Re: Ripping Out Someone's Heart
Absent a cutting implement or ability, I suspect that simply punching a hole in someone's rib cage big enough to let you pull the heart out will also pulp the heart, so that pretty much puts this all in the superpowers range right there. If you have a proper cutting implement, IME it's fairly practical to split the breast of a chicken with a knife, but takes multiple seconds, so someone with a ST of 50 or so can probably do the same to a human chest.

Re: Ripping Out Someone's Heart
Keep in mind that Resident Evil 5's Albert Wesker was "super-science" and Mortal Kombat's Kano was ridiculously cinematic.
And to get the points needed to pay for their abilities, they had to take the disadvantages Obsession (COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION!!) and Odious Personal Habit (Terrible Australian Accent), respectively. |

1) Create a hole in the chest large enough for a hand clenching a heart, without damaging the heart in the process. 2) Grasping ahold of the heart without destroying it. 3) Sever all the tissues connecting the heart to the body (including all those pesky blood vessels), again without damaging the heart. 4) Pull the heart out through the hole. I don't know of any particular weaknesses in the tissues of the chest that would allow (1) or (3) to happen simple with force - you would need a cutting or perhaps impaling attack to make these happen.
