Today, a human heart was replaced by a fully enclosed artificial heart.
As I read about this ground-breaking surgery, I was amazed that the doctors and engineers who built the heart don't expect the patient to last more than a month. I was also amazed that the company who built the heart is located in nearby Danvers, Massachusetts.
The patient wishes to remain anonymous, but I frankly have a hard time believing he'll stay anonymous. If it were me, I'd be on TV as soon as reasonably possible.
My other thought about all this: we are soon going to be able to make cyborgs: half-human, half-robot beings.
