Boy do I hope this turns out like they planned

My father in law and many around the world could really benefit from this medical breakthrough.

Then people won't have to take a heart from a living human, which has always creeped me out, because what if those people really aren't brain dead, and it was our limited technology that wasn't able to detect their activity.

This would eliminate this ethical dilemma, and take any question away.
Now if they can grow the heart from your own DNA, you'd be set.
No rejection medication needed then.

Holy cow! That is awsome! I mean at least for Europeans it is awsome. Us Americans will have to go to another country to get it done while the jackasses on capitol hill fight over the research and morality and all the other crap. They say within 3 years probably. For us Americans, we'll see it when hell freezes over. I'm glad I live close to the Canadian border. Maybe I can go there and get it done. Bad history of heart disease in my family. THis is hope fer me. :D
