at runtime either.

(That's not a heart transplant; That's growing a clone body around the
new heart.)
This is exactly how transplant is seen from the new heart point of view ;-)
