One of the most important goals of transhumanist medicine—possessing a perfectly healthy heart—has so far remained elusive. This week, we came a step closer when for the second time ever, a French company implanted a permanent artificial heart in a patient. More than just pumping blood, future artificial hearts will bring numerous other advantages with them. They will have computer chips and wi-fi capacity built into them. We'll control our hearts with our smart phones, tuning down its pumping capacity when we want to sleep, or tuning it up when we want to run marathons.

I like everything but that "wifi" shyt... but wow @ the tech finally getting here. I bank heavily on the progress of technology when i eat sometimes so this is great news. For awhile after the whole ban on stem cell research I was scared but it looks like other countries are stepping up.

people can barely remember their dental appointments or to pick up their kid from day care:mjlol:

you need a system tied into the body's natural -and redundancy filled- feedback system

The Carpentier heart weighs 900g, is roughly the same size as a real heart and imitates its functions exactly. Electrical sensors and microprocessors monitor the demands of the body for blood and adjust the operation of the heart accordingly
