ABC News:
A team of French researchers has developed an artificial heart that resembles and beats almost exactly like the real thing.
The news is providing renewed hope to hundreds of thousands of patients who suffer from heart failure and for whom standard drug therapy, ventricular assistance or a heart transplant have failed or aren't possible.

Great a borg heart, or maybe they can call it the Vader 2000 for our VP.
McCain must wonder why things like that come from these socialist european countries.
If it has compassion for the less well off too it might be a useful republican upgrade.
When its time to go, its time to go. You cannot escape from death!

This is a disgusting comment, especially coming from an Obama supporter. I'm 29 years old and have a congenital heart defect. Can I not hope that modern medicine will keep me alive till I see my grandchildren?
Longevity research has come a long way. The ability to increase healthy lifespan is going to make incredible strides in the next few decades.
Awesome accomplishment! The doctors and engineers have much to be proud of.
We've come a long way since the Jarvik 7.
YEAH RIGHT ...
These fools can't even make an engine that requires Zero maintenance and they expect people to rely on a mechanical heart ?
NO Thanks ...
Let me die in peace ...
No problem...
The Repubs immediately moved to re-name it as a "Freedom Heart"
Those dang frenchie socialists never accomplish anything... Oh, wait...
man the frenchie achieves big, they got beat up buy the Nazis like sh*t in the ww2 and end up doing nothing but still manage to grab a seat in the security council. I'm still amazed how that is possible?
You're a complete móron
I can see why you would "be amazed" at that- you tend to look at reality through your narrow sh## lined glasses.
Can they mass produce these for every Republican?
YES, REPUBLICANS NEED THESE DESPERATELY! !
But they should be rigged the way REPUBLICANS RIG ELECTIONS.
FRAUDULENT HEARTS FOR FRAUDUENT AT HEART.
Just what they deserve!
No more years for Republican corruption and lies. WE CANNOT AFFORD ANY MORE REPUBLICANS who can't govern decently!
Great , maybe when can give one to Sara Palin

OH NO...it's made from ANIMALS!!!
Let's make an agreement....Pamela Anderson, Alicia Silverstone and yes, even Bill Maher...NO animal rights nutjob should be able to use this or any other medical device that uses animal products or anything derived from animals and/or animal testing.
THAT will thin the herd!!
