A truly fascinating article, but what was even more fascinating to me was the reaction of a small number of people who left comments at the end.
Two women commented about feeling sorry for the animals who were tested on. Quite a few people disagreed. Including myself, for obvious reasons.
Another comment was made that suggested if people just ate healthy and exercised more, they wouldn't need a transplant in the first place. Well, I've got news for that guy...ever heard of genetics?
Such naive comments are to be expected from people who probably have never experienced a health crisis first hand, or with someone important to them. Idiots.

WOW...fascinating!!!
Idiots.. on the internet? What is this place coming to?
Interesting stuff though, definitely
Tim, you're right. I shouldn't let these couple of comments get to me. :)
VERY cool article. I wonder how long it will take for the FDA to approve it - that is, as long as the clinical trials prove it to be a viable option. I'd also like to know about someone's quality of life with the implanted prosthesis.
In regards to the guy who suggested a better diet and exercise would keep someone from needing a heart transplant: how would the aforementioned offset a genetic defect?
Secondly, this guy probably doesn't believe dinosaurs once existed.
