Permanent Artificial Heart Really it works
One of the most important goals of transhumanist medicine—possessing a
perfectly healthy heart—has so far remained elusive. This week, we came
a step closer when for the second time ever, a French company
implanted a permanent artificial heart in a patient. More than just pumping blood, future artificial hearts
will bring numerous other advantages with them.
They will have computer chips and wi-fi capacity built into them. We'll
control our hearts with our smart phones, tuning down its pumping
capacity when we want to sleep, or tuning it up when we want to run
marathons. The patient who received the first of these hearts, though he survived for 76 days, died after the heart "
stopped after a short circuit, although the exact reasons behind the death were still unknown."
