The first artificial heart patient died after almost three months. The next one lived eighteen. Maybe I've just walked this earth longer than most, and have seen more reports of how this stuff goes, but the fact that someone lived more than a day or two with a non-human heart is huge progress in my mind. Maybe next time will be a month or two. Oh, wait, the first patient already did! So I guess I'm a little surprised that anyone would have a negative take on this.
