Have you seen seen the man living without a heart? Is is possible to live without a heart? Well read the news article below.

A gentleman named Craig Lewis, a 55-year-old experiencing a life threatening heart disease, named “amyloidosis”, was admitted to the Texas Heart Institute.

Amyloidosis (am-uh-loi-DO-sis) is a rare disease that occurs when a substance called amyloid builds up in your organs. Amyloid is an abnormal protein that is produced in your bone marrow and can be deposited in any tissue or organ.

Luckily, Dr. Billy Cohn and Dr. Bud Frazier from the Institute came up with what they call a “continuous flow” device which would let blood to circulate through his body without a pulse.

They detached Mr Lewis’ heart and then connected the device -the patient was up, well and speaking with doctors in the same day.

The device is formed by intricately tying together two ventricular assist devices, replacing the entire heart, It whirls instead of pulses, spinning blood through the body in a continuous flow.

Dr. Cohn is a expert surgeon, as well as an discoverer and scientist who has consumed a large part of his life developing technologies to substitute or repair the human heart. The most distinguished device being what is called the Left Ventricular Assist Device, also termed as LVADs.
Cohn teamed up with Dr. Bud Frazier to make a new discovery that uses the technology from LVADs to duplicate the functions of the heart’s right and left ventricles. They (inappropriately) tried their device on 70 calves, all of whom gave a flat line on an EKG, no heart rate or pulse, yet they were flawlessly normal, ate normally and related with each other normally but again, had no heartbeat.

The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood around the body. Common diseases that affect the heart are myocardial infarction, endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart diseases, atherosclerosis, myomas, cancers, hemochromatosis, coronary artery diseases and so on.

Yes he's a cyborg but being a cyborg does not make you a dead person, is an artificial implant it does not affect the brain.

If he is a cyborg what would you call people that lost their legs or hands and replace it with artificial one














You need to appreciate what science have done in your life and give them confidence to do more.







What if your son grow up one day and see this your comment and his dreams is to be a scientist.

it will only discourage him to give up in his dream



Stay positive so that your comment won't affect the future.

When a modified organism has become so distinct from the starting organism, the argument can be made that the original organism is no longer the same as the modified organism. How far does modification have to go before a modified human organism for example looses personhood is an ethical dilemma the likes the world is yet to come to grasp with. Good luck

But will never be like the original.

What makes you think so? The machine is certainly better than his own original! Else, he won't have needed the machine

etrange:


You have a point bro.... But I'm sure he would be better off without people like you around him.

Just saying....

He lives but I don't think he can move about or be free. There's nothing like the original. Happy for him though
