Changing to their form and understanding their pain is practically one of the best uses of transformation that the boy can use. Imagine without going through hours of drug trial, he just transform and know what he or she is suffering from.

That was an exceptionally good use of the power. If it's by touch he's likely copying DNA and as such inherits any genetic issues from the person as well. Clever bit of writing to create actual sympathy between characters.

[@1khaitoh]

Still makes me wonder how he changed his face accordingly as 'Thomas' grows up. So besides a normal 'shapeshifting' he's more likely becomes an 'exact copy' of his target. Also his regenerative ability seems superficial since he was able to kill himself but to survive a shot from a shotgun almost instantly is something.

[@TheGurroruo]

He’s regen is tied to changing forms. He didn’t change forms when he died so he just died.

[@mycroft16]

Since it is by touch, he's likely copying DNA, which means if he stays in a form it's going to age as it normally would.

[@Chris-we7hh]

He most likely do not just copy their looks, since he also gained the girl's disease when he shapeshifted into her and gained better running skills during the two boy's competition. You know since he regenerated the shotgun wound when he turned back couldn't he turn into someone else, have him and the girl switch hearts, and then after waking up with the weak heart he reverts back to to his original body with the original heart? That regeneration seems to be broken, he can supply unlimited fresh organs as long as he can wake up afterwards and revert back.

Why would he have to kill himself with the drug at all? They could literally have performed the heart transplant and placed him temporarily on ECMO. After regaining consciousness, just shapeshift into someone else and then back again... and according to movie logic, you would have your own heart back as if nothing happened.

[@travissmith1042]

He was a fugitive; I doubt he would've been a candidate for the surgery.

[@swedishshortsnout5610]

@@travissmith1042 Ok... So shapeshift into someone that is NOT a fugitive and is a candidate for the surgery. That makes more sense than what he did here. There is a good chance that if you either overdosed or took a potent enough drug to kill yourself that quickly, that the drug was also cardiotoxic. As is, he was lucky that his heart was still healthy and viable after killing himself in a way that could have caused heart failure, thereby eliminating him from the donor pool.

​@@raphealrobinson8912 Correction: There are cases of people *reporting* having the thoughts and feelings of the transplanted organ's donor. Sometimes they "recall" or "feel like" the organ used to belong to someone, but when they start describing their imagined version of the donor it's a different sex and race from the real person or the personality they describe is totally unlike what the donor was like in real life.
