Video: Dude…WTF? Scientists “Grow” A Beating Heart From Cells
I know this is a slight rabbit trail from our norm, but this story, to me, is one of the most fascinating scientific endeavors I have ever seen. I don’t know whether to thank the Good Lord for revealing the technology, or curse the devil for all of the implications to this…
Don’t think I’ll need one for another thirty years, but, if I start saving now I’ll be able to buy one. I’ve often said I don’t care if I look like Darth Vader, whatever it takes to keep breathing.

But I expect if your getting too old for the operation, they won’t take the risk, unless your a national monument
I have seen that on the news here too ; anyway, good news ; it will help the families who have a sick child, as the organs donations are becoming rare cause of less car accidents !

But, the Philadelphia VA is a teaching hospital for the University of Pennsylvania. Somebody may want to experiment. If I am willing to pay for it they’ll probably try. I’ll be 90 in 30 years, if it works, great, if not, well, it’s time to go.
