For tachanun, al cheit, twice in selach lanu etc, we bang on our heart. My question is: if someone has Situs inversus, a condition where the heart is on the right side of the body instead of the left, would they bang on their right side (because that's where their heart is), or their left (because since nearly all Jews have it on their left, we don't look at his body personally, he just follows the Jewish custom to bang on the left)?
