    Relax. They only use hearts from pigs that have filled out special cards giving permission to use their organs for science after processing.

    The headline makes it sound like this is a machine that starts recently dead hearts beating again on their own. I thought my search was finally over. Way to get my hopes up.

    Ahh, so the heart tissue itself is pretty much dead, they just force the solution through it to simulate beating, right?

    @Skyman747: Excuse me, but I hardly appreciate being lumped in with that garbage. They stand there and protest such STUPID points, are completely intolerant of other viewpoints, and generally just piss me off, a bunch of damned extremists...


    Oh Lord do I hate PETA.

    Adam, there must be something wrong with your local gadget store 'cuz the one in my neighborhood keeps plenty of these in stock. Just last week they were running a two-for-one mitral valve special.

    @bosskev: this reminds me of the episode of "1,000 ways to die" in which a man got ahold of a cow's heart, hooked it up to a car battery, and proceeded to make sweet, sweet love to it.
