So, in March of 2011, the doctors successfully replaced Lewis’ heart with the ‘continuous flow’ device they developed, proving that life was possible without a pulse or a heart beat–essentially without a human heart.

Although Lewis died due to complications from his disease, the heart pumps have yet to wear out like traditional devices, the trade off is the loss of the familiar and elemental sound of a beating human heart — a small price for a working heart.
