Grant Jones:
Less red meat? Au contraire! The heart is mostly composed of the stuff.

"The China Study", eh? Actually, I already do eat in a rather healthy manner most of the time, my habitual hearty Sunday steak & egg breakfast notwithstanding.

mig:
My heart goes out to you, sweetheart.

But if they can make new hearts someday, I expect that other spare parts will also be available...

All:
A heartfelt ELEVENTEEN!!!

Don't go breaking my heart. And I can not imagine this body at 100, forget about 150! ICK!

Less red meat, read "The China Study" a very good book.

That's an interesting impression of a pig.

I think Dr. Jarvik's stuff will be needed for awhile yet; this experimental procedure isn't expected to be ready for use on humans for another 10 years.

They just used a couple of little holes to replace the ACL and repair the meniscus in my left knee two years ago.

The changes in medical science in our lifetime has been nothing short of miraculous...

There was something on TV the other day about people living until they are 150 years old. Since so many do die of an "Achy Breaky Heart" this could be one of the huge steps forward.I know they are starting to do surgery where they usedto have to crack open the chest ,by just useing little holes .Laparoscopy. The changes in just the past 10 years are heart lifting.

You have a slightly faulty heart, but yet you still smoke anyway?

DOUBLE OUCH!!!

Hawkeye®:
These are interesting points you raise; I wonder if some other animal would be a more acceptable alternative to those belief systems.

Tin Ma'am:
The primary objection to embryonic stem cell research is/was using human life as a commodity...which is something of an ethical "slippery slope". I don't think too many people have a problem with the other type of stem cell research.

Bunny:
Medical science is quite heartily pursuing quite a number of amazing possibilities...

Let not our hearts be troubled...medical science continues to discover new ways to keep our hearts beating. I take heart at such a fascinating new discovery.

In theory, unfortunately people are very much against human testing which actually stifles discovery. Medical discoveries would have quicker fruition if we were allowed to apply them. You know what will stifle the chances of getting heart transplants via this process from saving lives? Politics. It's like stem cell research all over again.

Pig hearts? Well, I guess that will give Muslims another reason to hate Christians. And for that matter, I wonder if Jews will figure out a way to "Kosherize" them...

(:D) Best regards.

Heartening news?? Ouch is right!

But, being one with a slightly faulty heart any advancements would seem to be good news. Pig parts? Sign me up!!
