There is some discussion about the long tail of patients who don't get better, but from the article, this machine seems like it has lead to some incredible outcomes. Better respiratory illness recovery for extreme cases, better ability to recover from some cardiac arrests, etc. Additionally, for most long term patients, the reason they exist on the machine is because a lack of organs for transplant. There is little hope for more organs now, but in the future modified pig organs seem like a possibility for people that could really transform the ability to save peoples lives. Like it is nice that we can have ethics questions about this machine, and hopefully it can give some terminal patients the chance to find their own peace.
