This artificial heart you see here grosses me out, but count me in if it will be able to save lives. Originally invented by a human who is now too feeble to even row a boat, the artificial heart can pride itself in being the first practical robot organ to be incorporated into a living Russian dog. Unfortunately for us humans, our body will most likely reject plastic organs since we aren’t Barbies to begin with. Thankfully the advances of science has since been able to make us survive much longer than we ought to, and I would love to see more technologically advanced medical discoveries in the near future, with the artificial heart paving the way.
