Providing an easy vector for animal diseases (of which there are many that humans have zero resistance for but which are by themselves unable to cross the species barrier) to cross over to human populations.
Of course, if your goal is to reduce the global population by 90%, this is an excellent idea. That's always the agenda-behind-the-agenda with the globalists.

It would be nice if pigs extended our lives to 150 years, but Muslims were unable to join us.

If the pigs are raised in a sterile environment then there should be no illnesses that you get from the transplant, HOWEVER, you would after receiving an organ be susceptible to catching a pig related illness if you went to visit pigs or any animal OR Human carriers of pig only diseases.

I can think of a half dozen RINO-crats that could use pig testicle and spine transplants!

They’ve been doing it for decades.
Skin is the largest human organ.
Pig skin has been used as grafts for human burn victims since at least the 70s.

Pig heart vales.
Lewis Grizzard once said the only problem he had with his was every afternoon he has an uncontrollable urge to go and make love in the mus.

Yes, nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong...
It's just an incredibly stupid idea, especially when genetic treatments that don't involve creating chimeras may soon be available. See here for one amazing possibility.
