A number of people lead normal lives with hearts on the right sides of their bodies - there is dextrocardia (just the heart reversed) and situs inversus with dextrocardia (most internal organs reversed). Pretty neat.

To make the picture complete there is also situs inverses incompletus, which means that everything but the heart is mirrored.
