I found this really neat video Link2 on CNN, it describes a new way to transport hearts for transplants. Instead of being on ice, this machine pumps warm blood and nutrients and oxygen through the heart, keeping it beating.

Instead of being good for up to 5 hours, the heart can now last 12 hours and doesn't degrade.

Good news for all of us if it works!

Hey, that's a cool idea. I can't watch it, but I'm going to have to look more into that.

Cool, that would make a neat desk toy once they get it working a bit better.

Screw swinging magnetic dealies, I want a pig's heart in a box.

Oh, and good for people who need heart transplants.

Well if it's that kind of thread, Pffft -- just the heart? wink

"Mike (The Headless Chicken) (1945 – 1947) was a Wyandotte rooster (cockerel) that lived for 18 months after his head had been cut off. Many people thought it was a hoax, so its owner took it to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and had it examined, which confirmed that it was not a hoax."
