JUST WOW.
comment too short

#1 Exactly. Way too short. There are a lot of unanswered questions. Like rejection, quality of life and so on.

First step to a cyborg "The Six Million Dollar man"

What happens when they run? There's no increase in heart rate?

#4 The measurement would have to change from BPM to litres per second. So for it to truly work it would have to be variable.

My good Sr you have no heart

This is huge, however his heart will never increase heartbeat when he sees nice woman anymore.

Amazing. Really amazing. I wonder how long he'll live.

One step closer to the zombie apocalypse.

hahaha #9, can't wait... zombie slayer time....

"Human physiolgy can be supported without a pulse" That's what he said, right? Just Wow!

The problem with current technology is that it requires a battery. These are not small. The heart is just a muscle so of course a mechanic heart can do the same. I thought they had been doing this for far longer tho. One organ that is very hard if not impossible to replace right now is the brain. What mankind needs is a way to copy a brain onto another format or into a host brain. It's just a matter of time. ** When that happens humans will live on forever in one way or another. **

i need a new pecker

Kenny G. has one in his lungs!

Imagine being in an accident and being unconscious. He may be declared dead and buried or cremated alive! Yikers

Awesome!! Hang on; that's probably how vampires have been doing it for years. No heartbeat but still walking the earth!!!

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked,
'How old was your husband?'
'98,' she replied, 'One year older than me'
'So you're 97,' the undertaker commented.
She smiled and responded , 'Hardly worth going home, is it?

The title shouldve been,"a man without a heart"

Well actually with this kind of device you don't need a pulse, since it provides constant pressure and blood flow and does not need to rest between beats which are the two main reason why we have heart beats, which BTW are nothing but one of the criteria to tell someone is dead more important is brain wave activity before hear beats and breathing.

Well six years on and I've still not had a conversation with anyone without a pulse....... apart from Suxi.
